Sometimes the news just writes itself. Let's take a trip back in time to the early days of the iTunes App Store. Cube Runner was our favorite racing game, I Am Rich was scamming iPhone owners out of $999.99 and an app entitled Pull My Finger was denied access to the store for, well, being a fart app.

Of course we all remember where we were when we learned that Apple was allowing fart apps in the iTunes App store. Finally, junior-high kids with access to technology could appease their hankering for flatulence. Huzzah!

But all is not well in Fart Town. Pull My Finger got some stiff competition from iFart, another fart app. Turns out, the Pull My finger folks took offense at the iFart guy for his blitzkrieg of PR surrounding the launch of iFart. They didn't think it was cool when he started sending Tweets to anyone he could find that discussed Pull My Finger via Twitter stating that if they liked Pull My Finger, they would love iFart.

Did we mention that the owner of iFart, Joel Comm, is a self-described "Social Media Expert." So you know he's all about the Facebook, Twitter and PR blast. He's even got a reality show called, The Next Internet Millionaire. We were going to watch it, but we got distracted by something shiny. Oh, and he posted a review of iFart on his app page, that he wrote. Classy!

Air-O-Matic, makers of Pull My Finger got mad at Joel's marketing practices and sent Joel a letter stating that he should pay them $50,000 for damages because of his marketing tactics. Because we've all know that money makes everything better, especially other people's money. Well, that made Joel angry and he filed a Complaint for Declaratory Judgment that the phrase "pull my finger" is a common one.

Both sides of the argument have postings on their sites explaining their side of the story. It seems that Joel thinks he's been fair throughout the ordeal and it's a case of sour grapes. While Air-O-Matic seems to think that they've been wronged by Joel's use of the term "pull my finger" and his aggressive marketing.

We're just happy to see a app store throw down that doesn't involve anything actually useful. Imagine what would happen if the cowbell people started a feud. Now that would be horrible.
