Let's Look on the Bright Side

At least the lamb looks good?

I Had Almost Forgotten What Real Lions Look Like

Last week I went to the West Midlands Safari Park, which was a great way to celebrate Bad Lions' 30,000th pageview.

At the park, I saw some very good lions:

So noble! So fluffy!

However, these in no way made up for the plethora of Very Bad Lions running rampant all over the park. Starting, of course, with the gift shop:

Oh yeah, I definitely see the resemblance.

It didn't help that all the signs were right next to real, gorgeous lions:

So...noble?

Note to artists: there's "stylized" and then there's "terrible." And THEN there's "no no no no no no":

"WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY?"

Nice Work, Paris

A few weeks back we featured a stunning masterpiece of childhood confusion, A Lion in Paris. The book was apparently written based on a real statue in Paris. I don't think this is the statue in question, but if you google "paris lion statue", THIS is what comes up:

That is ... very big. Unnecessarily big. And then you get to the front view:

"Heeeeeey there, ladies. I'll show you something ELSE unnecessarily big. Wink, wink."

I Think There Might be Something Wrong with Your ... Everything

Artists, take note: there's a fine line between "made out of wood" and "rotting from the inside out".

And this leapt right over that line into Nightmareville.

Taxidermy: The Face Says it All

 "Oh god, here we go again ... "

 "...what the hell? Is that meant to be me?"

"You must be joking!"

"Fix it, or you'll be seeing this rotting face IN HELL."

Yeah, These Proportions Look About Right

Objects in circle may be larger than they appear.

Hopefully, anyway.
