  • COOOOOOOOL

  • They should do that every year :D

  • One of them slips and breaks their neck on the stairs.

  • futurismo = fascismo 

  • Thats going to look good in a land fill

  • thats amazing haha

  • Producing more plastic trash. Smart!

  • watch all the red balls fall in the wishing well hahahaha

  • These fucking police putting a yellow line over the scene... -_-

  • lol two thing one the cops are like wtf is this anout. two the clener guy are like "Yep just sweepin up balls" lol

  • The cops are SO gonna arrest their asses.

    But seriously, that was pretty awesome of the guys.

  • AHAHAHAHA XDDDD

  • when I read colorful balls in protest... well you know where I'm going with this

  • i don't really understand how dumping plastic down stairs protest anything. If the dumps were full then the only people to blame are the people who don't recycle and someone is going to have to clean up all those balls.

  • Comment removed

  • the person is an artist. Its hard to understand an artist langauge. What they are thinking arent what we are thinking.

  • or the person was undiscovered and was aiming for publicity i know thats sort of rude to assume but it seems more logical then making a mess to protest garbage.

  • Maybe throwing out colour balls is better than actual garbage. But the point of this is ridiculous. I heard of people protesting against sanitation departments not doing there job, but not people protesting against cleaning the streets. That is like saying plastic bags is good for our health.

  • huh cooool xD i wonder wut they did 2 him?! would they punish him for the terribly colorful mess he made :D

  • probably a "colorful" fine. :)

  • why didn't they put them in a pit then swim in em' that would've been fun as hell

  • ahhhh who had the job to pick that up ? stop throwing garbage at the street i hate those people

  • What the fuck does that have to do with garbage?

    Although I do want to jump in there and roll around like a 5 year old

  • ok 1 question did it work if not EPIC if it did EPIC

  • did someone fell and die?

  • ballsy

  • pun intended? :P

  • Ballz of steel!

  • that was me who dropped the 1st big bag of balls!!!!!!!!!!! =D

  • you don't livein the naples. your profile says LA

  • lol what a douche, profile says LA

  • douche bag, Is It Hard To believe That I MOVED! Fucking Moron's. Dont be Mad just because i was in the video and you ppl wern't.

  • "I was Born in Los Angles In Southern Cali. And I Love .."

    you get peice of mind making up shit..

  • Ya i was Born In L.A. But you dont know shit about my family! My Parents divorced when i was little and my dad moved to Naples, while my mom stayed in L.A! I Was Visiting My dad over there for half a year! So Dont tell me Where i was And who im not Fag! your the douche bag that cant understand family divorce rights and how the court settled it. And copy pasting off of my profile is Really childish, only little kid's and ppl who cant handle there shit do that.

  • Lol, how can you assume I dont know anything about family divorce rights, how'd you know my parents arn't divorced?

    and 'Quoting' isn't very childish at all, people use it all the time..

    I'm in this video too.

  • What ever. i dont care about you or your family, just stop talking about this. im done with this and you =D

  • Have a great life in LA

  • i dont care smoke my pole you fuckin mexican

  • Go fuck your mothers you fat lazy ass you dirty american. Fucking scum.

  • go play runescape or some other fagget video game in your little fantasy land pussy

  • Thats the best idea ever. The person who thought of that was either really smart or rally stoned. But it was great watching that

  • funny thing is, those will end up in the garbage

  • EXACTLY WHY HE DID IT DIPSHIT

  • wow what a tard were do the balls go after... the garbage

  • That was the point.

  • thats the point idiot...

  • the person who thought of this is a genius!

  • I guess he got their attention!

    Great to see a protest that makes people laugh & be happy.

  • wow look beautiful

  • i wish i was there it looked like a rainbow waterfall :P

  • O_O Beautiful...*stunned*

  • I dumped some colored balls on your mom.

  • If only every world problem could be solved this way...

  • I don't get the connection. Does the government look out of there window and say, look at all the balls, oh, that must be because of all the garbage. It's sooo obvious!

