Political protests have taken on hundreds of forms over the years, but this might be the first planned fart-in.
Cheri Honkala, the leader of the Poor Peoples Economic Human Rights Campaign, told Truthdig that her group plans to host the worlds largest fart-in on July 28 at the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
Honkala said she will host a massive bean supper, deemed Beans for Hillary, for Bernie Sanders delegates before Hillary Clintons speech to accept the presidential nomination.
The Sanders delegates, their bellies full of beans, will be able to return to the Wells Fargo Center and greet the rhetorical flatulence of Hillary Clinton with the real thing, Honkala said.
Honkala said she plans to invite Sen. Sanders himself to the bean supper, and she asks people send donations of beans to 1301-W Porter Street, Philadelphia, PA 19148. The remaining cans of beans will be donated to the homeless.

(35,015 posts)I think Honkala's stunt may be attractive to some, but seriously - it's offensive the journalist who wrote this doesn't press her for the number of people who will attend her bean dinner.
Just saying "Sanders supporters" is obviously meant to stir controversy.

DO be careful out there, folks.
