Legos heal the wounds of Italian town

The Italians are known for crapty construction (I’m looking at YOU Tower of Pisa) but this is a new low. Some German “artist” douche put Legos in the holes in buildings in an Italian town.

Crumbling walls in Italian town Bocchignano are being repaired — with Lego Bricks.

Sporting the denim overalls and checked shirt for this village was German artist Jan Vormann, whose approach centered on finding walls with missing bricks and replacing them with the colorful children’s building material.

The wacky artist was surprised to find how perfect the bricks fit the bill.

“At first I thought it would be a complicated procedure to fit the pieces,” Vormann said. “But as it turned out, the bigger plastic pieces were compatible with the smaller ones, and the Lego held itself in place without any glue whatsoever.”

However, the 25-year-old did admit that the colorful construction could not last forever.

“I tried to apply some glue, but, on the dusty patina of the stone, it would not stick,” Vormann said. “So I decided to just put them up like this, aware of the fact of erosion and the influence of weather.”

You may be shocked to learn that Legos in the brick walls of buildings aren’t a great idea. You may as well repair the walls with positive thinking or hobo cum, all the while making the same “artistic” vision of the temporary nature of life as well as how hard it is to be an artist and not eat the vat of hobo cum you’re using for repairs.

I’m also sick of Lego invading aspect of my life. These buildings, our superheroes, they even have their own independent nation within the United States borders! When do we say “no more”? When Lego Mussolini comes in and demands our blood? We must stop the Lego menace before it destroys us all!
