Tomato? Tomahto? Let's just fight

Chicago Tribune: "Kinkley and nine others threw more than 3,000 pounds of stewed tomatoes at each other for an art performance coordinated by Chicago artist Jeanne Dunning. The fighters tossed the red fruit and frolicked on a makeshift white stage for an audience on a grassy field near UIC."

i think things like this are good for society. in todays crazy hectic overstressed world people need to just take some time relax have fun and throw tomatos at each other.

there is an orange battle that happens in Italy every year....

Yeah, its a sort of sad comment on society that we all understand how relaxing "play" is and just how important it is to relax (as demonstrated by making it art) but we build our schedules so as to exclude it from our lives. Its the joy of modernity. There must be a play about this out there somewhere...
