DNC Protesters Fear 'Crap Cannon'

Windbreaking News: Fox News.com is reporting that Denver activists planning protests at the Democratic National Convention are concerned about police unleashing a "crap cannon" on them. The crap cannon is also called "the brown note". According to Fox "it is believed to be an infrasound frequency that debilitates a person by making them defecate involuntarily."

Mark Cohen of a Denver protest group called Re-create '68 said, "We know this weapon and weapons like it have been used at other large protests before." He says the weapon is uses inaudible frequencies to disrupt people's equilibrium. The theory is that the brown note weapon comes from military developers looking for non-lethal alternatives to conventional weapons. For example, there was a report last year of a so-called "gay bomb" the military may or may not have tried to develop.

Fox cited the popular Discovery Channel TV show Mythbusters' 2004 test to poo poo the brown note. The show concluded that there is no evidence any frequency can cause people to crap themselves. In an episode from season three of South Park, the children tried to find the mystical tone with more success (clip).

In April, Democracy Now's Amy Goodman spoke to Cohen about Recreate '68.
