Or, to put it another way, "Steph Matto made $200,000 selling her farts online and ended up in the emergency room fearing she was about to die of a heart attack."
She thought she was having a heart attack or a stroke, and was convinced she was going to die any moment.
Concerned doctors performed blood tests and an EKG but later told the 90 Day Fiancé star that the symptoms were actually caused by excess gas from her frequent diet of beans, eggs, and banana protein shakes.
It's hard to argue that we are not actually living in the end times (so to speak). Our culture has become a confusing mélange of perversions, exhibitionism, violence, neuroses, ignorance and bad jokes.
She made a small fortune selling her farts, and we have to admit that is a fine (if questionable) example of American ingenuity which she'll have to live down in her old age. The true ick factor comes in when you contemplate the kind of people who would actually buy something like that.
ReplyDeleteExhibitionism isn't new, but the depths people go to in its pursuit is getting weirder and stupider.
ReplyDeleteJust like the rest of our society.
I'll never understand why people care so much about what other people think of them.
But then, I don't like people.

ReplyDeleteTrue.
I'll never understand why people care so much about what other people think of them.
Especially when those other people are complete strangers.
You know, what she should have done was subcontract fart production, maybe outsource it to China.
Were she a real entrepreneurial capitalist, she would have outsourced the farts. Hired some, uh... high output producers and bottled the product. I mean, a fart's a fart, right? You can't send one to a lab and have it typed, can you? And even if you could, is that a resource available to the type of people who pay for as jar of fart?
ReplyDeleteIf she can reroute the farts for oral expulsion, she's got a guaranteed career in politics.
ReplyDeleteI have NO intention of selling my farts.
ReplyDeleteOn line, or in person.
I share them, free of charge, as a service to humanity.
It's what I do.
May God bless you for your selflessness.
DeleteIf a guy like George Shultz can't smell a con, or believe an eye-witness who was his own grandson,
ReplyDelete'Shultz said his late grandfather didn’t believe him when he told him that the company’s claims were bogus. “He said Elizabeth has assured me that they go above and beyond all regulatory standards,” Tyler recalled. “‘I think you’re wrong’ is what he told me.” '

then the rot has probably been growing for a very long time. How much crap always went on because the 'good' people trusted those they shouldn't have? Which why we need streetwise leaders, not preening formalists.
Jeffs: Humanity thanks you.
ReplyDeleteBruce: I saw that sort of thing very frequently among higher-ups in the federal agency I worked for. "So-and-so is good people, known him for years, a real sharp guy" etc.
I saw a graphic somewhere that said,
ReplyDeleteRemember that one girl from high school that said she'd go out with if the world was ending?
Well, this may be the year to give her a call.
