QUIRKY WORLD ... Artist freed after Paris rooster performance

FRANCE: A South African performance artist who tied a live rooster to his penis during an impromptu open-air show near the Eiffel Tower was found guilty of "sexual exhibitionism", but the court did not impose a sentence

Last September, Steven Cohen danced on the tourist-filled Trocadero Plaza dressed in a corset, high heels, long red gloves, and an elaborate feathered headdress with a rooster attached to his penis by a ribbon.

Under the amused and perplexed gaze of tourists, including a group of nuns, the spectacle lasted a few moments before police arrested Cohen, dragging him across the plaza, rooster attached.
