Paint the town red

October 21, 2007 2:39 AM

Neo-futurists paint the water of the Fontana di Trevi blood red in a bid to turn "grey bourgeois society into a triumph of color". Some call it vandalism. Some may think it's another Sony Bravia viral.

Double posting this was probably also an act of neo-futurist cultural terrorism.

God damn do I ever hate art and artists.
