Farting On The Telly: Canadian Idol

There’s no rigid way to properly fart on the telly. As we’ve shown in the past, it can sneak up on heartbroken elderly men and it can be an utterly inevitable byproduct of yoga.

But this? This is just the brashest thing we’ve ever seen. There’s no build-up to it, and certainly no attempt to try and hide it. And forget about politely silent embarrassment as well - when this young lady farts, it’s received as if it’s the single most groundbreaking piece of cutting-edge comedy since the dawn of man.

Still, this is Canada we’re talking about, so it probably does count as cutting edge comedy. The nervous trump on Canadian Idol was the making of this woman, by the way - she’s had three number one albums, had featured in over 30,000 television commercials, is actually depicted on Canadian currency and one TV station shows nothing but a video of her guffing off into her dirty pants and looking quite sad. Go her!
