Giant Flying Dog Turd Causes Problems, Somewhat Predictably

'A giant inflatable dog turd created by the American artist Paul McCarthy was blown from its moorings at a Swiss museum, bringing down a power line and breaking a window before landing in the grounds of a children's home.
The exhibit, entitled Complex Shit, is the size of a house. It has a safety system that is supposed to deflate it in bad weather, but it did not work on this occasion.
Juri Steiner, the director of the Paul Klee centre, in Berne, told AFP that a sudden gust of wind carried it 200 metres before it fell to the ground, breaking a window of the children's home. The accident happened on July 31, but the details only emerged yesterday.'

That would be great at BM. Get it? BM?
It looks like one of those big inflatable bouncy things they have at parties for little kids. I can see it being a huge hit at BM. Get it? BM? It gets funnier each time I write it. |

I hope the artist thought ahead and built a giant, blow-up pooper-scooper.

i sometimes think about how these poor chinese factory workers who make novelty items must feel...molding plastic dog poop and airbrushing it all day to send to america, and i think Paul McCarthy knows that feeling.

I've always wondered what happens when you flush the toilet on an airplane. I believe Newt Gingrich was riding on Air Force One when this was dumped......

so many great, unknown artists in the world, and this piece of encased flatulence is what gets displayed at a Swiss museum...
