Even fiberglass cows need some doctoring

On the rump of one of the 101 fiberglass cows dotting the area as public art this summer, some loser has deemed it hilarious to spray paint a vulgarity involving the word bull.
Emily Gritt shakes her head.

“It’s sad, very sad, but sort of funny how stupid they are,” she says.

She gets out a sponge and some paint thinner. The graffiti vanishes with a few rubs.

“I love it when it comes off so easy,” she says.

Gritt, 21, a UW-Madison senior and art education major, has one of the more unusual summer jobs.
