Michael Rosen

Michael Wayne Rosen (born 7 May 1946) is an English broadcaster, poet and children's book author. He was appointed as the fifth Children's Laureate in June 2007, succeeding Jacqueline Wilson, and held this honour until 2009.

Rosen recently gained some infamy in the Internet for being the subject of a YouTube Poop series involving his videos being spliced to make it seem like he's saying something else, i.e. profanities or other adult references. While he did somewhat object to it, his reaction to the parodies was mostly positive, commending on the poopers' creativity. He did also agree to a YTPer's comment on parents being lax on their children's surfing habits.

In the parodies
Besides being featured on YTPs, Rosen also appeared on parodies made by certain Untergangers like Benad361, DictatorAntics and WonkyTonkBotty. Benad's Rosen Wars: Revenge of the Plamz marks Rosen's first major involvement in the Parody Universe.
