I suppose they came up with this idea to increase the popularity/name recognition of their organization that seems to have worthwhile goals and intentions. But it could rather be a great way to tarnish your reputation for years to come with juvenile, petty behaviour. Do sponsors want to get associated with the "World's largest fart in"? Are the people who might have been engaged for this cause for decades ok to see their work associated with this?
