Fashioning the Body: Versions of the Citizen, the Self, and the Subject

As a Whoopee Cushion I am here for your comedic enjoyment, a practical joke, an embarrassment inhibitor, I am your class clown.  Coincidently like most objects created my ban, I was an accident, but you know, I’ve come to terms with that!  Because of my existence I’ve brought about so many other gag toys such as the plastic vomit and fake poop, which is my personal favorite.  Such tricksters like ourselves enjoy creating laughs for children throughout the world, because of this luxury; we’ve been passed down there several generations to thousands of children.  This surprisingly has made me a very sociable object, like a VISA card commercial, you might consider the memories you make with me to be “priceless.”  I am one of a kind and because of my pure uniqueness, replication can only be satisfactory.  The laughter and smiles in which I create for all people, young and old will continue to spread silly immature humor to those around them.  Physical comedy of a bodily function is what I do best!  And no one can top that!
