I proposed my wife in front of the "original" Geyser (actually the functioning one right next to it) in Iceland. The night we posted a photo a friend of mine emailed me asking if I was the a7le who threw the red paint into the Geyser. I didn't know what he was talking about, until I checked the news. Turns out an hour after we left, some "artist" decided that a pink geyser is going to be his art [0].
While I cannot resist wondering about the possibility of proposing in front of a pink Geysir ... still ... what the f4k is wrong with people?

Some valid points were raised in the man's defense (e.g. the food coloring dissipated fairly quickly) though I can't say I approve. On a side note, it seems any mention of the controversy has been scrubbed from his Wikipedia entry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Evaristti https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marco_Evaristti
