The scary thing isn’t the giant poo, it’s the dog that left it.

A giant inflatable poo broke free from its exhibit at a modern art museum in Switzerland, flew across a field, wiped out a power line, and eventually plopped down near a children’s home.  The poo had an automatic safety device that was supposed to deflate it in the event of a storm, but it failed to operate.

The house-sized poo is actually a sculpture named "Complex Sh*t" by American artist Paul McCarthy.  The museum website described the art as "interweaving, diverse, not to say conflictive emphases and a broad spectrum of items to form a dynamic exchange of parallel and self-eclipsing spatial and temporal zones."  That’s a fancy way of saying poo!
