The "Pull My Finger" people have sent a letter to the iFart creators, warning that use of the phrase "pull my finger" was a trademark infringement. They want compensation for lost app sales, estimated at $50,000. (Denver Post)

They have quite a market for their farting sound machine. Reminds me of the movie Idiocracy.

My dad should sue both companies. He was telling us "pull my finger" before the invention of the internet.

Best parts of the story are:
The shyster's name~~
"attorney John Posthumus"
Correctly named after a toilet and SHOULD BE dead as they all should.
"Air-O-Matic co-owner Sam Magdalein"
Did Sam Mary Magdalein?

Actually Dobie, I don't know how old you are but my grandfather was telling my mom to pull his finger before Al Gore was born.

i thought my daddy invented that phrase.
in the times of Elizabeth I, a courtier came to her court and he was presented to her. Sir Loin deBeuf gave a deep and flourishing bow to Gloriana and out came an extremely loud one...
he was soooo embarassed, he left England in self exile.
years later, he returned to his home and was again presented to her gracious majesty. as he began the bow; she said; "My lord. I had forgotten about thy fart".
so much for my public school education. all i remember are these little tidbits. :/
okay. i am leaving now

I have both on my iPhone and find that iFart is the superior application.
