Counter Point: It Takes A Truly Awful Person To Completely Clear Out A Movie Theater With A Rancid Fart
Yeah yeah yeah I get it. Farts are funny! I'm not going to sit here and act like I'm above laughing over somebody ripping ass. I get it. Dude humor.
The act of farting is inherently funny. I will give you that. But at the same time, the aftermath is crucial in determining if the humor of a fart lands or not. Because there is absolutely, positively, unequivocally a line which cannot be crossed when farting. If you let one rip and it's loud but only moderately putrid? You're fine. The moment it starts to smell like something crawled up your ass and died? That's when it's no longer a silly little "oopsie", and it turns more on the side of domestic terrorism.
Here's the thing--anybody who has the ability to clear out an entire movie theater with a fart definitely knows they have horrifyingly smelly farts. This wasn't just a fart that got away from this person. This wasn't just a surprise catastrophic crop dusting. This is someone who knows their ass smells like the gates of hell, yet they chose to let one fly anyway.
That makes you a selfish asshole, pun only somewhat intended. You knew the damage and chaos you would cause, and you chose to do it anyway. That's not the same thing as a kid farting in the back of the class. That is one person actively choosing to make everybody's life around him completely miserable. That makes you a prick.
It's just crazy to me that Rico--a guy who thinks it should be against the law to take off your jacket at a wedding--is the one who can't see that a line was egregiously crossed here. Farts are funny, but a fart this horrendous puts a major dent in fart humor for future generations. It's as selfish of a fart as they come.
