As a rule, I’m not a big fan of scatological entertainment. Unless it involves Will Ferrell streaking through campus in Old School. Or Cameron Diaz using a “special conditioner” in There’s Something About Mary. Or Alyson Hannigan reminiscing about band camp in American Pie. OK, fine. Perhaps I’m a bit too in touch with my inner frat boy.
