Hikers Find 70 Shoes Filled With Butter

A Swedish couple hunting on a remote mountain Sunday in Sweden's far northern province of Jaemtland found 70 pairs of shoes, all filled with butter.

He [Alf Kjaellstroem, a province spokesman] said there were 140 shoes of all kinds — sneakers, children's shoes, high heels, boots and tap shoes — each stuffed with half a kilo (1.1 pound) of butter and spread out in the landscape.

140 shoes. Filled with butter. Set out in the remote landscape. Waiting to rot.

What is this? A turf war between the Shoe Fairies and the Butter Goblins? Somebody call Roland, quick!

The find was similar to one done by artist Yu Xiuzhen's in 1996.

His exhibit "Shoes With Butter," was laid out in the Tibetan mountains surrounding Lhasa, China.

No, no, no! This is not art. The Mona Lisa is art. David is art. The Sistine Chapel is art. Shoes filled with butter laid out in the remote landscape to rot is not art. It is prima-fascia evidence to put somebody in the Happy House.

"If we knew who had done this we could make them clean this mess up," Alf told The Associated Press Thursday.

I don't know about that, Alf. Reuters would probably do a big write up of how you're stifling the "artist's" mode of expression. Oh, wait a sec. You're not in America. Don't worry about it.

WTF? You're right it's not art! I don't care qhat anybody calls it, it is not art!. Its litter or trash and the instigator ought to be made to first clean it up and then be fined. Or maybe they could decorate their own home or yard with their "art". I like that idea! Dumbasses...


And do you have the comments "remember personal..." defaulted to no? Or am I missing something?

I SWEAR to you, even though I live in Sweden, that was NOT me!

I am a margarine girl, myself.

Sure, H. We know it's a girl and we know it's in Sweden. You're the only girl in Sweden that we know. Coincidence?

How do we know it's a girl? Cause it's 70 pairs of shoes filled with a cooking product!

Nate - I don't see an option for that in the configuration. I think it's because I'm still tinkering with the templates. When I rebuild the site preferences get lost.
