There are cows all over Paris (yes – those are spoons on the cow.)
Very cool. I wonder if I’ll stumble over a purple one.

Yes and there are similar cows grazing around many other cities including Johannesburg, South Africa. Then they're auctioned off to support charities.
In Zurich last summer there were blown up teddy bears, just like the cows in Paris. Also for charity.
I see a purple cow daily: photos tagged with yahoo and cow on flickr
I saw the cows when they were in KC, MO a few years ago. I love that they travel the world.
They are coming to Denver in July....

I think the cows started in Chicago, maybe 8 years ago, as a sort-of midwestern-themed-public-art-thing. They were such a hit with tourism and charity auction, they've repeated the project all over the world. I saw them in Tokyo a couple of years ago, where the locals were, not surprisingly, more perplexed than Chicagoans.
