Top 10 Most Shocking & Bizzare Fountains in the World
Ok, panda has to admit that the title of the post is a bit overstated, but I had to grab your attention somehow. And if you are reading this, it worked!
The list of top 10 worlds strangest fountains is far away from being official or anything like that, it’s panda’s top 10.
But don’t worry, you won’t be disappointed – these fountains will be your boredom killers for the next few minutes.
As I am a very curious creature, I’m also really interested in other strange and shocking fountains that I haven’t put there, so feel free to share your findings by leaving a comment.
P.S.: Somehow I feel that by writing these introductions I create even more boredom for you, and that’s completely against my mission (to kill your boredom!), so start scrolling down the pics!

“Visitor can interrupt them by sending SMS message from mobile phone to a number, displayed next to the sculptures. The living statue then “writes” the text of the message, before carrying on as before.”

“Nation for Itself Forever” looks like a masturbating guy who has reached his climax….LOL
No, really Parrie? Wow, you spotted that one.
Wow, cool pics. It’s funny… Parrie may have stated the obvious, but Cronk felt the need to point out that it was an obvious statement. Classy man, making fun of people on the internet, just classy.
Justin is insulting MrCronk and is no better than Parrie on the obviometer.
yes,he was having a wank! geez.
#6 is common in so many places, it’s time to retire that one as being special…
hmm, thats very odd for you to say, number six…
Im from swansea and that bloodfountain thing isnt exactly true, the red dye was just put in there one time as a prank. It isnt always like that
There’s a place called The Forbidden Corner in the Yorkshire Dales, England. It’s a nice place, there’s lots of strange sculptures and such. This post reminded me, there’s a sculpture there that is a lot like number 7 here (the small boy urinating off the edge of the archway) hidden in some bushes above the path, with a motion sensor below. It’s quite a nice effect, when someone walks past, the motion sensor triggers the flow of water, and the statue answers nature’s call. All over them.
TENSO!!
Great Post! That gold one just eats me up!
From official Cerny website-
This project was tricky. The building is Prague’s National Theatre, in a very prominent position on the bank of the Vltava river. The sculpture was supposed to be installed in May 2003, right before Czech referendum about entering the EU. At the end of February the board of the Theatre cancelled it, fearing that they would all lose their jobs
I like the milking mermaid… she gave me wood.
Here’s another one for your collection, to be found in Konstanz (Germany).
The so called ‘Konstanzer Triumpfbogen’ actually consists of several statues, grouped around a little square pool.

@birdie thanks! It is a great addition to the list. I bookmarked it, and might use it for the future posts.
Anyone else get turned on by that mermaid?
Yeah, I think thats what “Nation for Itself Forever” was lookin at.
Just additional info: The girls under the umbrella statue is called “Böst” and is located in the city of Trelleborg, in the south of Sweden.
these fountains are incredible! and unfortunately are being abused by 90% of the people who have commented here. can we please act our age and not our shoe size?
wonderful pictures.
thank you for sharing =]
They are being abused….If we all could only be as high and mighty as you Luna. I for one think it is my right to abuse fountains and do so at every opportunity. And as for acting our age, I do have very large feet!
Actually you’re mistaken, the boy isn’t urinating on the frog, the frog is merely giving the boy a friendly splash.
I am from Kansas City and the last statue is located on the Country Club Plaza. The frog is actually spitting the water on to the boy.. You can tell if you look at the picture closely.
Im from swansea too and meh wish we had a blood fountain all year round xD
