Poop emoji made from a termite mound is the roadside art we need
Here is some roadside artwork everyone can get behind.
While the poop emoji may be in everyday use on our smartphones, real life versions are an uncommon sight.
A roadside poop emoji made from a termite mound may be the start of a new trend. Located on the side of a road somewhere between the Western Australian towns of Karratha and Fortescue, you'll have to drive to find it, but you can bet it will be worth it.

The artists behind the sculpture are local couple Danny and Amanda Fitzgerald, who decided to get crafty after Danny noticed the termite mounds in the area bore a strong similarity to the Internet's most famous clump of poo.
"Danny thought they looked like the poo emoji and we wondered why no one had actually made one out of a termite mound yet," Amanda told The West Australian.
The couple popped over to Kmart to buy buckets that would serve as the shape of the eyes and mouth, putting them on a structure close to the road.
These mounds are created by termites -- tiny insects that move dirt to create impressive structures that can reach five metres (17 feet) or higher. They probably don't know what they're making resembles, um, you know what.
