I got to see Joel Comm at the o2 arena in london late 2009 where he showed us the ifart app live on stage and the whole arena was in histerics. Can you imagine it, over 7,000 people wetting themselves with laughter, it was awesome.
He also went on to show us all the sort of income possibilities from creating iphone apps and the figures can be staggering. Fun apps tend to sell the most and ifart is evidence of that when it made $27,000 in one day on the app store alone. http://www.simon-templeton.co.uk

Wow, it seems obvious that every single person commenting here against this article and threatening to unsubscribe from TUAW is or is working for a developer of fart apps.
I think Fart apps are fine and have all the right to be in the store. It is just that Joel guy from iFart who was being really irritating on Twitter, because he doesn't admit that his app is a pile of tosh. He is one of these marketing clowns who think they can use "social media" to further their aims.
Please keep selling your apps, whatever, but stop pretending that you are doing humanity a service by creating great entertainment.
Look, one of my apps is called iStrip (http://rockcottageindustries.com/novelty-app/) and we fought long and hard for it to get into the app store. It is free, but still many people send us very hateful email, mostly because they are disappointed and embarrassed that there is no real porn in it. I don't claim that it is particularly great, but I think it is good for a laugh, so do many other people. It is certainly a million times better than the cheap immitations that have now launched, Novelty Pen and iVanish. Are we planning to sue them and make a big fuss about it? No. Are you kidding. Live and let live. iStrip is already in the Top 10 free apps in some countries. I don't see them anywhere.

I can vouch for getting twitter spammed by the iFart guys after I mentioned buying Pull My Finger.

Wow, the hate for fart apps is really weird here. I've enjoyed TUAW for a long time and I'm surprised to see such vehemence towards what is obviously just a gag genre of software for a computer/phone. Where is all this high minded hate coming from? It's just a humor app, some like it, some don't. How does a fart app hurt anything???

A more startling revelation here is that iPhone app devs need to be very careful about what they submit to the app store. Because of the popularity of the platform, the developer of an app can easily be targeted for legal reprisals should it take off like iFart. It makes me not want to ever develop anything for the iPhone just for safety's sake. What if I have a simple idea like iFart? Should I hire a legal team before submitting it? This is horrible for indy developers. Was Shareware and Freeware development ever like this vicious environment?

Didn't apple step in to help out a "big name game developing company" awhile back by having an app pulled that somewhat copied the game of the "Big name" developer?

Now they will not step in to help out the little guy? Even if it means cleaning out the 30 some odd farting apps from the store.

But is say EA made a far app.......

I hate a fart app as much as the next person, but, if apple is going to play mediator for one company they should do it for all or not do it at all.

TUAW is garbage now... as i click unscribe

its crap

and old...

eww to tuaw

I guess that's how it breaks - developers like these try to pass these apps as something solid when they're nothing more than a lot of hot air, and end up airing their soiled linen in court. As a developer, I would not want to match their exploits less it cause an even bigger explosion.

At least the air will be cleared between the two of them; unfortunately, it's due to the legal system.

(Actually, this court proceeding sounds like it would make a bad episode of "Boston Legal".)

BORING!
