First, the bad news: "An Argentinian artist name Caesar Saëz who lived in Quebec applied to the Canada Arts Council and to the Quebec counterpart (le Conseil des Arts et des Lettres du Québec) to create a 300-metre long flying banana made of bamboo and a type of synthetic paper (resembling Tyvex?) in order to denounce George Bush. The banana was to fly over the state of Texas."

The good news? He skipped town with the money.

The price of bile is ever high. The national (or city!) arts council gave him funds to do this in another country, and at the farthest end of the country at that. It seems Canadians have no sense of geography.
