There Is No Way We Can Make ‘Giant Inflatable Poo Breaks Orphanage Window’ Into A Funny Headline

Sometimes, like maybe once a decade or so, a story comes along that is so perfectly ridiculous there’s nothing you can do to improve it or even make yourself look funny in the reporting – no puns, no witty double entendres, no sparkling repartee that you can add. In short, the story has written itself. Today is one of those rare days:

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 greenhouse window before it landed again, the museum has said.

The art work, titled “Complex S**t”, is the size of a house.

The wind carried it 200 metres 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, Steiner said.
