‘Pull my Finger’ for iPhone, iPod touch triumphantly returns to Apple’s iTunes App Store

Saturday, December 13, 2008 - 11:12 AM EST

The one, the only, the original Pull My Finger app has returned to Apple's iTunes Store.

Developer Air-O-Matic explains:

Hundreds of thousands of people viewed the demo:

Thousands cried out for its availability in the app store. Petitions were formed. Candles were lit. And now, Apple has returned Pull My Finger to the App Store!

Throughout the annuls of time, man (and woman, but mostly man) has used this noisome pestilence to cause laughter, shock, and awe to those in their immediate surroundings. Advances in technology brought new ways to deliver the package. The hand under the armpit was good, but the invention of rubber brought the whoopee cushion, and new heights were reached. Then came the electronic version, and the whoopee cushion was no more. However, we asked ourselves over and over, why must I always carry a phone, iPod, AND electric fart machine? Can’t something be done to converge these oft carried items?

Today, friend, innovation has struck again. Now you can have your choice of sounds with you always, waiting and ready for when the perfect moment arrives. Tap a character’s finger, and it plays a unique sound. Some people say this is no big whoopee, but we think it’s a work o fart.

Some of the features include:

- 18 high quality sounds
- 18 unique, well-designed cartoon characters
- Random Mode for when you want a nice surprise
- Chorus Mode to play a continuous loop
- Vibrates for realism!

Pull My FInger costs US$0.99 and is available via iTunes here.

a lot of hot air if you ask me

Now every time I see Apple's share price decrease on my iPhone, I am going to go directly to Pull My Finger and let Wall Street know what I think.

Flatulence Reigns!!!
Can't wait to try this in church....

Dec 13, 08 - 12:06 pm Comment from: HMCIV

A fart application? How immature. Only amateurs need to fake it!

Dec 13, 08 - 12:07 pm Comment from: Wingsy

Now if Apple would only approve iCall. It's been in limbo since October.

As soon as they do, my landline is history.

Slither further into the gutter. Un-Holywood will love it.

Stupid. Really..........no way I'd pay for that.

Dec 13, 08 - 01:13 pm Comment from: Morganstein

Ya'll folks can pull my finger anytime and get a vibrating fart with additional smell...all for free. No iPhone needed...no app to petition for.
Surely Steve and Phil and the guys emanciate their leather chairs in the boardroom, especially with all those green vegetables Steve eats. Glad they now developed a sense of humor. This is a million dollar app. Bathroom humor spreads across the planet.

Dec 13, 08 - 01:18 pm Comment from: i want my iTele

These sounds are very similar to what I hear when I'm on my iTele.

"18 high quality sounds"

Define quality.

Belongs on a Zune.

Farting iPhone app, cool.

Too bad it uses AT and T.

It's the time of the year that AT and T delivers it's phone books to your house for the new year.

Worked on the delivery team, just for a day, just for a learning experience and to earn a little holiday cash.

It only pays about $2 a hour, to deliver phone books to people's doorsteps. You provide the vehicle, you pay the gas. Your a independant contractor.

Of course everyone winds up placing them near or on the mailboxes, which is a Federal Offense, or tosses them in the yard etc.

If you deliver like your supposed too, you realize a net loss and severe wear and tear on your vehicle.

If you cheap and don't get caught, and have a helper, you can make $1 a hour on average.

AT and T purposely creates a seperate corporation using it's own employees to shield itself. Makes you sign a contract with this corporation saying your responsible for fines of $300 per violation.

This is AT and T, corporate criminality in it's finest.

Did the program duplicate functions already designed by Apple.

It must be in version 2.3.

Dec 13, 08 - 02:02 pm Comment from: Savage

It stinks.

Dec 13, 08 - 03:18 pm Comment from: Jubei

I'll buy that for a dollar.

Ah, the noisome clamor of the crowd...

Dec 13, 08 - 03:56 pm Comment from: Richard

What a waste of human creativity and time. We have real problems in this world. Lets work to fix them rather than be distracted with such wastes of time.

I've wasted too much time even commenting on it.

Dec 13, 08 - 04:28 pm Comment from: Sarah

Does it do a moose fart?

Dec 13, 08 - 04:30 pm Comment from: @Richard

Thanks for making me waste my time reading your comment!

Dec 13, 08 - 04:49 pm Comment from: Brau

It needs accelerometer based modulation: shake it to make the farts flutter.

Dec 13, 08 - 05:32 pm Comment from: @Richard

OK I'll bite....

Just which world problem do you think the guy who developed this should be working on..??

Dec 13, 08 - 05:44 pm Comment from: WriterGuy

@ @Richard -

The answer is obvious -
He should be working to fix global warming caused by too many people (and cows) generating methane via organic methods...

Dec 13, 08 - 05:45 pm Comment from: @@Richard

World problem: Natural gas development. How to put it to better use to solve our energy needs.

Dec 13, 08 - 06:11 pm Comment from: BiZarRo BaLlmEr

Stock went up.

Dec 13, 08 - 09:26 pm Comment from: jds4300

Great! Just what the App Store needed, MORE WORTHLESS APPS! The App Store should be rebranded the Crap Store!

Dec 13, 08 - 11:29 pm Comment from: Larry

Lame. Immature. Juvenile indeed.

Dec 14, 08 - 03:14 am Comment from: Dumb Ass

And you have to ask, Why it was removed? Even more fascinating: Why did it re-surface?

Dec 14, 08 - 06:54 am Comment from: Shiroi iBook

I want Terrence and Phillips

Pull my Finger is ok, but iFart Mobile is far superior.

This app was in review with apple just as long as the other, but has many more features.

Check out the security fart and sneak attack features!

A Talking Moose fart would be great... or just a Talking Moose
