SPECTACULARLY preposterous. NSFW. (And don't think you can get away with sneaking a quick peek in your cube when no one's looking. There's a chance you'll laugh "OL" and attract co-worker attention.)

This very well may have pushed us to a new level of Internet ridiculousness.

OK, for those at work, who can't click on the link. This lady sat on a cake and farted. Actually, she sat on a cake, and the camera man made farting noises.

This, as it turns out, is the best of the web, because, sadly, the web turned to suck.

Hey - it's farting on a cake. Literally. It's the kind of thing people jokingly conjecture about being on the Internet, and someone actually did it.

If there's something that strikes you as more preposterously absurd, post it!

Here's the thing.

Sometimes 'preposterously absurd' is best of the web. E.g., salmon hentai, Ron Paul, or a bunny with a pancake on its head.

The rest of the time, it is really not.

I leave it as an exercise for the reader to figure out which category this post belongs in.

In terms of obscure and bizarre fetishes, this rates, maybe, in the top fifty, or even lower, considering the quality of model they got to do it.

If the only woman who will consent to take part in the video is a 200lb, forty-something immigrant from the former Eastern Block who's paid in crack, your fetish is really way out there.

To sum up: Your favorite fetish sucks.

Firstly, this is sort of awesome. I think. My instinct says this post isn't going to last, though, so everyone chug their beers and get ready to bounce.

Secondly, there used to be some sort of pervasive UseNet spam about farting on cakes. I feel like it may have had something to do with the Meow Wars. Either way, farting on cakes has been an internet meme before, for some ungodly reason, and I'm pleased to observe that it will probably never, ever go away, outlasting even the works of Shakespeare and quarterlife.

Thirdly, I once saw an article about the leading figure in fart pornography, and it was actually very interesting because the woman who is apparently this leading figure is actually a cunning, Machiavellian figure, who just so happens to have cornered the fart market. I wish I could find that article again, but not enough to actually actively search for it. So, I won't, and now I'm going to stop thinking about farts and fartists.

I did not follow the link. Hovering over it with my mouse and seeing http://www.cakefarts.com in my status bar did, however, make me smile quietly to myself and bring to mind in a welter of pleasantly nostalgic feelings the many amusing fart jokes I have enjoyed in decades past, and so: it is good.

I had long ago resigned myself to a a lifetime of asexuality. It's a hard road, never partaking of the sweet bliss so many others seem to find at the very heart of human experience. But there was just nothing that could bring me to climax.

Thank you, CakeFarts!
