The government of Malawi is planning to make breaking wind a criminal offence.

" Breaking wind is set to be made a crime in an African country. "

The bizarre new law will see citizens being punished for "fouling the air" in public however there has been a great deal of criticism based around the difficulty in determining who is guilty in any given situation. "My goodness. What happens in a public place where a group is gathered. Do they lock up half a minibus?" asked one concerned citizen.