  • Uhm...DUH! The artist did something outrageously unusual at a world famous monument in a way that is basically harmless to people, any property or the environment. He is drawing attention to the problem is all. And it made a lot of people smile, so that is a bonus. Duh.

  • sooo cool i love when ppl are happy :)

  • I still got more balls. ;)

  • ironicly hes protesting about garbage. in yet hes litering with plastic balls. ingenius

  • Good way to get the city to clean it up, and the garbage must go somewhere.

  • thats cute.

  • I don't understand how this did anything to help the garbage pick up, but it was really pretty

  • Agreed 100,000,000,000%

  • that looks fun

  • "They want to stop collecting garbage because we're running out of space? I'll show them! I'll create a shit-ton of garbage and make the city clean it up."

    That's when I slap him.

  • LOL that is cool!

    Why can't all protests be like this?

  • thats alot of balls.

  • idiotic

  • amazing.

    true beauty.

    true art.

  • agreed.

  • I thought all the colored balls were awesome; much better than ugly garbage. Hey, if one has to protest, this was a delightful way to do so.

  • I don't blame him.

    If your gonna protest, make it hard on other peoples lives.

    For example: The people who have to pick it up.

  • Yes

  • Now those plastic balls and the large bags that they were being poured from will be placed in a landfill somewhere.

    Artist, no, idiot, yes.

  • I think it's this magical thing called symbolism?

  • It's bollocks, or balls

  • wow those are some tiny balls.....

  • Magical,,... eh to stick it to the man !

  • jeeze....a guy's gotta have a lot of balls to do something like that

    A. Chigurh

  • HAHAHA

  • that is some pro shit rite there!!

  • I have one thing to say and one thing only... weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

  • awesome to watch, but why make more garbage when they can't take what there already is? Shouldn't he have had people dump their actual garbage down the stairs? This would clean up their homes and make a statement and get the garbage taken away.

  • The Spanish Steps (site of the protest) are in Rome, the problem was in Naples. So *technically* he wasn't adding to the problem in Naples... but I see your point :)

  • it doesn't matter, he's making more garbage and not helping anything.

  • @riceypuffcake

    DUMBASS

    read the description at least.

    to PROTEST. HALT. in garbage COLLECTION.

    They love garbage. They are making a point.

  • lol he has no talant

  • made for fun for the garbage crews, took the mundane out of their work

  • what a douchebag! how does creating more plastic and pouring it through a city protest the non-garbage collection?! thats like killing animals to protest animal cruelty.

  • You took the word out of my mouth, MaggieKid. "Douchebag" was my exact immediate reaction when I saw this clip. Visually it's cool, but basically a dumb idea. Like releasing balloons for weddings, etc.

  • yeah, this doesnt make much sense at all...

    but for some reason, it reminded me of a dip and dots commercial O.o

  • eh si .... Angel ricordo la scena che fù detta da tutti le news italiane! ;-DDDDD

    bello eh?!

    grazie per avermi inviato il video da tube!

    ciao amica :-****

  • Isn't this just a ripoff of the Sony Bravia commercial with the bouncy balls in San Francisco?

  • very good

  • Genial y original protesta!

  • Haha wonderfull way to protest, i would let the balls just lay there, it looks realy nice :P

  • Great idea very nice I hope it does not rain A big Applause my friend looks like they are enjoying it? rnv09

  • OMG, thats just more GARBAGE to pick up..LOL

  • UNIQUE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • yeeeees!

  • LOL It made a nice touch here and there in the town. At least now there will be more McDonalds with ball pits up there

  • This seems like a good generic protest for anything at all.

    Campaign finance reform colored ball protest!

  • i THINK THIS A VERY UNIQUE AND FUN PROTEST.

  • could yhoo inmagine getting caught in the middle

  • Took a lot balls to pull that off.

  • fuckin sweet roll em

  • PRETTY! =D

  • Sony beat him to it. Look up the Bravia bounce tv ad.

