Watch the video report.
No laughing, it's serious.

I guess I would be breaking the law three times today if I were in Malawi...

I wonder how they will deal with SBV's.

 

[zedextreme8177]

They'll probably have to install these to detect if anyone farts

 

[deadcell96]

I can't believe they forgot loud and proud.

 

[Pescara for GT5]

About damn time.

 

[Jim Prower]

um...just did. Good thing I"m where I am.

It's hard to detect something like that, though, since, well...people fart tens to hundreds of times a day.

 

[Crash]

On the other hand, if they simply fine someone instead of throwing them in jail, this may be a brilliant idea to help get the Malawi government out of any debt. Think of it as a new tax, one that stinks, literally!

 

[Peter3759]

Say what? No beans for Malawi.

I guess that means no more cheese and citrus fundraisers, get it? The fart tax would be a brilliant way to pay off debt. I could see putting noise cancelling material in their pants to supress the noise made when they fart, then they'll get away with it. Them REBELS!

I'm totally cool with this law, but only if enforced on airplanes. Or at least, a loss of frequent-flier mileage.

 

[SRV2LOW4ME]

I think I'd be sent to death row after the gas I had at work last night.

 

[Skython]

I'd be broke if I lived in Malawi now

 

[turbolefty78]

"And some are like tear gas, they just go "shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"."

 

[F1 fan]

This is ridiculous. I suppose next they'll outlaw coughing and sneezing.

I've heard some ridiculous laws in my time on this earth, but this is idiotic. Moronic.

P.S, I haven't watched the video as my computer's being a pain and wouldn't load it so if this is some joke, I must be looking pretty stupid right now.

 

[blaaah]

The video is not a joke but is quite funny.

 

[Crumpet]

I'd break the law way to much if I lived there, especially after breakfast

 

[Thatman]

But People may spontaneously com-bust!!!

 

[NissanSkylineN1]

My buddy farted in Malawi a while ago, now I'm waiting for the INTERPOL to show up at his house.

 

[itsbenjibrand]

Thatman, nice reference to South Park. I still don't understand how they enforce this law.
