It’s number one with a bullet in YouTube’s “News & Politics” section, which I guess makes it officially newsworthy. Is this the dumbest palate cleanser we’ve ever posted? No doubt. Will you laugh? No doubt. In the age of messianic Keynesianism, my friends, we must pause to savor the simple pleasures.
Actually, maybe “savor” is the wrong word here.

Hilarious. Did someone bring their retriever to the meeting? Shaking from laughter.
I apologize to no one for my grammar school reaction. Most fun I’ve had all day! Thanks, Allah.

Does anyone know exactly what city council this was?
Where is MsUnderestimated when you need her?

I call fake.
Notice how it cuts away after the first fart, and then cuts away after the second fart. Something else made those councilmembers laugh, and it wasn’t a fart.
And another thing, the farts were way too clear. Too loud. It’s like someone held the mic up to their butt. Those cushioned seats would have muffled the sound. I didn’t see anyone leaning over.

Ok, it didn’t cut away after the first fart, but it’s still fake.

Allah, you’re pulling my leg by posting this. Or perhaps I should say you’re pulling my finger by posting this.

I think we need another term to use besides “obligatory”

I second that motion. That is the most intelligent utterance I have heard from a politician in years.

That was funny! They are full of Gas!

Anyone who resists an opportunity to giggle at a fart is missing out on one of God’s greatest daily gifts..

I have to agree that those poots were fake. I think those are stock poot sounds that I’ve heard on other videos.
As long as we’re being juvenile: Why do farts stink?
So deaf people can enjoy them too.

Dunno if this is a contrived or proper fart.
But something smells.

Now, now…we shouldn’t be making fun of ducks, rats and/or great danes.

These are typical politicians, still in grade school. How approprate that their instinct is to giggle and then call for recess. We pay a salary to these people?

Finally, a pol who understands the voters!

There must have been an earthquake, I heard the windows rattle!

I do not know the exact location of this city council meeting, but my 11 o’clock news last night showed this video and said it was a local city council meeting. So, it is somewhere here in north east Ohio.

Just think what D.C. is like.

The contest who did it? Look at the body language not the language of the matter under consideration.
MSGTAS on March 11, 2009 at 10:33 AM
That was Farticus, future revolutionary against Obama’s enslaving stimulus package…
Nolamom67 on March 11, 2009 at 11:14 AM
that should read Fartacus and not Farticus.
Nolamom67 on March 11, 2009 at 11:17 AM
Why do farts smell?
So the deaf can enjoy them as well.
LimeyGeek on March 11, 2009 at 11:36 AM
Government that makes scents
workingforpigs on March 11, 2009 at 12:42 PM
I demand to know who did this! The mystery is killing me. Someone investigate this.
