I'm sorry but if I saw this sober and had googly eyes to hand I'd be very tempted 😅

AIBU to think she improved it? Googly eyes make everything more fun!

Large blue animal sculpture with a long nose and two googly eyes

Australia: Graffiti conviction for woman who stuck googly eyes on Blue Blob

The woman had taken MDMA and three litres of vodka when she vandalised the piece nicknamed Blue Blob.

The same laws apply, even when the statue is a load of shit.

No way did she drink 3litres of vodka. That would kill someone!

I once put googly eyes over all the eyes of photos in my mum’s house… took her a week to notice 😂

Lararoft · 28/03/2026 10:01

And MDMA @WLnamechange lol

How did googly eye removal amount to 'costly damage'? I'd expect public art to be robust enough to withstand the addition and removal of some stickers without needing to be repaired.

SerendipityCat · 28/03/2026 10:02

I don’t know whether to be appalled or impressed that she did it after drinking three litres of vodka - surely a misprint?!

I'm not having it. A human can't consume 3l of vodka and not be in a coma, maybe the mdma counteracted it😅

It's gotta be a misprint!

Saw this a while ago outside Hammersmith post office. Made my day!

I agree. Wouldn’t it need to have bird poo etc cleaned off it?

Plus, it wouldn’t have needed repairing if they’d just left the googly eyes on it, given they were clearly an improvement. That sculpture should obviously have eyes.

I’d have assumed so. But I googled the story to check other articles and they all say 3 litres!

WhosGotTheKeysToMyBimma · 28/03/2026 10:24

It definitely needed eyes

I'm impressed she got them on in the right place after that amount of vodka and mdma

eurochick · 28/03/2026 10:30

Someone put googly eyes on the Colonel at our local KFC. He looked like a proper deviant.

Farewelltothatid · 28/03/2026 10:36

I just checked the date to see if it was April 1st.
The sculpture seems a total wind up. Sculpture is actually an art form i generally like but I think.Rodin is more my style

Epicuriouss · 28/03/2026 10:38

I just saw this! Someone’s front door. I really love it!

This has inspired me to get some google eyes and get vandalising - the postbox is awesome

Potential for charge of criminal damage in the UK ...

I am surprised she is alive!

Failedcrunchymum · 28/03/2026 11:03

Someone put googly eyes on the pictures of police officers and a dog on the sides of our community police kiosk. They were there for a while, might even still be there now. The fact they left them on there and continued to use the kiosk showed they had a sense of humour at least.

Im a part of the googly eye gang.
They make everything look better.
And they look fun and alive.
Hears my hair claw.

Im standing firm that 3l vodka would kill someone, it's not possible 😅
