The golden pissing Petro prank

It functioned as a fountain.

There is a famous 15th Century statue in Brussels called Manneken Pis which depicts a naked boy urinating into a fountain.

Russian artist trickster Petro Wodkins decided to install a golden statue of himself standing on a pedestal, holding his own penis and peeing into the fountain. His reason:

"…my impression of Belgium that it was a boring country and I wanted to give the Belgians some fun and a new art experience."

Police removed the statue.
