    Free Speech? - Don't speak out your Ass

    Ananova:
    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.
    Interpol APB issued for Mr. Farty Mcfarterson.

    Just last week, a polish representative to the EU demanded that the EU outlaw abortions, and put a ban on homosexual propaganda.

    The rest of the EU was not amused

    Then my suggestion would be that you not fart.

    Yes, Poland will destroy the very meaningful political institution they have going there in the EU, which I can only assume exists underneath the bastardized mini-UN and the rest of us just haven't been told about it.
