More balls than you'll ever want
Half a million colorful toy balls rolled around in the middle of Rome today. Most sightseers in Rome expect to see ancient monuments and whatnot (such as the location of this prank, the 18th-century Barcaccia fountain), but perhaps it's also home to a growing number of entertaining "street art" performances, to put it lightly.
Last October, a vandal / genius artist turned the 18th-century Trevi fountain blood-red as a sort of social commentary on the Rome Film Festival. No word yet if today's prank is a protest against Chuck E. Cheese.

This is great. You got to love em. Do this in the US and you would get a fully armed swat team, A federal indicment, and a full blown congressional investagation. Then they would find some poor schmo to pin it on and give them life at getmo for terrists acts against humanity. Then Al Gore would step in take credit for the whole thing, get a nobel prize a multi million book deal and a spot on Opra. The Clintons would deny all knowledge until they are caught in the ball pit at McDonalds. It just keeps getting worst. Onward thru the fog.

Did anyone slip on the balls and get hurt? Who paid for the clean up?

HA!!! Wonderful!!! It could never happen in the US - there would be a bunch of "accidents," causing "pain and suffering," with law suits to follow. Oh well, that's our loss...
