Activists hack online text-based applications, replacing the word ‘Trump’ with ‘Fart’


The internet was briefly plunged into chaos earlier today after an anonymous group of activists successfully hacked online text-based applications worldwide, causing every instance of the word ‘Trump’ to be automatically replaced with the word ‘Fart’. The edit came with an added flourish: a thunderous farting sound blasting from phones, laptops, e-readers, and even office printers.


The hack spared no one - social media posts, news articles, legal briefs and even children’s homework erupted in synchronized flatulence. Across the world, buses, trains, shopping malls and even libraries reverberated with a chorus of loud, wet fart noises, which sounded as if they had been recorded during a gastrointestinal emergency.


The situation reached DEFCON brown when President Trump attempted to condemn the hack via his platform, Truth Social. Instead of a stern rebuke, his followers were greeted with a post which read: “Fart, fart, FART, fart, FAKE NEWS, fart, fart, BIGLY FART,” each word accompanied by the deafening sound of explosive diarrhoea, which reportedly caused several phones to vibrate off tables. Supporters described Trump’s post as ‘surprising, but on-brand’.


The activists later issued a statement explaining that the stunt was designed to ‘illustrate, in the simplest possible terms, that President Trump talks out of his anus and is full of crap’. Many political commentators praised the group for ‘effectively matching tone to content’.

Although cybersecurity experts quickly fixed the breach and restored the word ‘Trump’ to its less flatulent spelling, critics argue that the damage lingers. “The hack is gone,” one observer said, “but Trump’s words still carry a persistent whiff of bullshit.”
