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.

You may color me disappointed.
You mean it wasn’t a giant inflatable Pope Benedict being crushed by a giant inflatable dog do? Just a giant inflatable dog do? Not a giant inflatable dog do festooned with Madonna & child icons?
Oh pooh!

That is art? It isn’t even a realistic likeness. You know, I really wonder how much money we could make doing the most ridiculous things. If your common sense says “no”, it’s a guaranteed hit. lol
