Sorry, Joe, but you are mistaken.

We've been talking about a contest for iFart since the app launched.

And my tweet announcing this preceeds your press release by two days.

iFart Mobile is back with the “iFartmercial” contest

Venture Beat — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 17:26:39 -0500

iFart Mobile, the iPhone farting application that took the world by storm over the holidays, has launched a competition for users to create the best commercial for the app. The winner will get $5,000 for creating the best 30 to 60 second “iFartmercial.” This could get interesting.

Developer Joel Comm, the guy behind iFart Mobile, clearly has the cash to launch such a contest. His application first made headlines after he published that it was pulling in about $10,000 a day. But on Christmas Day downloads exploded even further, netting him nearly $30,000 for the one day. The app stayed at the top of the App Store paid apps list for three weeks.

Entries, which are to be submitted to YouTube, will be judged on criteria such as creativity, social media buzz, YouTube ratings and views, blog views and other factors. Basically, it’s a promotion to ensure that iFart Mobile maintains its buzz, which so many apps in the App Store lose shortly after they launch. iFart Mobile is still the number four paid app in the store, and Comm says it’s had over 300,000 downloads since it launched in December.

Find the rest of the details here. And find the commercial that the iFart Mobile team made for itself below. As for the app itself, if you still haven’t gotten it for $0.99, you can do that here.
