    Here’s a rather harsh and unusual punishment for a Missouri man who paid a teenage to destroy a world war II monument, Rex Barstow has agreed to be banished from the town. The 57 year old from Clark paid a 14 year kid to knock over the General Omar Bradley monument and then spray paint the fire department shed. It seems the town is rather happy with the outcome and will be glad to see the back of him.

    A fiberglass sculpture of a mule has been “cow tipped” less than two days after it was placed along the Erie Canal in Brockport. The Mule which cost $1,600 was smashed to smithereens, leaving a community devastated.Lori Skogg the chairman of the Arts and Aesthetics Committee of the Walk! Bike! Action! Group in the village said “Everybody is sick about it. I mean, it didn’t even last two days.” A local artist has volunteered to try and piece it back together. This isn’t the first time the community has experienced “public art tipping” in 2006 a steel sculpture was toppled. Lets hope they catch the ass that did it.
