Police hunt farting dissident

Police in Poland have launched a nationwide hunt for a man who farted loudly when asked what he thought of the president.

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.

Hoffmann was arrested and released on bail but failed to turn up at a Warsaw court early this week to be tried, and the judge in the case rejected an appeal by defence lawyers to throw the charges out.

A court spokesman said: "Such a case of disrespect is taken very seriously."

Instead the court ordered the police to start a nationwide hunt for the man, and interpol have been alerted.

I heard this on the news yesterday. It seems like the government is going out of its way to prove him right.

I hear Onion can cause such things. This story is a joke isn't it? Well, it's definitely a joke, but is it real?

I believe it is real.

I guess you'd better try to keep it SBD when in Poland. I wonder if they will arrest you for making a fart noise with your hand under your armpit. Maybe someone should sell whoopie cushions with the president's picture on them.

If they catch him, will he be let go, or expelled?

They should just let it pass.

Winston Smith · « **Reply #15 on:** October 04, 2006, 05:34:48 PM »

What about released, antibubba? Hmm?
