Ok but I think the residents have a point here.
There are no rules!!!
That’s exactly what someone who wants googly eyes on everything would say.
Or someone clueless about how the Internet and the human mind works.
I think you’re one of those googleyers! Distraction.

The council also said that in the past other decorations like Santa hats and wreaths have been added but that this was different.
“While we don’t condone the wreaths… and Santa hats, let’s stay away from adhesives, graffiti and all things that can damage the art” it said on it’s social post.
It sounds like what they don’t want is adhesive on the thing, which I’d say is probably a legit ask.
For those that didn’t read the 9-sentence (plus title/captions) article, the biggest issue is damage risk from adhesives rather than anti-fun:

The council leader has explained that while they want the community to engage with the art and have fun, they also don’t want things to be damaged.
So stick the googly eyes onto a headband or something first I guess?
A big wad of poster putty? That’s not good long term but the city is going to have groundskeeper Wille pull them off when he sees them.
Ok, honestly, that sticker glue causes no damage to objects 24/7 exposed to the elements.

Btw, we don’t do punctuation anymore?
So far the council says it has spent $1,500 (£1,190) on removing googly eyes from seven of the eight sculptures affected.
I’ll do it for $1000!
Seriously, what is the cost involved in removing googly eyes from metal sculptures, other than wages you’d be paying anyway for the employee that cleans it up? I could buy maybe they have to use some special adhesive remover to protect it long term, but $1500 worth??
Maybe the city council should listen to the people of the city who want a fun sculpture rather than a rusty piece of shit?
