The eco-tourism show, called "Trippin'," premiered on March 28 and was heavily promoted in the runup to Earth Day. The show encourages environmental awareness and lauds traditional tribal lifestyles, which lack running water, electricity and other basic infrastructure.
Drew Barrymore, apparently enthralled by the lack of a modern sanitary facilities, gleefully bragged, "I took a poo in the woods hunched over like an animal. It was awesome." When Barrymore bragged about defecating in the forest, Diaz responded she would like to have the same experience.
"I am so jealous right now, I am going -- I am going to the woods tomorrow," Diaz said. A clearly satisfied Barrymore laughed, repeating, "It was awesome."
After her visit to Chile, Barrymore expressed guilt about not always adhering to earth-friendly practices. "Like I leave the light on all the time in my house because I want to feel safe. I am so spoiled, I am -- I am going to start conserving," Barrymore insisted. "It is just overwhelming how important it is to like, love our planet all the time and not take advantage of it," Barrymore concluded.

please, please tell me that's actually an onion article.
nope, looks like it's true. quoted there and a zillion other places. The Onion is now obsolete.
Parody stopped exceeding reality when Kermit the Frog co-hosted Nightline with Ted Koppel to explain the stock market crash of 1987.
Afraid not. See the Slate article about the same series (scroll down).
Drew was on Daily Show last week going on about this.
She ruined my Daily Show enjoyment :/
then please tell me she was raked over the coals on air?
alas no, it was mostly fodder about the red sox movie she made, with slight mention about her on the show with diaz. only raking over hot coals I recall was John on Crossfire, which wasn't daily showzen, nor barrymore
He was pretty tough on Henry Bonilla, if I'm remembering the correct interview.
I'm so grateful that these hippie-chicks are filling the world with their hippie-shit. I'm sure the animals really appreciated Drew Barrymore marking her territory in their back yard. I wonder if she wiped.
animals eat poo
I wondered the same thing. I guess this gives Drew's warm and fuzzy earth story credence to the saying " S---for brains ".
And the water was full of parasites! It was awesome!
I love those two ladies. They are just beyond any expectations.
