Nowhere does it mention the nationality of the tourists, but somehow we all immediately know…
US, UK, or China, there’s no way it’s anything else
Do we? My first guess was English but they could ofc as easily be American
My first guess would be Chinese.
It’s very likely it wasn’t someone from the US. We got such a stigma from back in the 70’s to 90’s that Americans seldom behave like jackass’s in Europe anymore.
Lmao wtf? I may be stoned, but you’re tripping.
Do you live in an alternate timeline or something?
Look it up yourself. Chinese tourists actually took the top spot quite a while back.
If not chair. Why chair shape?
Because it’s ‘art’
They said it was art
But it crumbled before my fart
(Sorry)
Having found a picture of the chair before it was sat on, this man did the world a favor. It looks like someone bedazzled a crappy chair with very over priced crystals. This chair trades on names like Swarofki and Van Gogh but has no artistic merit of its own.
And before some says “art is subjective” please note my subject view above.
slop art
In the Wyoming and Montana (Yellowstone) area we call these people “tourons” (tourist morons). Sitting on a priceless piece of art or petting a giant bison, it all comes from the same place. Profound stupidity driven by an unhinged sense of privilege.
I saw one where a lady jumped a guard rail and nearly stumbled and fell into the boiling hot spring she was trying to touch. Because I guess the steam and radiant heat wasn’t enough to tell her it was really fucking hot?
It has definitely happened.
I like how the video title subtly corrects the article title. “Okay, first of all, it was just his body that dissolved, so jot that down.”
Mmm… Darwin Award
Only if he didn’t have kids.
The pits probably big enough for them
The video shows, it isn’t that they accidentally sat in a seat, but they were posing as if they were going to sit on it, but fell back into it.
It’s fairly clear that he meant to touch and put at least some weight on it on his 2nd attempt. He only stumbled after the chair gave way.
Yes, but that headline would get less clicks.
The museum is mad that they left after that, but honestly I’d be pretty terrified going up to them and mentioning that I’d fallen into a priceless artifact and broken it. In theory, they didn’t put up glass, and as professionals knew that means there’s a risk accidents could happen. In practice, maybe they’re short on funds and whatever bureaucrat sees suing me as a way out.
A chair frame covered in glued on glass rhinestones doesn’t really sound priceless. It looks like something you’d buy at TJ Maxx.
