Saskatchewan Gov't In Fake Dirt Scandal

Breaking News

March 29, 2004, Small Dead Animals brought you this story:

Today, under pressure from the Opposition, the Saskatchewan Government admitted that the souvenir bags advertised did not contain pure lake bottom goose shit soil, but were in fact, cut with sand trucked from outside the city.

Property Management Corp. Minister Deb Higgins explained that the bags were filled with sand that was used during the lake deepening.

Dirt directly from the lake bed could not be used because there was too much decaying goose excrement and alluvium in it. It was also rather mucky and hard to put into the bags.

This reminder - the next time the government promises to give out free shit - not only is it not free, it may not be the shit you thought you were getting...
