Here’s Why Social Media Stinks

Farts are Funny! What’s Wrong with Farting?

Chris Pirillo — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 07:42:16 +0000

Farts are Funny! What’s Wrong with Farting?

We all have barking spiders living in our homes right now. Sometimes, they climb aboard our clothing and travel with us to work. Sprays don’t get rid of them, either (believe me, I’ve tried). Inevitably, no matter how much we try to prevent their presence, they will likely be with us until death.

It’s perfectly xtra normal to have gas. As an adult, I know I shouldn’t laugh when someone farts – but I can’t help it. Is it just me? I mean, am I the only one who think farts sound funny? There’s something primitive about a left cheek sneak. I’ve been farting all my life. I don’t think I could trust someone who didn’t fart (or who couldn’t admit that they did pass gas every so often).

I was farting around with the aforelinked text-to-video site tonight and this popped out. It’s not a secret anymore. Of course, none of it is true (to my knowledge). Go ahead and press play if you dare.
