If anyone is curious it is using this: https://theonion.github.io/fartscroll.js/

But why? The page has lost all credibility.

I have no idea why they have chosen to use that.

Because it's funny.

I didn't even get that far! I was curious about the font being used (turns out it's Lato) so I right clicked to examine an element and boy did that fart scare me something awful!

Looks like aside from fartscroll they also tried to add a konami code. I couldn't trigger it though.

I honestly thought I was going crazy for a few minutes.
