I love Fail Blog, a visual record of society’s signs and symbols gone horribly wrong. Sometimes, however, its lust to find fault mirrors of its faults. Why is this kid’s slide a fail? Children come out of the body. They are not likely to be scandalized by an orifice mash-up that functions as playground equipment.
It’s not a scandal, but unless it’s by Niki de Saint Phalle, it’s a rip off.
Her Hon (through her sex), from Moderna Museet Stockholm, 1966:
Her idea, her colors.

You tell ’em Regina. But unfortunately not enough people know who de Saint Phaille is. And there is no mistaking her work either – no one is really like her. Thanks for reminding us.

Yes. I remember the original.

There’s no chance this piece of playground equipment is hers. She’s dead. WAAAAAAY dead.
