I thought of a good ad campaign. It features people in situations
where a smelly fart would really ******** things up. Like a first
date, or being introduced to the president of the company, or many
other occasions. You do the set up, then comes the fart noise, then
the looks of grossed outedness on the faces, then the jingle, "Aw-oh,
he shoulda used Beano."
Kind of like those Southwest commercials, "Want to get away?"

Thing is, most stations would refuse to run a commercial with a fart
noise.
