Honestly you know our country is defintely in the economic-crapper if an “application” for the iPhone/iPod Touch called iFart Mobile (selling for 99-cents) is generating upwards of $10,000 a day for the developer.

Most interesting is that the developer of the app has been very transparent about his sales numbers during his app’s climb in ranking. From a previous blog post:

12/14 - 841 units - #76 overall
12/15 - 1510 units - #39 overall
12/16 - 1797 units - #22 overall
12/17 - 2836 units - #15 overall
12/18 - 3086 units - #10 overall
12/19 - 3117 units - #9 overall
12/20 - 5497 units, - #4 overall

He’s since revealed to us the most recent sales numbers for the last couple of days which includes the coveted #1 spot on the App Store’s Top 100 sales.

12/21 - 9760 units, #2 overall
12/22 - 13274 units, #1 overall

After Apple’s 30% cut, that means the iFart Mobile is generated $9198 in one day.

How in the hell can ANYONE come to a rational decision that purchasing a 99-cent application that makes a farting noise is a great purchase. Yes, I do see the humor in this application, but you know you can make those same exact noises (even with a little bonus mixed in if you are lucky) for free? You don’t even have to own a $300+ phone to do so.

Don’t blame the oil companies or the car makers … blame the f’ing consumers who make purchases like this!

PS: Now if this application would allow you to make another person’s phone “fart” remotely (lets say your annoying boss who is making you work all day on Christmas Eve even though he’s out at Hooters), then maybe, just maybe I could see someone making the purchase.
