Who Is Behind The Googly-Eye Pranks In This US City? A 'Sticky' Issue For Govt But Locals Are Having Fun

Trending News: Googly eyes have invaded the artistic streets of Bend in Oregon, turning the US city’s sculptures into unintended comedians and sparking a whirlwind of laughter, and headlines. Around the city of Bend’s famed “Roundabout Art Route”, these wobbly wonders have popped up on different art pieces — from stoic deer sculptures to a metal sphere. Sharing snapshots of the googly transformation on social media, a post by the city agreed the googly eyes were funny, but said "it costs money to remove them with care to not damage the art". Let’s have fun!” "These googly eyes give me the hope to move forward each day," wrote an Instagram user, while another user said on Facebook: “I think the googly eyes on the deer specifically are a great look, and they should stay that way.” Others, however, are raising a skeptical eyebrow at the city’s priorities. So as stewards of the collection, we wanted to share that on social media.” So far, the city has shelled out $1,500 to remove the googly eyes from seven of the eight affected sculptures, and is considering repainting the “Phoenix Rising” sculpture, which took the brunt of the adhesive assault, according to the AP report.
