Public Boxing makes people cry
You surely remember, dear reader, the [Public Boxing|http://www.artificis.hu/node/140] entry on this site – if not, read that first.
It’s not happy news coming this time: the phenomenon is over, before the 6 weeks are gone. Why? It has been said by the police, that it forces aggressive people to extrapolate their hate and start public fighting. They say also, that medics were called several times, etc, etc, etc. Typical (Hungarian) media: there was no media feedback before this incident.

Timeline – behind the scenes:
- 10/14 sculpture build
- 10/16 first bag is killed, placing out a new one – temporarly a smaller one
- ... nothing happens
- the creators plan to replace the smaller one with a bigger bag next week
- the small bag gets lost – someone cuts it off
- 11/08 Index.hu reports that the police has removed it
- 11/08-10 other sites report
- 11/10 police says that the sculpture must be removed
- 11/13 the sculpture has been removed
Did you noticed that the creators just thought that someone has stolen the bag when the police removed it? Noone has contacted them.
Now every journalist, psychiatrist and other “evil^Wscientific genius” say that how much a braindead idea was this, even they wanted to revoke the “public place usage permission” of the skulpture.
