History Of Farting As An Art Form And Other Farting Videos
Long before Paris Hilton, preachers, and other celebrity farting videos on YouTube became popular - there was Joseph Pujol. His stage name "Le Petomane" translates into "The Farting Maniac". For 2 years (1892-1894) he was the farting star attraction at the Moulin Rouge in Paris, France. We're talking about Joseph Pujol: "Le Fartiste" - the man whose talent to fart at will made him world-famous.
You might be disgusted by the idea of visiting a theater performance of a farting entertainer. However, there was a time not too long ago, when international royalty and many major celebrities couldn't wait to be seen in the front rows - at one of Joseph Pujol's art farting shows.
He was one of the most popular stars in his home country France: Fart-ist, art-ist, showman extraordinaire - Joseph Pujol, "Le Petomane". This lens tells his story and shows many other popular fart videos.

The man from Marseille...
...discovers his talent.
Joseph was born in 1857, in Marseille, France. He was one of 5 children in his family. One day, when swimming in the ocean, he discovered that when he held his breath while diving, cold water would fill his rear. Years later in the army, Joseph would utilize this ability to suck up water into his rectum, to demonstrate tricks to his army buddies by projecting water for several yards from his rear.
A baker by trade, Mr. Pujol surprised his customers often by producing strange sounds from behind the counter. He was now perfecting his art of sucking up air and farting it back out at will, imitating musical instruments, animal sounds, thunder storms, and much more.

From Marseille to Paris
Le Petomane debuted on the stage in Marseille, in 1887. 5 years later the Moulin Rouge called and Joseph Pujol moved his act to Paris. There he entertained European luminaries such as Edward, the Prince of Wales, Sigmund Freud, and Leopold II of Belgium, with his outrageous performances.
By now, Le Fartiste "blew" out candles from several yards away, played the flute through a rubber tube, and farted the "Marseillaise"!

Blow-out at the "Rouge"
Pujol wanted to help a friend and staged a benefit performance. The Moulin Rouge management sued him for an impromptu exhibition and subsequently lost their star attraction.
For the next ten years, Le Petomane took his show on the road, to raving receptions of his poem recitals with "animal" sounds and his top act, a farting impression of the 1906 San Francisco earth quake.
During the beginning of World War I, Pujol retired from show business and returned to his bakery, opening a biscuit factory in Toulon.
He died in 1945, at the age of 88. When the Sorbonne offered much money to the family for the right to study Le Petomane's body, the family refused.

- Resoundingly entertaining... In case you haven't come across the classic Mark Twain piece, "1601," I'm including a link for you here. It's one of my favorite little pieces of literature. Enjoy!

- I think that's one type of humour that straddles all cultures, peoples and nations. When it comes to accidental farting, we can all agree, it's fabulously funny!
