CURATOR: Wafting farts with ciabatta bread

POSTED: Wednesday, March 2, 2011, 6:00 PM

Every Wednesday, Critical Mass pokes around the blog world so you don't have to.

Phawker occasionally puts together a little compilation of news that they can't believe is being reported as news. Well this little tidbit sure isn't news, but god, is it entertaining. Since Twitter started being used by celebrities, athletes, and politicians, there have been fake profiles. Usually they're nothing to get excited about, just weird examples of normal Joes and Janes trying to live vicariously through their favorite celebs. Such is not the case with the fake Rahm Emanuel twitter profile. This fake tweeter has been making news for their downright clever, yet absurd tweets. There you'll find profanity sprinkled accounts of "misadventures" of Rahm, David Axelrod, and Carl the intern such as: "Picked up Carl the Intern at Lane Tech, after his mathletes practice. Carl's first words: "There's not much time left." Motherfuck." Perfect.

The Swollen Fox, a Philly music blog, has the latest from DIY venue The Ox. According to one attendee during the venue's annual Two-Piece Fest, "ten cops came to the Ox, ended two piece fest, and wrote down everyone's drivers license numbers." This was confirmed by one of the bands and then by The Ox, saying that they don't know the fate of their little venue. Shows scheduled for The Ox are currently being relocated. Poor Ox. Where's the love PPD?

If Craigslist has represented anything it's the weirdest and seediest aspects of American culture. No blog would be complete without bizarre Craigslist posts and Philebrity knows that. This one's a little tame, but still pretty damn funny as it is merely a man trying to track down a beautiful woman that farted near him in the bread section. You have to commend the effort of our 30-year-old Philly male, after trying to waft the fart away by "waving two loaves of ciabatta bread," most guys would give up. Not you sir, not you.
