While the artistic merits of a giant, inflatable piece of crap can certainly be debated, sometimes it really hits the fan. And when that happens, it goes flying.
A Swiss museum was recently the victim of an unexpected high wind, which pulled the excrement sculpture, " (http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=260985&in_page_id=2)Complex Sh*t" (http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=260985&in_page_id=2) from artist Paul McCarthy, off of its moorings (http://www.metro.co.uk/weird/article.html?in_article_id=260985&in_page_id=2).
The house-sized dookie left a path of destruction behind it, taking down a power line and eventually landing on a children's home. The inflatable sculpture was supposed to have a system (non-septic) that would deflate it in bad weather, but gusts caught it before the safety device could be activated.
The sculpture has been returned to the museum, though it's unclear whether "Complex Sh*t" will be returned to the exhibit or curbed.
