COW PIE SCULPTURES GET POOH-POOHED

CHICAGO (Wireless Flash) -- An artist who creates sculptures that resemble cow-flops is being poohed-poohed by his peers. Since August, artist Robert Koutny has "deposited" around 50 of the faux cow flops underneath sculptures at the Cows on Parade exhibit in Chicago -- but he's gotten no respect from the folks who organized the event. Organizers will be announcing the award for the best cow sculpture in the exhibit tomorrow (Sept. 28) -- but there are no plans to acknowledge Koutny's cow dung sculptures. Koutny says he's hurt by the exclusion because he feels his poo-poo pieces are as much a part of the exhibit as any of the cow sculptures. Even more sad, the artist says he hasn't been able to keep his cow turd sculptures for posterity since vandals keep stealing them as souvenirs. In his words, "I've made 50 of these things so far, and all I have to show for it is a few photographs."
