Artists spliced fake nuclear blast into TV weather news
A group of radical artists who panicked viewers of a Czech TV station by sneaking a nuclear mushroom cloud into its weather report are to be put on trial, prosecutors confirmed yesterday.Six members of the Ztohoven collective, whose aims include “penetrating public space�, are to appear in court this month charged with spreading false information. They could face three years each in jail.
The artists sent shock waves through the Czech Republic in June last year by splicing footage of the atomic explosion into a live panoramic shot of the Krkonose mountains, in north-east Bohemia…
In the Czech broadcast viewers saw their screens obscured by a flash of bright light after which an orange fiery mushroom cloud ascended on the horizon.
Ztohoven said the aim of its project, which it called Media Reality, was not to harm, but to illustrate how the media manipulates reality.

Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
A DISABLED woman died in a flat blaze after housing bosses ignored safety warnings dating back more than 20 years.
West Yorkshire Coroner David Hinchliff believes multiple sclerosis sufferer Anita Granger, 39, could have survived had smoke detectors been fitted in her home.
I knew Anita quite well, and this makes me quite angry. How much do smoke detectors cost?
And on another level, Anita would have hated 'Miss Granger' -- she was always Ms -- and as for calling her a 'disabled woman', she'd have been furious.
