Please don't puree the goldfish: Art curators gone wild, on trial.

An art exhibit at a museum in Denmark featured live goldfish swimming in a blender. Now, the director of that museum is on trial for charges of cruelty to animals.

Visitors were given the possibility of pressing the button to transform the fish into a runny liquid. Artist Marco Evaristti, the Chilean-born bad boy of the Danish art scene, said at the time that he wanted to force people to "do battle with their conscience".
