GIANT DOG TURD wreaks havoc at Swiss museum

A giant inflatable dog turd, yes, a giant dog turd by American artist Paul McCarthy was exhibited in the garden of the Paul Klee Center, a Swiss museum in Bern.  In 2008, the giant turd actually blew away from the museum, brought down a power line and broke a greenhouse window before it landed again.  
The art work titled "Complex Shit" is the size of a house. The wind carried it 200 yards from the museum before it fell back to Earth. 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.
