Didn't the Jeff Dunham character Peanut say "Polish a turd, it's still a turd!"?

Ok, this trope seems interesting to me and everything, but the title is enough Nausea Fuel to keep me off the page. Am I just being squeamish, or does anyone else feel the same way?

This trope needs more anime examples.

That's Asahi breweries? That's a flame? I didn't think it was a turd, I thought it was a sperm, but... without a tail... so not really a sperm, but not a turd or a flame either... a slime?

I made this Idolized Julius Kingsley icon back when Akito first came out, and now that the crossover is actually happening, I don't care.

Okay, confused. Most of the 'examples' are more 'explain ways people Polish the Turd', which is fine. But then a couple of real examples pop up. Which one is it supposed to be? Or maybe it's both? I dunno.

I have to say both because to me, an example is an example.

I'd say general examples work here because it's a broad trope and it's explaining common ways certain industries go about it.
