Human Turd On Display

Not an actual human turd, but a human dressed as a turd.

Oliver Parsons-Baker had his hour of fame on Trafalgar Square’s fourth plinth this morning, wearing a turd costume. For the next three months volunteers chosen at random will each be given an hour to stand on Trafalgar Square’s empty plinth as a living piece of art.

Mr Parsons-Baker from Birmingham is an aquatic scientist and clean water activist. His display as Poo Man was his way of highlighting the need for clean water.

“The poo costume seems funny at first glance but there is a very serious message behind it.” he told gathered reporters.

“2.5 billion people, that’s one in five of the world’s population, don’t have anywhere safe to go to the toilet,” he continued.

“I want people to get behind me and demand that world leaders prioritise water and sanitation alongside health and education.”

Halfway through his hour long stint Parsons-Baker changed into a fish costume to protest against over-fishing in the world’s oceans.
