The next Episode of ridiculous art.....now with Comedic Undertones!

Yes my readers, a giant poo disguised as art was carried 200 meters, leaving a trail of destruction, and breaking windows at a children's home. No I am not making this up....the actual headline you ask? Ok...

Inflatable feces raises a stink From BBC News:

A giant inflatable dog turd brought down a power line after being blown away from a Swiss museum.

The artwork, entitled Complex Shit, was carried 200 metres on the night of 31 July, reportedly breaking a greenhouse window before it landed again.

The sculpture, by American artist Paul McCarthy, was equipped with a safety system that should have deflated it.

The fake faeces has been returned and will remain on display at the Zentrum Paul Klee in Bern until October.

McCarthy is well known for his inflatable artworks, two of which - Blockhead and Daddies Bighead - were displayed outside the Tate Modern in London in 2003.

The Zentrum Paul Klee, which opened in 2005, houses a collection of about 4,000 works by the noted Swiss painter.
