A prankster in Bend, Oregon, transformed a bronze sculpture of a doe and her calf, known as 'Big Ears', by attaching googly eyes, leading to mixed reactions. While some found the new look humorous, city officials expressed concern over the costs associated with removing the eyes responsibly. The incident gained national attention, even attracting remarks from Stephen Colbert. The prankster, identified as Jeff Keith, has a history of harmless pranks aimed at eliciting smiles and thoughtfulness in the community.
"Come on, you're going to get mad about that? It's fun, and, frankly, it's safer. If Bambi's mom had had those eyes, maybe she’d have seen that hunter coming."
"While the googly eyes placed on various art pieces around town might give you a chuckle, it costs money to remove them with care to not damage the art."
