Interpol hunting farter

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.

SWEET

Yeah, seems he was right about dictatorship.

My dad has that opinion about everything.

LOL

I'm not even going to bother straightening out all the nonsense in that article.

Heh. free speech.

Farting isn't speech.

Besides, he didn't fart, it wasn't a routine check, he didn't 'complain', Interpol wasn't alerted and they aren't looking for him anymore, he didn't have any defence lawyers, etc. etc.

The only statement that's somewhat accurate is that the morons who are running Poland are trying to turn it into a dictatorship. Fortunately enough, they're failing hard.

Lol, Poland must need something to do.

You forgot poland!

This sounds like a Monty Python sketch or something.

"When asked what he thought of Bush, the man promptly walked to the nearest shrub and urinated on it. The US government has yet to issue a response..."

When then asked what he thought of Dick Cheyney he swallowed 10 laxative tablets, swallowed a bag of pop-rocks, pulled down his pants, and sprayed jumping jelly shits all over passing pedestrians.

I must admit, the guy's response to the question was a bit uncalled for. He could have simply stated that he didn't approve of the way the government was running things.

If he had, none of you would have discussed it.

Take 90% of the people on this forum for instance.
