Life Imitates Art

Perhaps you've seen this Pepsi commercial, with a giant Pepsi logo ball pinballing playfully around a city:




Now here is a real-life version of this story, which is somewhat more scary:

MEADVILLE, Pa. — A 1,500-pound wrecking ball broke loose from a crane cable and raced downhill, smashing into several cars and injuring three people before coming to rest in the trunk of a car at an intersection Monday.

If it wasn't so scary it might be funny, but it's still too soon; at least it seems like the injuries were mostly minor. Some things seem like a good idea until you actually see them happen, I guess.
