The other day on “The View,” while interviewing Claire Danes about whatever the hell Claire Danes is up to, Whoopi Goldberg farted on live television. In a post that I refuse to link to out of principle, titled “Whoopi Goldberg Rips LOUD Fart On ‘The View,’” TMZ handled the situation with the quiet grace they’ve become known for:
Whoopi “Cushion” Goldberg strikes again — tearing ass this morning on “The View” so loudly … she nearly put a hole in her seat.
[bangs head on desk]
You know what? No. I’m not talking about this. I know as a TV blogger I’m supposed to talk about funny, newsworthy stories, but… I have a LAW DEGREE. I passed the bar exam. I mean, I’ll cover stories about those dopes on “Jersey Shore,” and I’ll occasionally post about the Kardashians, but there is no way — NO WAY — I’m discussing the merits of a story by the jamooks at TMZ about Whoopi Goldberg farting on television. Not today at least. I don’t have it in me. Instead, here is a video of a penguin fetching the newspaper.
Have a blessed day.

Really? I thought you would’ve invoked the precedent of Smelt It v. Dealt It.
If it smells like shit you must acquit!
Admit it. You’re just jealous you didn’t think of that headline first.
I mean “If it does not smell like shit”, derp
I want that penguin.
I know penguins smell like dead fish, but OMG SO CUTE WANT TO HUG IT.
When you said a penguin fetching a paper, I figured it was gonna be Ted Danson in blackface wearing a tux.

Danger being a lawyer is the new Matt being a Marine.
Pfft, Matt would have talked about Whoopie Goldberg’s farts.
Danger being a lawyer is the new Matt being a Marine.
Yeah, but DG will likely have some thrilling stories about the intricacies of contract law, while all Matt ever gave us were those yawners about tank platoons in Iraq. Booooooooorrrrrrrriiing!
You don’t have to be smart to laugh at farts, but you have to be stupid not to.
Where did I read that?
@bobloblaw, that was Louis C.K. talking to Jon Stewart.
A few things:
1) Farts are hilarious. Always have been, always will be. My protest was about TMZ’s dipshit coverage of it.
2) If I ever tried to talk to you about contract law, the post would just be a mishmash of jumbled letters because I would fall asleep on my keyboard.
3) I’ve told you guys I went to law school, right? Because I did. Go to law school, I mean. Just wanted to make sure you knew.
XOXO
