Enjoy This Soothing Video of Port-a-Potties Being Ripped from the Earth
VICE ^ | Jun 15 2018, 4:25pm | Lauren Messman

One of man's most wretched creations gets its karmic comeuppance.


Using a port-a-potty is about as enjoyable as brushing your teeth with gravel. Half outhouse, half torture chamber, the rudimentary bathroom option is usually weirdly hot, emits a revolting smell, and induces claustrophobia. Port-a-potties have also provided the setting for one too many horror stories. We all know this, and yet we're still forcing human beings to use the plastic poop prisons in various public places.

They are, if nothing else, unnecessarily vile creations, which is why watching some get swept away in a wind storm is both terrifying and strangely cathartic.

Thankfully, no one was inside of the port-a-potties when the wind storm hit the Colorado park Monday, and we're left with a fitting visual metaphor. The incident serves as a sort of karmic comeuppance for the disgusting creation, getting blasted away from the good people on the ground and up into the air, where it's unable to control its own faculties, spraying the sky with some unidentifiable liquid. A moment later, we catch a glimpse of the second hell hole being violently smashed into one of the park's structures, before being blown away.

Sure, the rest of the video is terrifying and captures parents and children diving to the ground in sheer terror as gusts of wind tear over them. But for a second we get to see one of man's most wretched inventions being torn skyward and away from Earth, where it can no longer torture our tiny bladders and weary souls.

When I looked at the pics I thought they were Southwest Airlines due to the color.
Are the passengers OK?

That columnist was really good (sadly rare these days). I’m sure the wind must’ve been scary to the people, but the image of those port-a-potties taking flight was priceless!

At least the contents weren’t frozen. Can you imagine the headlines?

“Park in Colorado hit by Icy BM’s”

(Don’t blame me. Mrs. Hoagy62 came up with that one.)

If portapoties/outhouses make you nervous, crap on the street ala San Francisco. Fingers and a bar of soap and a fire hydrant and presto you’re good to go next time. Try not to use to much water. Gotta conserve.

It involves a full Porta-Potty and giant bungee cords. Only for the strong of stomach. You were warned.

I don’t think the wind was the reason the crowd was screaming and diving to the ground - that was their reaction from being sprayed with porta potty juices raining down upon them!

That was Commerce City, BTW—not Denver. Commerce City is a gambling town.

The poop mist was an artistic plus.
