You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™
How much a man paid for a pile of crap.
DATELINE: CHINA
According to published reports, An art collector paid $45,000 for a replica of the famed Venus DE Milo statue.
Was it made of marble? Concrete? Gold?
Nope.
This Venus De Milo was made of Panda Dung.
That’s right. Panda Dung. Cute, cuddly bear scat.
Most of us would see it and go, YUK. Panda Poop.
But a Swiss art collector who specializes in Chinese art looked at the same panda waste product you wouldn’t want on your shoe and he began to reach for his wallet.
It all started when children from the southwestern province of Sichuan, the home of China’s beloved giant panda, made the unusual statue with the help of famous sculptor Zhu Cheng.
First of all who let’s their kids play with animal poop?
“Wong! Wang! Susie! Drop that Panda Poo and come inside for dinner. And make sure you wash your hands.”
It’s repulsive and hard to believe that it became an art project.
Harder to believe is that any artist would work in a medium of feces? Disgusting.
While making a statue out of poop is insane. Paying $45,000 dollars for it surely lets you know that this art connoisseur doesn’t know s*** about panda poop sculptures.
And that is crazy.
