This is attracting a very niche audience. I know from seeing “Shit happens” baseball caps (with fake turd on the visor) in novelty stores that there is an audience for low-brow toilet humor. And based on T-shirts, wallpaper, etc. with the Penguin Classics motif, I know Penguin Classics sells to an audience as well. But is there really a significant overlap in these two groups?
Someone beat you to it.

I don’t believe I own any Penguin Classics, but I would venture to guess that there’s a sizable overlap between “people who laugh at scatological humor” and nearly any other subset of humanity you could name.
