EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass., Aug. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- If you thought that jokes about flatulence were a popular pastime of just teenage boys, think again. Adults, too, 35 percent of those recently surveyed, admit to liking a good joke about intestinal gas, though men still enjoy this more than women (44% vs. 28%). Regardless of whether you call them farts, toots or bombs, the maker of CharcoCaps(R) Homeopathic AntiGas Formula is encouraging you to submit your best original flatulence joke in its inaugural CharcoCaps Laughing Gas Contest.
If you have a great joke you might soon be crowned the first annual "CharcoCaps Whoopee Cushion Winner," winning a $1,000 pre-paid gas(oline) card and a supply of CharcoCaps antigas products.
The CharcoCaps Laughing Gas Contest is open to legal U.S. residents ages 18 or older through August 31, 2007. Jokes will be screened by a panel of judges who will choose the top five jokes; these jokes will then be posted online at http://www.charcocaps.com/ for Web site visitors to vote on their favorite joke. The person who submits the winning joke will be crowned the "CharcoCaps Whoopee Cushion Winner," and will receive the grand prize.
"While serious intestinal gas is not a laughing matter, we are hoping that this fun joke contest can help take some of the stigma away by making it more of an open topic," says Robert J. Wallace, vice president of sales and marketing at W.F. Young, Inc., maker of the CharcoCaps brand. "We are hoping to help make people aware that having gas is a normal part of life that we all have to deal with."
