Some people suffer for art.

Two killed as artwork 'lifts off'

Two people have been killed and 12 injured after a giant, inflatable sculpture blew free from its moorings in the north-east of England.

Many were inside the artwork, which consists of connected rooms, when it lifted 30ft into the air at Riverside Park, Chester-le-Street, County Durham.

A 38-year-old woman from the town and a 68-year-old woman from Seaham died.

A three-year-old girl was airlifted to hospital after the accident, which happened on Sunday afternoon.

Is there anything more dense than a British woman?

I doubt it.

That's so retarded that it made my brain cry.

"It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so, and will follow it by suppressing opposition, subverting all education to seize early the minds of the young, and by killing, locking up, or driving underground all heretics." - Robert A. Heinlein

That suddenly made me think of Micheal Moore.

Hurray propoganda! eh?

Ok. So the killing part worked. I'm not sure if putting people in an inflatable piece of art qualifies as "locking up", but I'll take it. The only part they reallty got wrong was the "driving underground". Unless you count tossing them up in the air in the inflatable thingie and just a prelude to maybe driving them into the ground?

Or did you mean something else? ;)

When did anything inflatable become a work of art? Must be the lack of culture overseas I guess.
