Incidentally, the ''[[Myth Busters]]'' have proven that you can indeed polish a literal turd to a high shine without resorting to additional coatings if you dry it, pulverize it, reconstitute it and pat it until very smooth. Bless those boys. There's also that giant shiny golden...thing [[wikipedia:Asahi Beer Hall|on the roof of Asahi Breweries]] in Tokyo. Officially it's named "''Flamme d'Or''", or "Golden Flame" and should represent a "burning heart of Asahi Beer" (even corporate lickspittles can be creative... sort of), but '''nobody''' who ever saw the thing has called it anything other than simply "Golden Turd". ThinkGeek also sells tiny golden turds as necklaces.
