Sometimes you feel like Mother Nature is trying to tell you something, but you never expected the message to be, "Hey, pull my finger!"

Oddly enough, the correlation between fracking and farting makes a lot of sense. Alternative energy company Ecotricity promises frack-free, clean forms of energy, and encourages consumers to reject fracked gas. The small British company decided to take a strong stand against the controversial process of fracking with this unexpectedly humorous PSA.

Fracking is the process of breaking underground rock in order to allow gas to escape and be collected for power. In other words, maybe the Earth should excuse itself.

There are many harmful side effects of fracking, including the intermittent explosions of gas towers, which are highlighted in the video. While many other anti-fracking PSA's out there focus on the environmental impact of fracking, there's really nothing better than making a good fart joke to get a message across.
