The video in this post has been kicking around for a couple days but I just can't resist it.
A woman at an art gallery in Los Angeles thought it would be a wonderful idea to take a selfie against a backdrop of expensive art sitting atop a series of pedestals.
You know what happens next. She screws it up and the pedestals fall like dominoes. She caused $200,000 in damage to the artwork.
It's her fault, of course, but in hindsight, with all that expensive art, the gallery probably should have stabilized the pedestals better so they wouldn't fall over so easily.
As is always the case with this type of story, especially when the camera angle is lined up so perfectly, it's possible this was all a stunt.
Who knows?
Here's the video:
Matt of All Trades blog, like the title suggests, is by a Vermont author and offers offbeat musings on pop culture, media, journalism, humor, weirdness, stupid people, smart people, my life as a journalist, landscaper, photographer, married gay man, dog lover and weather geek and more. It's run by me, Matt Sutkoski, a native Vermonter living in St. Albans, Vt.
