Intruders, apparently drunk, broke into the Orsay Museum through a back door early Sunday and punched a hole in a renowned work by Impressionist painter Claude Monet, the French culture minister said.


If drunk morons can easily break into the museum and get away, the museum is lucky that is all that happened.

"When a fist hits your work, thrown by some poor drunk jerk, that's a Monet..."

Sing with me!
