The pun is that "poo" is "unko" in Japanese. However, "luck" is "un" and "ko" means little kid. So "unko/poo" is turned into "un-ko/lucky kid."
So this is a story about the lucky Unko-san and his unlucky friends. Baba is embarrassed because his friend saw him all drunk and poor and violent. Baba explains how his father had bad luck and got into a bunch of random accidents (burned, attacked by a raging bull, falling into man hole). Due to the hospital fees, they lost all their money.
So Unko-san gives Baba part of his "good luck." He doesn't believe him and jumps into the ocean, only to receive pearls from oysters (as long as he stays away from them).

Intro: Unko-san has the unique ability to spread luck to his unlucky friends.
Unko bumps into poop with glasses, causing him to drop bottle of wine and yells that it's expensive. Unko offers 500 yen, glasses says that it won't cover his medical expenses.
Unko recognizes poop with glasses and asks if he's Baba, who sheepishly says yes. Unko says he's surprised Baba would try the "bottle attack"
Baba runs off towards cliff. Unko tries to stop him but Baba is embarrassed that one of his friends would see him in this state. He then says he'll throw himself into the sea and Unko says to stop. Baba says its too late because of what happened to his dad.
Flashback scene of of dad working out and getting hit on the head with a pot of stew. Then the nurse exclaims there's a raging bull.
After second time at the hospital the nurse mentions the bull a second time and father says he won't fall for it again and drops in a hole.
Baba says all the money is being spent on his dad medical fees. And unko says he shouldn't be a bottle attacker. Baba says to shut up and what do you know about my situation. Unko says he understands and says he will pass on his good luck (which sounds like golden poop.) Baba is all happy and then mocks his newfound luck and throws himself into the water.
Can't make out to well when he's underwater but Baba thinks he's dead and the clams offer him a pearl to go away. Baba's happy that he can cover his dad's medical fees now.

Is was a sunny happy day on Poop Island. But Workout Poop felt poopy and frowned. Not poopy in that good way (like Smurfy is to Smurfs) but poopy in the diarrhea way. Then Workout Poop ran into Homeless Poop Who is Afraid of Swine Flu (HPWIAOSF). Workout Poop broke HPWIAOSF’s bottle of Jack, yo! That shit’s not cool. HPWIAOSF is mad and shows Workout Poop his pamphlet on why breaking someone’s last bottle of booze is bad. They fight!! HPWIAOSF freaks out. The two poops then retire to the Cliffs of Crap. HPWIAOSF has nothing to live for without his Swine Flu mask and liquor. Will he jump??!
Cut to a new scene - a flashback to when HPWIAOSF was just a tiny pellet poop. His father, Business Man Poop, is dreaming of Elvis Poop and lifts a barbell for some reason. Mom Poop carried pots on her head, which looks really difficult. A mouse runs around annoying the shit outta everyone, then causes the pot to bang into Dad’s head. Oh noes! They go to Trots Hospital, where a bull(shit) causes more mayhem. Then Dad Poop falls into the sewer and dies.
Back to HPWIAOSF in present time. What a sad story he has told! And now it gets weird. Workout Poop starts being all magic and shit, with lightning coming out of his poo! Then there’s some chocolate or something and a baby poo appears. HPWIAOSF jumps off the cliff and goes swimming where and he doesn’t melt in the water. He talks to an oyster, of course. Two oysters! He gets pearls (of wisdom??) from them. Workout Poop is totes impressed. The end.

This sounds suspiciously like the proposed Republican solution to the health care crisis; money will come from somewhere, just don't ask them to pay for it.

I love how we treat pediatric cancer survivors in this country.

I played phone tag with the financial administrator at the hospital FOR A WEEK because there was a brief delay in payment - I had to raise the limit on my bank card for payment, which takes 24 hours. She threatened to cancel my surgery altogether at least five times. A spokesman from my bank called her in my presence to offer the option of a cashier's check, which they rejected and later accepted, grudgingly.
Here's the crazy part - I have your money in full. Fucking roll out the red carpet!! When even someone in my financial situation is running into obstacles with health care?? That was enough proof for me...
THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN.

Oh, and birthers? Shut it. You lost. I know you're sore, but at least be honest. You're racist. Even if you try to sugar coat it by calling it something else, your only beef with Obama is that he's black and has a funny name and that freaks you out. Join the 21st century, it's really not that scary unless you're an ignorant, small-minded toad.

Every time M/M reimbursements are cut, private insurance lowers their reimbursements; hence, doctors make even less. FPs are already on the lower end of income spectrum, hence the shortage of them in the first place.
My husband does see a large number of M/M patients, against his partners' wishes - if they further cut reimbursements, he will have to stop. He is a professional, with eight years of college, four years of residency, ten years of service to the country and he works 60 hours a week. Who the hell has the right to expect him to provide his knowledge, expertise, and education for free?
BTW, we are still paying off his med school loans. And we are in our late 40's.

Good luck on the loans - they never seem to go away.

And I love how that horrible woman in the video went off about how he wasn't American. By virtue of having an American mother he was. And how her family had served in WWII and were "true Americans". Again, crazy, his grandfather served too!
And by definition, a "true American" would be a Native American. This entire country was founded by illegal aliens. Heck, I found out last year my great-grandfather was an illegal alien.

The likelihood of that is about as good as me becoming master of the universe, of course. A pregnant teen decides to hop a plane to Kenya to give birth and then flies back quickly? His father didn't even return to Kenya until he was like 2 or 3! It's not even a remotely plausible story.
