Man Spends 3 Days Making $15,000 LEGO Statue, Child Destroys It In Seconds
231Kviews
Exhibitions are pretty cool. Especially the interactive ones. But one kid took the hands-on concept a little too far when he accidentally trashed a $15,000 LEGO sculpture at an Expo in Ningbo, China.
The cool sculpture was a giant fox figurine of Nick Wilde, one of Zootopia’s characters. The artist, named Zhao, spent three long days and nights meticulously piecing the life-size Disney character together from thousands of lego bricks, but it only took the kid seconds to destroy when he accidentally pushed the work of art over just one hour after the exhibition opened in a shopping mall. He’d climbed under the security ropes to get a closer look at the cartoon character and, well, he obviously got a little TOO close! His parents offered to compensate Zhao but the artist declined and gracefully accepted that the incident was simply an unfortunate accident. After all, what kid wouldn’t want to play with that amount of LEGO?

What can go wrong with the security ropes around the sculpture?

shitty parents, spoiling their kids. If i did that as a kid i would have gotten a beating of a life because i ruined someones work, was an uncivilized idiot for passing the barricade, and embarrassed my parents.
You wouldn't have done it anyway because our generation knew better!! We knew the limits and respected it. I fear for the future of humanity :(
Bull. I knew a lot of bad kids growing up. That's like saying crime didn't exist in the past because we knew the limits an respected it. The only difference between now and then is that bad behavior is splashed all across the internet.
Thinking about it, it's OUR generation who are rising these shitty childs. We weren't that good after all. :P
Yes But we are The parents of this generation
So you're saying the kids of your generation were perfect little angels who did nothing wrong? Wow.
Oh for FUCK's sake ... KID acts like a KID: END OF HUMANITY IS NIGH.
SO True!
just like our generation didnt have to be told not to try this at home nearly as much as this generation
I'm sorry but look at what this generation is achieving! It is out of order to say your generation respected crime more than the current
Yeah, and if you were a kid, would you appreciate it if someone said that to you? I don't think so. That is very offensive to some kids.
When I was about seven, I was taken to a state house. There was a lot of antique furniture on display, and because of its high value, there was security rope. In one of the rooms, there was a beautiful grandfather clock, and because I wanted to get a closer look, I slipped underneath when my mum turned to speak to my dad, just for a moment. Of course, I set off the alarms, and a guard had to be called. The staff were very understanding, but I still remember the sheer guilt I felt that night, for breaking that rule, and almost getting my parents into trouble, too. The article doesn't seem to mention the age of the child, but what if they had been a toddler? Or very young? Parents can't keep a constant vigilance on their kids, and sometimes it really does take just a minute. Children don't usually understand the long-term consequences of their actions, anyway. Apparently the parents offered to compensate the artist for the damage, but the artist refused.

Geez people, relax. It's a kid. At least the artist is significantly more chill than the internet lynch-machine.
I feel you. Here is much worse. When a naughty kid punished by a teacher at class corner, the parent would call a cop and report the teacher for child-abuse. So.. yes.. I fear the future.
Children: the weapon of mass destruction
More like crappy parents; the irresponsible keepers of human WMDs.
Bullshit...children are children it know matter how awesome their parents are they make mess sometimes and fuck up great things like that. Dont judge the parents immidiately.... my mothertongue is not english..no need for grammar nazis to fix my comment
It was a joke people...no need to get so emotional.
*ahem, and what would you call yourself then?
"accidentally pushed it" "climbed under the security ropes" Uhm... so where were the parents to tell their kid not to cross the security ropes, they're there to avoid things like this.... -_-
Im guessing on their phones.
parents were busy finding a zoo they can take them to - to play with the gorillas.
Agreed
may updating sts about them visiting the lego expo :p while the little monster was busy crossing the security ropes :D
Didn't you know, art, gorillas, it's NEVER the parent's fault. Accidents happen.
