Hey, I just realized that Lily Allen is singing about Colostomy Bags in her 'Window shopper' song. Here are the lyrics

  ... and the video:





The bottom feels so much better than the top!

So much better!



Nan you're a window shopper

Taking a look but you never buy

Nan you're a window shopper

You won't pick it up if it's over a fiver

Nan you're a window shopper

Get on the bus 'cause you still can't drive

Nan you're a window shopper

Mad as fuck, only just alive



You get up in the morning and you like your tea milky

You fumble for your glasses 'cause without 'em you can't see

It's funny how I come around your house and I'm twenty

And I still have to wear all the presents you sent me



I walk into your kitchen everything's got a label

You've done your Christmas shopping and we're only in April

And you won't leave your house unless you're wearing your thermals

You're covered all in cat hair and you're stinking like strepsils



You're headed down the bowls club, have another orange squash

Balls are rollin', rollin', rollin'

You can't walk right 'cause things aren't what they were

Your ankles are swollen, swollen, swollen



Nan you're a window shopper

Taking a look but you never buy

Nan you're a window shopper

You won't pick it up if it's over a fiver

Nan you're a window shopper

Get on the bus 'cause you still can't drive

Nan you're a window shopper

Mad as fuck, only just alive



Walking down the post office to pick up your pension

And then you're off to bingo, it's become an obsession

So wary of the kids when they're wearing their hoods up

And even if they smile at you you think it's a stick up



You only buy the paper just to cut out the coupons

You're saving 50p but what do you want with tampons

You're always at the doctor picking up you prescription

And they throw in some KY just to ease up the friction



You've got a leak in your colostomy bag

Yeah, it's got a hole in, hole in, hole in

On the weekend you're shopping with your trolley

It's sad how you're rollin', rollin', rollin'



Nan you're a window shopper

Taking a look but you never buy

Nan you're a window shopper

You won't pick it up if it's over a fiver

Nan you're a window shopper

Get on the bus 'cause you still can't drive

Nan you're a window shopper

Mad as fuck, only just alive

That actually made me look a little more and I found another Colostomy song. Funny:

I don't usually regard myself as prudish, but if the words to the song are correct, I hope I can come back and haunt that arrogant young woman. "Wait until it happens to you" is what springs to mind.

I have a wicked sense of humor, however, I do not find any of this amusing or interesting.  I'm offended.  It's degrading.  I'm a survivor, I don't need to be degraded.

I have a black, bleak sense of humor and laugh about dwarfs, cripples, and other unfortunates as long as it's funny, so my only comment is: that the bloke with the guitar is funny, the puppets are not, the subject matter is irrelevant.
Perhaps it's a good thing that the bag is becoming more mainstream and is not so unmentionable.
I think one problem is that a colostomy is normally equated with a Zimmer frame, when we all know that often the diseases that cause IBD strike fit young people.

wow....I'm 39, a teenager may think I'm old but I'm not; I also have a very twisted sense of humor but I didn't find any of this funny in the least. Let me also say this, even BEFORE I had an ostomy...I wouldn't have found it funny. I will say this...karma is a BITCH.
