After Deb ranted about the fact that Central Park's natural beauty had been temporarily stripped by orange half-curtains, by $21m which could have been utilized in restroom restorations (including mural paintings and stained glass sunroofs), in addition to re-painted benches, we've decided on a more productive project.
A brief visit to http://www.christojeanneclaude.net/tg.html is highly recommended in order to acheive a clear understanding of our decision.
Thanks!

Number One
New York-- Debtopher, Christorah and their respective auras are ready to unleash a shroud of urine on the people of New York.
The act of urine production is violent, yet cleansing. Debtopher and Christorah believe this truly captures the essence of the people of New York. In their latest (and greatest) work, they will bestow The Big Apple with a gift for all the senses.
Feel the urine beneath you. Smell it all around you. Taste... if you dare.
Over the next 16 days, the artists and their team of 2000 paid employees* will sprinkle major New York landmarks in a blanket of urine.
Yet, the magnitude of their work cannot be felt unless it reaches as many people as possible. Targets include major transportation hubs such as Grand Central Station, Port Authority Bus Terminal, Penn Station and the MTA. Even 2000 randomly selected taxis will participate.
Mayor Bloomberg applauded the project, citing it as a testament to New Yorker's "Can do" spirit.
Their next great project, Number Two, sponsored by Taco Bell Corp, is also in the works.
*They are not volunteers! They are homeless people who are being paid with a daily steaming cup of chicken noodle soup.... and a gallon of water.
