There's a petition to rename the planet Uranus to Diarrhea Planet

by Tyler Munro

Diarrhea Planet are so much more impressive than their name, and live, it’s the least ridiculous thing about them. With four guitarists, all of whom are seemingly soloing, crowdsurfing or smiling at once, their set is an explosion of energy, like Fang Island filtered through an episode of Adventure Time as written by Thin Lizzy.

That said: their name is still pretty ridiculous. I mean, it’s Diarrhea Planet. And taking that into account is a new petition which is aiming to rename the planet Uranus after them, because, as it states, “Uranus is kinda halfway to Diarrhea Planet anyway.”

Do you get the joke? Let me explain if not. Said aloud, Uranus sounds eerily like “your anus,” which is a reference to your butt. Diarrhea comes from butts, and planet is, as you might have guessed, a reference to the different planets in our universe. It works on so many levels!

Anywho, the petition only has 87 signatures, and it needs 99,913 before May 11th, so it’s a long shot.
