Flying piece of art causes museum chaos in Switzerland
Aug 11 03:26 PM US/Eastern
A giant inflatable dog turd by American artist Paul McCarthy blew away from an exhibition in the garden of a Swiss museum, bringing down a power line and breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again, the museum said Monday.
The art work, titled "Complex S(expletive..)", is the size of a house. The wind carried it 200 metres (yards) from the Paul Klee Centre in Berne before it fell back to Earth in the grounds of a children's home, said museum director Juri Steiner.
The inflatable turd broke the window at the children's home when it blew away on the night of July 31, Steiner said. The art work has a safety system which normally makes it deflate when there is a storm, but this did not work when it blew away.
Steiner said McCarthy had not yet been contacted and the museum was not sure if the piece would be put back on display.

This one should be good.

I thought I saw Paul McCartney's name also. I knew his music had been steadily getting bad but this would have been the coup de gras.
Uh-Oh..here come the names...

I thought this thread was about Men's Gymnastics. Just taking a break from NBC's coverage until the Men's Gymnastics are over and Swimming starts.
They should consider discontinuing it and Men's figure skating, instead of Softball.

Men's gymnastics and figure skating? I love them both. I saw Brian Boitano in person once. Poetry in motion. Sheer poetry.
I'll admit the floor exercises in Men's Gymnastics are, well...sorry RR00 and 'tober...gay, but the other events are sheer athletics. Muscles and grit.
My favorite events are track and field. I just love the individual events. To me, Track and Field epitomizes the Olympics. That and synchronized swimming (Summer) and Curling (Winter).
:D:eek:;)

I wish you luck getting anybody out of this group (apart from the individuals you mentioned) to see it your way :D

Good thing, there wasn't a big fan around.
Hate to see it hit THAT.

I had always heard that it rolled down hill. Hell, I guess it floats down wind, too!
