WTF: Complex S–t

comments
There’s an American artist named Paul McCarthy who created this art piece called Complex S–t (except the S-word isn’t really blanked out) for an exhibit in Switzerland this past summer. What you see there in the photo is the piece – a series of inflatable turds that altogether are about the size of a house.
No wait, it gets better. So McCarthy’s art piece was tied down in the museum’s garden, but a wind kicked up and the turds broke free from their restraints. Fecal freedom! And then they FLEW across the city of Berne for about 200 yards (meters), eventually landing on the grounds of a children’s home, breaking one of its windows. The poop pieces also brought down some power lines along the way.
So 2 questions:
- The art piece itself, Complex S–t: Win, Toss, or Fail?
- The piece’s windy, havoc-wreaking trip across the city: Win, Toss, or Fail?
The article.

January 31, 20091. ROFL. Massive turd, i.e. fail.
2. For some reason, the “Stay-Puff Marshmallow” man from “Ghostbusters” came into my head after reading this. While the latter was win, this still remains a turd. Fail.
