‘The fart was real’

The stink surrounding SBS’s Struggle Street took another twist today, with claims a fart noise in the promo had been dropped in in post production.

WSFM’s Jonesy & Amanda this morning heard from audio producer David Post who claimed the fart sound featured in the promo, was in fact the sound effect ‘Track 89: Medium Fart, Close Perspective’ from everyone’s favourite sound effects CD ‘Hollywood Edge, Disc 13’.

As the ever fragrant Amanda Keller points out, if the flatulence was added into the promo it would backfire on the whole project, calling the integrity of the documentary into question.
