iFart launches social network. Yes, really.

iFart Mobile, the king of the hill of iPhone fart apps (and we can’t believe we just typed that either) has stayed on the -- ahem -- cutting edge of technology by providing frequent updates to their chucklehead product. The developers recently added in-app purchasing of downloadable fart upgrade packages. Available are such classy collections as the Rock Bands pack (featuring Aerosniff, Fartwood Mac, and Hubastink) and the Gassy Celebrities collection (with Methane McConnaghey, Gaston Kutcher, and Colon O’Brien).

Okay, we’re not talking Algonquin Roundtable here. But we love the campfire scene in “Blazing Saddles” as much as the next guy.

Now the iFart gang is introducing a social network for fartophiles. We’l let you discover the ridiculous details for yourself at the company’s blog. Basically, once one of your “Fart Budz™” has “friended” you, the iPhone’s -- ahem -- push technology allows you to send them a quick trouser cough anytime, anywhere. (No matter what you’re doing. And you’re stuck like that. Forever. It’s like a mobile phone version of getting an ill-advised tattoo.)

Can a fart app create a social network? Why not? Call it...Fartbook. Or if they add video uploading capabilities, they could launch You Toot. Or you could share a quick 140-character message on your latest blast via...something that rhymes with Twitter.

Stupid? You betcha. But it’s not the dumbest idea that ever brought a diverse group of bent-arrows together. (That would be this.) So high-five to the shameless capitalists of iFart, and here’s hoping they continue to -- ahem -- leave their mark on society.
