The incongruity of an olfactory and auditory phenomenon having a site dedicated to its video representation is mildly amusing. Your gloss of the advert on the other hand is tediously redundant.

I have to admit, I am a chronic elevator farter, and I'm just pleased as punch to find a site where my evil-yet-hilarious habit is glorified.

I keep getting ads like, "How do you know if he's into you?" and "Finding the right guy" et cetera. Apparently google thinks I'm gay.

If you would stop sending people emails about Farce of the Penguins this matter would probably be settled.

Yeah, but I was held back a year, so I'm only in 5th grade.