  • this was great. I bet they had a lot of fun doing it. aha

  • This reminds me of the first book I every read which taught me about colors. This is beautiful,who could help but smile at all those colorful balls.

  • Colorful BALLS, okay just kidding that was immature of me!

  • anybody who doesnt like this is most likely a douche bag. fucking awesome!!!!!!!!!!

  • in otherwords: Pick this up suckers!

  • That pisses me off. That could've really hurt that old lady at the beginning. Some people have too much freedom.

  • lol. there kiddie ball-pit balls, they would just go flat..

  • this was recomended for me this sucks balls!

  • omg thats rad

  • ummmm how did that help?

    and how does throwing 50,000 coloured balls down some stairs help solve the lack of room in the dumpsters....

    Just thought id ask, i mean why not be proactive?

  • awsome stick it to the man,and it looks like fun lol

  • too bad your mom shoved all of them balls up her ass before my mom got to them ;)

  • this is what happens when artist's run out of ideas you never saw bob ross being a jerk like this!!!, if I was one of those cops I would drag that guy over and make him pick up every ball

  • i would steal some and make a giant pool of colorful balls :)))))))))

  • cool...

  • cazzo era ora direi! xd

  • lol!

  • funny.lol

  • that is sooo cool

  • SWEEEEEET

  • Now who the fuck is gooing to pick up all those balls? You dumbasses.

  • that's kind of the point

  • ha ha !

  • Wow. Another person drawing attention to pollution by polluting. THAT'S original...

    I've got some colorful balls for saving the world right here...

  • you know, I agree that it looks cool, and artsy, or whatever. But kinda defeats the purpose.. doesn't it?

  • I am sorry but that is retarded.

    First and foremost, people could've gotten hrut. It's a flight of stairs for goodness sake.

    Second, to protest the garbage problem thea rtist adds 50,000 balls to the existing trash?!

  • From seeing this and reading the description I find it to be trivial. Tossing 50,000 balls down a flight of stairs? Was the number even significant. He had to say that he was doing it as a protest of the garbage situation so it's not like he couldn't have said, "Oh and the number is significant too". It's just a bunch of balls on a flight of stairs making an old man happy on his way to feed the pigeons. And now there's more garbage, albeit colorful, to overfill the dump.

  • well can now all see that somebody obviously liked balls.

  • I saw it on journal, Fun!

  • holy shit.

  • if theres no room theres no room!!

  • wow that would be well fun to try and swim in. x

  • At first I thoght this was going to be a situationist piece about people producing too much rubbish and highlighting the amount of waste in our society. Intersesting point I thought. But no, he's just pissed off 'cos the council won't collect all the rubbish from his and he finds it inconvenient. So he adds to it. What an idiot.

  • You obviously fully comprehend the situation in Naples. Theres no one picking up the trash cause theres no where to put it. The council sold land fill space to neighbouring countries, hence no more land fill for Naples.

  • it would suck to clean all them balls up

  • the way i see it is that each one of those colored balls represents a piece of trash that doesn't get cleaned up. And watch how it just builds up and becomes an obstruction. Pretty creative.

  • Did you know there is an island in the Pacific ocean "constructed" from discarded plastic water bottles?

  • no, you're thinking of "Waterworld" with Kevin Costner ;)

  • I totally agree with jurky1014. It looks like fun and even charming, but now those colored balls are trash.

  • You know, I read this a few days ago and didn't do anything about it. Still no clown. When do I get my scary clown? Well? I'm waiting. O.o

  • haha yep, (i had nothing to do for 5 min so there was my solution)

  • I don't know who you are, but the government didn't murder anyone on 9/11, the terrorists did. All you want to do is sell your stupid CONSPIRACY T-Shirts. You knew perfectly well what it means.

  • people are weridos... droping balls ever where....

  • thats what she said.

  • That's a pretty funny protest. The Police and sanitation people were laughing about it. either that or they were smiling thinking what they were going to do to the guy.
