    You know, the one about the movie called "Ass"?



    Yeah, funny and all, but let's look back in history a wee bit.

    In the 19th Century, one of the hottest acts in France was a performer who farted. No shit.

    In the 70s, the Brits did a short biopic of the guy.



    Dude was so famous that when William S. Burroughs was shooting up heroin in Paris in the 50s, people still talked about him and that led to this famous Burroughs piece.

    so idiocracy took inspiration from our world. OK, thank you captain obvious. Is there something else that we can help you with today?

    Is there a topic that you wanted to discuss within this? I can give you a few princess points for the interesting trivia. Burroughs is always fun, so there is that.

    anyways, bump I guess?
