So he's sticking up for the local news coverage because "this type of behavior needs to be exposed". Oh really??? Is the Phantom Pooper going to come forward now? Are there people in Idaho Falls that were aware of this behavior but until the news covered it did not know it was wrong? Just what exactly did this "exposure" accomplish?

The only thing that makes sense to me is the story was done on a dare. With quality writing like "I wanted to to see what all the stink was about", "phantom pooper is taking a squat", "here's the scoop on the poop" "pooper stakeout" and "his preferential place to leave a log".

It's time to give credit where credit is due: Well done, KIDK Eyewitness News.
The TV station's investigative report about a phantom pooper has become somewhat of an Internet craze. Type in ""phantom pooper"" on Google and you'll see what I mean. Web sites including Moron.com, i-am-bored.com and a host of others picked up KIDK's Oct. 10 broadcast for all
on the Net to behold. In case you don't already know, here's the background, according to Channel 3: A man has been defecating at the pillars of the Lindsay Boulevard underpass.This act, besides being gross, is upsetting patrons and employees at nearby businesses because the smell has been
drifting to their doors.

I went to check out the area Friday morning to see if things have improved.
Upon parking my car at Outback Steakhouse, I did notice a foul smell
in the air. But I was downwind from a cattle trailer, so there's no way I would have noticed anything except those smelly cows.
And the pillars were noticeably cleaner than the ones KIDK displayed numerous times during its broadcast. But I think that's because it rained the whole day Thursday, not because the pooper decided to find another spot.
It's funny, though. It seems like most of the people logging on to the Web sites replaying the story aren't laughing with KIDK's newsteam - they're laughing at them.

Take Videosift.com for instance, which titles the report ""Phantom Pooper - This is News?"" Someone also left a comment below the video questioning which was worse, the story or KIDK for broadcasting it.
Ouch!
What these Internet low lives fail to realize is this type of behavior needs to be exposed, and Channel 3 did just that. It's a good thing the Idaho Falls Police Department isn't taking this phantom pooper lightly, either.
Lt. Joe Cawley didn't know who was specifically assigned to the case,
but did say officers patrolling the area around the Lindsay Boulevard underpass will be on the lookout for anyone dropping trough.
This guy faces a misdemeanor if they catch him in the act.
Even though some on the Net find the phantom pooper story ridiculous, KIDK is still getting a lot of exposure. And that has to count for something, right?
So kudos to KIDK Eyewitness News.
You really did live up to your new slogan: ""Watching Out for You.""
