I’m about 90% sure this statue stand in front of the north entrance to the Taipei central train station. Taipei is in Taiwan, and yes those are Chinese characters. I can’t be sure it’s the same one, may be a replica, but I was quite shocked when I saw it several years ago. I didn’t have a camera, though, so I’m glad someone else captured the artistic tragedy. As I remember, it’s not nearly as bad from other angles. None the less…
I’ve seen this statue at the Taipei train station and there is nothing suggestive about it when you look at it in person. In fact, I think that image is altered to make it look like the kid’s head is straight forward when in reality its turned to the right.
It’s outside of Taipei Train Station in the center of Taiwan. I walked by it so many times and finally go around to taking a picture and laughing my a** off ahahahahaha this was awesome!!
It is a perfectly innocent statue. Nothing wrong with a child running towards his father I see this happening all the time in Hyde Park. What is wrong is the twisted minds of the readers and probably also the media who is obsessed with reporting paedophilia stories regularly.
Oh, come on. This is obviously a normal depiction of a son hugging his father’s thigh, something kids do all the time. The angle it was taken, and the comments along with it, make it the mindf*ck. Clean up and grow up.
“Father’s Love” located outside the North Second Entrance of Taipei Railway Station is an inscription made by ex-President Lee Teng-hui in August 1992 that was sent as a gift by the Rotary Club of Chung Shan in Taipei City. To reflect on the love of father, the sculptor Fong Shen was specially invited to make a sculpture for the first scene “Wish” to show a scene in which children are waiting for their father and the second scene “Return Home” to show a scene in which a father embraces his children.
Ah gees…

The Chinese characters say “love father.” that’s a direct translation.
Was that intentional?!

That’s the worst fail yet. Yuck.
Precious moments
Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/
Caption fail. Normally we like to call statue artists “sculptors.”
Beat me to it by like a month.

Yep it’s the same one. I’ve seen this many times and joked about it a few times myself.
leechio quit putting dirty stuff here!
#19, that’s korian. it’s in korea.
you misspelled ‘Korean’.
fail.
[...] Fail Statue « The FAIL Blog: [...]
#21 Where in Korea? Of course Korea may also use Chinese characters, but I don’t see a single Korean character in the picture, only Chinese.
Oh, this has got to be better from another angle, because I really hope that it’s not what it looks like…
It’s Chinese
СКУЛЬПТОР ПИДОРАС
I couldn’t agree more unless I had some clue what you said.
He said “Sculptor Pidoras”
That might make more sense if it was “Sculptor Pedarast”…
lol wat?
That’s not Korean.
that’s so wrong in so many levels.
lol @ NAMBLA Headquarters! fukin classic, n for those who dont watch south park…grow up

LMFAO
Wow. That’s perverted. I wonder what it looks like from the side?
http://www.stuffwhitedbagslike.wordpress.com
Pervert it is! And then again maybe the world has changed a lot since the statue was made.

Translation: Fatherly love. No, seriously
HA!
I beg to differ! It wasn’t as artist fail. I bet the artist thinks it’s hilarious that someone agreed to display that statue in public.
This is in Taipei, I saw this when I visited a few years ago – totally amazing.
Here’s some other angles:

You’re all perverts.

It looks like a deprivation… Ouch!
The most interest detail: on the left side of the base, Li Dendhui, Taiwan’s former president’s and Taiwan independentist signature.
OMFG!! I TOTALLY KNOW THIS STATUE!!!!!
It’s outside of Taipei Train Station in the center of Taiwan. I walked by it so many times and finally go around to taking a picture and laughing my a** off ahahahahaha this was awesome!!
I think a more accurate and simultaneously funny translation would be “Love Daddy.”
Oh my goodness

Well, a little trick of perspective does wonders, right?
Wouldn’t that be a PaedoFAIL?
Would probably b Paedo WIN :-S
愛 = Love | 父 = Father
At least in Japanese but I’m pretty sure it applies to Chinese as well.
taiwanese for king of pop?
soooooo wrong
omfg! He’s probably a catholic!
He’s probably a Jew!
He’s probably a Negro!
He’s probably a queer!
He’s probably a Democrat!
See? Hate speech just isn’t funny, doesn’t matter who you’re hating on.
Except maybe you, you turkey-fkking shhtt-fer-brains useless excuse for a piece of used toilet paper.
The two characters are written in traditional right-to-left fashion, so it means “fatherly love”, not “loving father”.
i dunno…that kid looks like he’s suffocating
yum
hey i no that man he made me do it
Vocabulary fail… “Statue artist” = “Sculptor”
Oh, come on. This is obviously a normal depiction of a son hugging his father’s thigh, something kids do all the time. The angle it was taken, and the comments along with it, make it the mindf*ck. Clean up and grow up.
No, you relax and laugh. Honestly some people just don’t seem to have a sense of humor…
Clean up and grow up?
This is . . The Internet!
It means ‘a loving father’
TOO much of a loving father.

Taiwan Catholic Church win
Taiwan Jews win!
Taiwan Presbyterians win!
Taiwan queers win!

Haha one of those characters means love in chinese
The funny thing is, that actually says love one’s father
I sure hope nobody had to pose for that statue to be carved.
[...] Happy mo(nu)ment via [...]
bj XD
the first sign means love, “ai” in chinese xD
i belive no one said FIRST x)
The sentence means: The Love from Father. (父愛)
Chinese sentences used to be read from right to left.
