The Fart that Led to Prison
Ananova reports:
Police in Poland have launched a nationwide hunt for a man who farted loudly when asked what he thought of the president.And he's probably going to jail for it. Something for Indymedia posters to consider next time they bitch about America being totalitarian.
Hubert Hoffman, 45, was charged with "contempt for the office of the head of state" for his actions after he was stopped by police in a routine check at a Warsaw railway station.
He complained that under President Lech Kaczynski and his twin brother Jaroslaw, the country was returning to a Communist style dictatorship.
When told to show more respect for the country's rulers, he farted loudly and was promptly arrested.
