Video: Room Covered in Melted Cheese
It's the fear I never had until now: to return to my hotel room and find everything—walls, ceiling, furniture, floor—covered in melted cheese. In 1999, Canadian artist Cosimo Cavallaro covered Room 114 at the Washington Jefferson Hotel in New York City in 1,000 pounds of cheese from the Swiss Cheese Foundation. I wouldn't have wanted to visit that room on a hot day. Watch the video after the jump.

I don't accept this kind of stupidity as art. It is stupidity and that is all there is to it. Others are welcome to ooh and ah over it if they wish, but it will always be nothing more than stupidity in my eyes.

It looks like something out of a horror movie. My arteries are clogging just looking at it!

I can only imagine what the smell must be like. Especially after the fat in the cheese goes rancid.

When I was in college, my art teacher made us go to an exhibit where one of the "sculputres" was a large three drawer dresser that had been filled with liquid candy, and then chainsawed in half. The title of the piece was something like "i'll never love you more than i do right now."
This "art" is slightly less stupid than that.

I hate this!! Oh my gosh. I really hate this. I'm not quite sure why I'm having such a violent reaction to it, but I certainly am.

Total waste of cheese! The room will have to be redone at an astronomical cost! Not worth the publicity or the horrible smell!

Ditto on every above comment. Gross and wasteful.

I've seen this before, though I'm fairly sure it was called "A Lactose Intolerant's Worst Nightmare".
