Approximately 200-400 years ago during Japan’s Edo period, an unknown artist created what is easily the most profound demonstration of human aesthetics ever committed to parchment. I am referring to He-Gassen a.k.a. 屁合戦 a.k.a. “the fart war.” In this centuries-old scroll, women and men blow each other off the page with typhoon-like flatulence. Toss this in the face of any philistine who claims that art history is boring.

Ancient Japanese art is a gas – but my hoax-alert antennae are twitching with the reference to “He-Gassen” even though I found another source here. [Found here, h/t Princess Natasha.]

And like a fart in the wind, we’re cranking out an early Saturday edition of
The Overnight Open Thread.

AlfonZo Rachel is a social / political humorist featured on PJTV with his video commentary, ZoNation. He started gaining an audience on MySpace TV in 2007 and then in 2008 his audience got much bigger for his rapid fire right wing rants when he uploaded them on YouTube.

Spotted this via Twitter today. If you haven’t already seen it, see it now, on
The Overnight Open Thread.
