Security Guard Who Documented Farts Got Fired After Viral Fame

A couple days ago I posted the videos of a security guard who spent half a year documenting his very audible flatulence while on the clock.

The guard's name is Doug but he goes by Paul Flart on his Instagram, which is a reference to "Paul Blart: Mall Cop".

When someone posted a two-minute montage of his videos online, it blew up and he's Internet famous now. And fame comes with fallout: yesterday he live-streamed himself getting fired for it.

His boss at the hospital wasn't happy about all the attention. Especially because some of the videos show the hospital logo in the background. Technically, they fired him for using his phone too much at work. He didn't even try to argue, he just refused to stop live-streaming while they fired him.

But Doug's not sweating it. He says his plan now is to just "run with this" and see where it goes. He's already making "Paul Flart" merchandise.
