Doctors were trying to assess whether she was suffering from Stendhal Syndrome, a rare condition that causes dizziness, confusion or violent acts when an individual is exposed to art. This is reminiscent of the 1972 mutilation of one of the supreme masterpieces in the history of Western art, Michelangelo's "Pieta," by Laszlo Toth, a Hungarian-born Australian, who leaped over a guard rail in St Peter's crying, "I'm Jesus Christ!" and attacked the statue with a hammer. He, too, was diagnosed as insane, possibly suffering from Peter, Paul, and Mary Syndrome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY2JEGLD0-k Steve Savage "King of the Beasts" http://sskotb.blogspot.com/ How do you get past the guards with a hot cup of tea? I had no idea about Stendhal Syndrome. It sounded fake, so I looked it up. I love learning new stuff. She should have been arrested. Someone could have been burned by her stupidity, not to mention the mess that she created. Maybe my bleeding heart is showing here, but this wasn't exactly a "violent" crime LOL. I dunno CO.

But I agree with you, I would not be happy if someone was throwing shit at people.....that's where I draw the line....! I couldn't get a good look at Mona when I was at the Louvre (yeah, it is a pretty snobby place but then so are a lot of Parisians - just my experience); it seemed to be permanently mobbed by Japanese tourists. Sounds like a lapse in security - pretty sure you are not allowed to wander about with food or drink. I think I hate snobbery worse than ppl throwing shit Clip On. What do you think they should have done to her?I think she should be severely scalded... I mean scolded. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxEmnxiUz8w more info: The woman put up no resistance when museum guards apprehended her after the incident on August 2. She was handed over to police who said the woman "did not have all her mental faculties and has been transferred to the police psychiatric infirmary." The Louvre, the biggest art museum in the world, has thousands of paintings, but most of the millions of visitors a year make a bee-line for the Mona Lisa, known in France as La Joconde. The 500-year-old painting was stolen in 1911 from the Louvre but was returned two years later after an Italian was arrested for i... Oh, I like Nat King Cole!!! Yes, please! |
