Giant inflatable dog poo wreaks havoc
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 window before it landed again.
The art work, titled Complex Shit, is the size of a house.
The wind carried it 200m 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, Mr 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.
Mr Steiner said McCarthy had not yet been contacted and the museum was not sure if Complex Shit would be put back on display.

Hahaha.
I laughed out loud when I read that it landed in front of the Children's home. Ahh, that was priceless.

The inflatable turd broke the window at the children's home when it blew away on the night of July 31, Mr Steiner said. wow... broken shit...
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. Guess that shit didn't work.
Mr Steiner said McCarthy had not yet been contacted and the museum was not sure if Complex Shit would be put back on display. well, does Mr McCarthy want his shit on display again? for a Complex Shit, the wind sure made quick work of it.

They should have made giant inflatable flies to attach to the poop. Also an ice-cream stick wedged firmly in it to add to the realism.

modern art is just painting something that even the artist don't know what it is and saying it has some sort of symbolic value
