'A council in the US has asked its residents to stop sticking googly eyes on
the city's art.
The comedy eyes have appeared on statues and murals around the city of Bend,
Oregon, causing a viral sensation.
"While the googly eyes placed on the various art pieces around town might give
you a chuckle, it costs money to remove them with care to not damage the art,"
the city said in posts on social media.
"It would cost $0 to leave them on," replied one Facebook user, while another
praised the artworks' additions.
"My daughter and I went past the flaming chicken today and shared the biggest
laugh," she said, using a nickname for the "Phoenix Rising" sculpture.
"We love the googly eyes. This town is getting to be so stuffy. Let's have
fun!"
Another Facebook user wrote: "I think the googly eyes on the deer specifically
are a great look, and they should stay that way."'
