Polish police hunt farting dissident
That’s the Ananova.com headline for what is actually a story from about a month ago. But they have a certain flair when telling it.
Many have commented on this government’s weak grip on the concept of some basic human rights. Well, another is being challenged: the right to fart.
Police in Poland have launched a nationwide hunt for a man who farted loudly when asked what he thought of the president.
Hubert Hoffman [of no fixed abode - and no, that is not him in the photo, that's the president], 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 [meaning, harassing homeless people] 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.
I am impressed by his self control – maybe he has a future in a circus?
Personally, if I were the cops, I would not have ‘promptly arrested’ him. I would give it a few seconds for the atmosphere to improve a little. But it’s come to something, has it not, when letting off is unconstitutional.
Ss, is a basic human right under threat? Is there a UN charter on farting? Call the human rights lawyers!
Maybe, in connection with the anti-government demonstration this Saturday in Warsaw, the beatroot should organize a mass ‘fart-in’ outside parliament?
