Moo-ve it out: N.Y. returning cow 'art'

It seems David Lynch is too gruesome even for New York.

The cow sculpture created by the director for a public art show is being returned to California without going on display, The New York Times reported Thursday.

Lynch, known for the eerie 1990s television drama "Twin Peaks," chopped off his cow's head and stuck forks and knives into its back. He also covered parts of the cow with a reddish, blood-like substance.

"I thought it was Charles Manson," city Parks Commissioner Henry J. Stern told the Times. "I don't know whether it's shock art or schlock art. David Lynch should stick to his day job, making movies."
