BURPING CAN HEAL THE WORLD

BURPING CAN HEAL THE WORLD



LOS ANGELES (Wireless Flash) – A Los Angeles housewife is hoping to heal the world by getting everyone to make a racket at the same moment. Roberta Raye is asking the whole world to make “joyful noise” for one minute on November 23, at exactly 5 p.m. ET (10 p.m. GMT). She says “joyful noise” is any sound that gives the person making it pleasure and, in her ears, that’s anything from a squealy-guitar solo by a metalhead to a marathon burp by a 12-year-old to a baby banging on pots and pans. Even farting or bottle breaking is allowed as long as it gives you pleasure. Raye believes all the banging will harmonize and help everyone feel connected for one moment. She admits her idea sounds “airy-fairy” but thinks it might help the terrorists “shake off their terror.”
