It’s been 22 years since Howard Stern’s alter ego Fartman ripped it up at the VMAs, but according to spokesman Adam Sure at the San Francisco Police Department, he made an appearance in California’s Napa Valley early Sunday morning, and it resulted in a 6.1 magnitude earthquake.
The rumbling from Howard Stern’s butt crack was pretty damn powerful, as it produced the largest earthquake to hit Northern California since the 1989 Loma Prieta quake that killed 63 people and injured more than 3,700.
While the CNN anchor came off sounding like an elementary school teacher scolding her students for making fake boogers out of Elmer’s Glue, you have to give her some credit for realizing what was going on right away and dropping the call before “Adam Sure” had a chance to insult her.
An anchor on MSNBC fell victim to the same hysterical prank last month while reporting on the Malaysia Airlines flight that was shot down over Ukraine. But after the caller told her it was likely shot down by a “blast of wind from Howard Stern’s ass,” she asked him to elaborate on what kind missile system he thought had been used, and that was enough to warrant the old, “Boy, you’re a dumbass, aren’t you?”
