That is too strange for words. Does anyone have a recipe for giant pink rabbit stew?

WTF?

That's what passes for art these days? What an eye-sore.

I love the giant pink bunny. I think every country should erect one. We can wire them all up, and if we ever have another World War we just have to zap them, bring them to life, and watch them battle in our cities Godzilla style.

I don't know about you guys, but this group can never compete with Christo and his wife, Jeanne-Claude for stupid art projects.

From their own site (http://www.christojeanneclaude.net/).
On May 7, 1983 the installation of Surrounded Islands was completed. In Biscayne Bay, between the city of Miami, North Miami, the Village of Miami Shores and Miami Beach, 11 of the islands situated in the area of Bakers Haulover Cut, Broad Causeway, 79th Street Causeway, Julia Tuttle Causeway, and Venetian Causeway were surrounded with 603,850 square meters (6.5 million square feet) of pink woven polypropylene fabric covering the surface of the water, floating and extending out 61 meters (200 feet) from each island into the Bay. The fabric was sewn into 79 patterns to follow the contours of the 11 islands.

For 2 weeks Surrounded Islands spreading over 11.3 kilometers (7 miles) was seen, approached and enjoyed by the public, from the causeways, the land, the water and the air. The luminous pink color of the shiny fabric was in harmony with the tropical vegetation of the uninhabited verdant island, the light of the Miami sky and the colors of the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay.

Two weeks and they used "603,850 square meters (6.5 million square feet) of pink woven polypropylene fabric". That fabric isn't cheap but who cares, rich snooty people don't mind wasting their money for a useless art project lasting two weeks.

One good thing The marine and land crews picked up debris from the eleven islands, putting refuse in bags and carting it away after they had removed some forty tons of varied garbage: refrigerator doors, tires,kitchen sinks, mattresses and an abandoned boat.

Didn't they do the Eiffel Tower and the arches through Central Park in New York?
