We All Got Pinkeye -- Dung Dang, Y'all

TMZ broke the story yesterday that the dysfunctional clan known as Britney, Kevin, Sean Preston and Jayden James all have pink eye. So what, you may ask, is pinkeye?

While so-called "doctors" might tell you it is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, typically caused by an allergic reaction or infection, TMZ got the down low from, where else, TV and movies!

According to the film "Knocked Up," pinkeye is caused "when poop particles make their way into your ocular cavities," adding that it can occur when you "fart bare-assed onto another person's pillow," often done as a practical joke.
Meanwhile, one of the side effects of pinkeye, according to "South Park," is a desire to travel around in packs, eating the brains of other people.



If you or someone you know has been afflicted with pinkeye, please rent "Knocked Up," or season one of "South Park." Antibiotic eye drops may also be used, but aren't nearly as funny.

31. #15 please don't warn the paps, they so all want the money shot let them get pink eye. Mark you since the source is TMZ I dont know that I believe this story at all. By the way the people who write these stories for TMZ must be around 5 years old.

34. Thank you Dr. Mom. My daughter and my husband and I had it this past May. It is highly contagious, and you get it by wiping your hands over your eyes. You just go to your doctor and he/she will prescribe eye drops. Anyone can get it even if you are the cleanest person.

36. You do not get pink eye from make up but if you get pink eye you are supposed to throw out your make up because you could be putting bacteria back in when you re apply. Its highly contaigous. If you rub one eye then the other then you will have it in both.

40. It's not unusual for folks with children to get pink eye or stys. If you've ever had children and changed their diapers, you would know that they love to explore their own lower parts while undiapered. I always wash their hands after a diaper change, but it's probably impossible to get it all.

44. pink eye(conjunctivitis) is VIRAL=NO antibiotics! and it might feel crappy but it sure as hell doesn't make you light sensitive(if it does, you have a serious infection going on). the whole poop/pinkeye thing comes from the fact that most pink eye is caused by adenovirus which is a virus present in the intestinal tract..not properly washing hands, ect can cause it. but not neccessarily. you can also get it from water and by touching just about any surface. there are many different types of pinkeye caused by many different types of viruses all of which are extremely contagious.

45. You can get pink eye if you rub your nose and get the germs on your hands and transmit the bacteria to your eyes. It is not always from "fecal" matter.
