I am so not making this up! This Swiss exhibit by an American features a collection of inflatable ca-ca.
And one big piece got loose in the wind. Imagine explaining that when you get home: honey, mom, dad (fill in the blanks), I'm late, we don't have power, I couldn't finish the project because...a giant piece of flying ca-ca messed everything up..
A Swiss museum is counting the cost of having crap art, after a giant inflatable dog turd the size of a house broke free from its moorings in high winds.
The massive poo, an artwork by American Paul McCarthy, left a trail of destruction in its wake as it blew away, bringing down a powerline before eventually landing on a nearby children's home, where it broke a window.
The installation, entitled Complex Sh*t, was supposed to have a safety system that deflated it in bad weather.
