iFart (the Company) for Sale on eBay

Can you put a price on memories–memories like “Howard the Duck,” “The Bubbler,” and “Jack the Ripper?” How does $1 million sound? That’s the going price of iFart Mobile, the developer behind the eponymous app that set the mobile world on fire–or at least gave it a slow, burning sensation in the seat of its collective pants.

iFart’s owner has apparently put the company up for sale on eBay. There’s currently one bid for $1,000 (reserve not met) on the auction, which ends nine days from now. The app, of course, became one of the iPhone’s best sellers, after launching in December 2008–no doubt to the chagrin of Steve Jobs. iFart rocketed to the top of the sales chart, manging to sell 40,000 downloads in a single day.
The page reads like a shrine to iFart, with video of TV appearances on The Today Show and The Daily Show and photos of celebrities like Demi Moore, David Ducovny, and Helena Bonham Carter, who are all apparently all big fans of the farting app.
So, why would someone sell such an amazing, world changing product? That question is, thankfully, answered in the “Why Am I Selling iFart Mobile” section,

I speak internationally and domestically to Fortune 500
corporations and small businesses alike. As creator of iFart, I have leveraged
this simple novelty app into worldwide fame. The app has been featured in The
New York Times Sunday Magazine, Wired Magazine, Gizmodo, Techcrunch, Mashable, The
Washington Post, CNN/Money and a host of papers, blogs and media outlets around
the globe. However, I am now focusing on my latest agency offering,
IMDirect.com, and it is time to pass the baton to someone who wishes to own
iFart and take it to the next level.

Just imagine. That someone could be you.
