Walked into a retailer on Sunday and there were a few emoji displays around the store. How low does retail have to sink to think that selling items that look like Poo with eyes are going to be a "hot" seller?

It IS a hot seller with the right demographic,(anime, manga, cosplay, etc?) ok maybe WAS is a better choice of words since it seems it's not as popular as it used to be.
'It begins with a pun

Emoji began in Japan back in 1999, but to understand the inclusion of poop in its trailblazing series of graphics one has to go somewhat further back. In Japanese, the word for poop (unko) starts, coincidentally, with the same “oon” sound as the word for “luck.” Moreover, there has always existed a long tradition of poo-centric worship in the country. Before the digital age, it was still fairly common in Japan to look to deities known as banjo-gami, or privy gods, by keeping figures on top of or underneath the loo. Gold poop charms are popular good luck tokens in Japan, as are sweets that resemble that Smiling Pile of Poop emoji. Kawaii.
