Thousands of hot pink balloons will envelop the city of Kabul, Afghanistan, sometime this spring, as a New York-based artist attempts to bring hope and celebration in the form of balloons to the war-torn city.

Yazmany Arboleda, who has produced balloon art installations around the world, will hand out 10,000 balloons filled with messages from supporters around the world. The balloons will be given to adult residents of the city as they go to work one surprise Monday morning, Arboleda told ABC News.

Date Line Kabul. Yazmany Arboleda, who has produced balloon art installations around the world, was drug through the streets by locals and Taliban members for being an infidel dumb ass. His remains were tied to the balloons and are now believed to be drifting over parts of China and Outer Mongolia.

This story reminded me of the guy in Miami who got arrested for releasing balloons with his sweetheart near a wildlife sanctuary.

I only he claimed he was an 'artist'...

Awwww, how sweet!
