Jennifer Lawrence Farts, Nation Proud

Congratulations propagated through the art world today as Jennifer Lawrence, best known for her flawless, medically anomalous skin and hair composition, gave an impromptu and inadvertent performance on the Late Show. Sources report that the celebrated singer, in the midst of answering a question about an award she won for saving minority orphan puppies with her math skills, farted noticeably and audibly for several seconds. There was a momentary hush from the studio audience, as the world seemed to silently draw in closer to listen. Gradually, a triumphant expression of joy began to emanate from all directions, seemingly encapsulating the universe in rapturous applause. The cheeks of all present were streaked with tears of joy, and a sense of quiet love enveloped their souls.

This illustrious passing of gas has been described as “visionary,” “life-affirming,” and “fragrant.” It has been compared to the Mona Lisa, sliced bread, and oxygen, yet so far nothing has been able to measure up. One spellbound viewer described the incident: “There was an inborn spark of life and warmth, reminiscent of the sublime mystery and beauty of creation. Its vibrations resounded through my chest and filled my heart with peace.” She trailed off and smiled to herself as her mind drifted back to the singular moment, evoking the perfect innocence of childhood. “It smelled like Indian food,” she added in awe.

And what Indian food it was. Already, renowned perfume designer Olivier Creed has announced his intention to create a line of fragrances inspired by the incredible incident. The Louvre has announced its intentions to add the fart to its permanent archives, stating that “despite the difficulty of archiving and displaying work in this medium, we feel it is our duty to share and preserve this work of art for the general betterment of humanity.” Video rights to the occasion were immediately purchased by Warner Brothers, who announced that a major motion picture starring a recent Oscar winner will be released “sometime in 2019.”

The sound clip is currently being analyzed by a crack team of spellbound scientists and mathematicians, who believe it may be the first recorded occurrence of perfect harmonic oscillation. Research is still ongoing, however the audio file, when decrypted using the sparkle in Lawrence’s eye, appears to constitute a complete proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. Unfortunately, the divine prophetess and distinguished pâtisserie has already been awarded the Fields Medal for her performance in Silver Linings Playbook, and it would appear petty regulation prohibits her winning it again.
