The Crate Sphere

For the Adelaide Fringe Festival, a team of artists known as the Crateman Crew created this Katamari-esque sphere of milk crates:

The crate sphere was designed to be rolled down the street as the final act in the parade. Comprising of 688 milk crates and being over 4.5 meters high, it had an estimated weight of over 700 kilograms. It was hoped that upon seeing us struggle with the beast, members of the audience would join in, and help us roll the sphere to a glorious end!

Unfortunately the reality was somewhat different.

Wait, I'm sorry, a couple people built a huge and **obviously** potentially dangerous "thing" and expected random people to jump in to help control it?

I blame the designers, one hundred percent, not the bystanders.

What incredibly poor planning!

But it's "new art" (like new math and just as stupid) so it's supposed to kill or maim bystanders - otherwise it wouldn't be "new art" it would just be stupid people pasting together junk and calling it "art".

Of course I'm sure that those milk crates were acquired legally, since most states have laws specifically dealing with milk crate theft, right? You know, the theft that costs milk produces millions of dollars a year: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_crate ?

You wouldn’t be condoning that would you Neatorama?

I'm wrapping up my 2nd PhD, so free time for snarky comments is really rare (that's good or bad depending on your POV - so discuss amongst yourselves).

There is NOTHING I love more in the world than sucking what life and joy out there is out of comment boards. And just so you know, I'm on my 904th PhD and my dad is much stronger than your dad.

If I'm goin' to a parade it's to sit there in the sun and have 3 year old saltwater taffy and tootsie roll missiles thrown at me by the guy who wants to be elected to the city council. I sure ain't interested in helping push no milk crates around.
