vote for the most terrifying gigantic statue of all time

Really didn't need to see an upskirt pap of the jolly green giant.

there used to be a statue in Ohio called Touchdown Jesus, but it was struck by lightning and burned (before and after pics below)

if you make a flammable statue you deserve the worst

Cloth Jesus, Wire Jesus

Who knew God was a member of the Taliban.

I mean, I guess the Taliban's been saying that for years

that looks like David Tennant.

(also, wtf is it?)

looks like Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice

yep. for some reason Colin Firth's shirt in Pride and Prejudice was trending on facebook so I had to jog my memory, and that was one of the google image search results

hahaha so weird

i remember when that was in the serpentine - there were some other large sculptures there as well, a large hand iirr. anyway I swim there p much daily during the non-winter months, and swimming around and under them felt bloody odd, like I was a Lilliputian or something.

Is that some kind of hybrid of Charlie Brown and the Yellow Kid?

it's caillou, a canadian character for preschoolers

You're both kinda right, I think

it looks like squidward from spongebob squarepants

I think this is on the smaller side but

I love that. It's almost like a Giger piece.

yikes at starved bodhisattva... the chest veins!

not gigantic, but there's a starved boddhisatva statue at an arts center I was at yesterday that is modeled after Kate Moss

Another one from the same Irish sculpture park as the boddhisattva:

I bet they were surprised when he popped up in the middle of their construction site

I feel like they're trying to entrap him like lilliputians, hence his miffed expression

Man, that's amazing.

woah

Not quite on the same scale as some of these, but Swindon's Wish Hounds have a certain eerie presence.

where is that? it's amazing!

Wat Theppitak Punnaram (White Buddha), Nakhon Ratchasima. The white big Buddha is a impressive 45 meters tall statue belonging to the Wat Theppitak Punaram temple in Thailand, located in Phaya Yen, Pak Chong district, Nakhon Ratchasima province.

I wonder how they decide on the size, like one person suggests 40 meters everybody's v enthusiastic but in comes the new kid HOW ABOUT... forty FIVE!!?? endless applause

Maybe its just a matter of budget

ha, well actually ...

The elevation of the statue of 112 meters or 56 Thai Wa above ground level refers to the 56 goodnesses of Buddhism. The total of 1,250 steps of the two paths left and right leading uphill to the statue signify the number of disciples of the Lord Buddha who assembled on Magha Puja Day without prior notice. The height of the statue of 45 meters means the number of years Buddha spent in teaching the people after he had attained enlightenment
