This revolting 'thing' (called skywhale) is floating in the air over Canberra. Now I know Britain has that Tracey woman who put her bed into a gallery and those two disgusting men who show their naked bodies doing repulsive things, but I think this comes close to taking first prize for World Art Idiocy!!!! And it's right there, impossible to miss!!!!
Goodness me, Frank and Winifred, you both have some VERY interesting happenings in your not-too-distant past - a hanging and such a romantic love story! Any script writers in search of a story out there????
Later - It was made in Bristol, Winifred!!!!!!

The balloon, which was made in Bristol in the United Kingdom and cost A$172,000 ($173,000) has sparked outpourings on social media, with some describing it as a waste of money while others enjoyed the sense of fun.
On the Daily Telegraph website, Tim Blair said it was the perfect symbol for the city which is home to the national parliament – “a bloated, gaseous, multi-breasted monster feeding those who dwell in its poisonous shadow while leeching off the rest of us”.
“I’ve seen more attractive road kill than the grotesque #skywhale” was one response on Twitter.

That is beyond disgusting and the art community wonder why the general public don't respect funding.
It's horrid, almost but not quite as bad as the bed of the Tracy Emin woman.
I am not surprised that it was made in Bristol as we have a huge company named 'Cameron Balloons' who have the world's largest share in making hot air balloons and is also why we have the biggest balloon festival in Europe every August.
The question is why do the city council think everyone will love this monstosity hanging over them- or even anyone! - beats me. x
