File this under “you couldn’t make this crap (pun intended) up”. American artist Paul McCarthy created a giant inflatable dog turd called Complex Shit. It is supposed to deflate in bad weather but the failsafe program failed and the turd tore loose from its moorings and blew threw a Swiss town, knocking out a window in a children’s home before coming to rest.

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's
The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas'
Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase
Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!

Oops.
I think that’s poops!
Somebody did make this sh*t up. I don’t believe it.
Crap. That stinks.
:o)
This shit really blows.
That’s some scary shit, Jane.
well, poo. That really stinks.
But is it f… art?
Question is: were the children entertained by this strange sight or traumatized for life….or will this simply give new meaning to their potty training?
What I wanna know is this…. why would move somebody to create a giant dog turd?
Did he get a grant for this?
There’s one big dog running around in that neighborhood.
If there was a giant windmill nearby, the shit would have really hit the fan.
As Princess Anne would say, ‘oh, faeces’ :)
The comments here make complex shit hilarious.
Oh well, I guess complex shit happens…

I’d give anything to see that thing flown behind Snoopy at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
