  • SpikeX, on 07/12/2009, -1/+8I don't know... for some reason, these look fake. Maybe it's just me.
  • jaygeeze, on 07/12/2009, -0/+2A for effort
    F for execution
  • blipblopblip, on 07/12/2009, -0/+1negative, bubble gum is awesome.
  • zagatbuzz, on 07/12/2009, -1/+2The bubbles are particularly awesome. I can't decide if this is making me want some chewing gum right now - or whether I never want gum again.

  • OldPizza, on 07/12/2009, -2/+1This is from 1999. Original: http://www.simonedecker.com/WorksChewinginVenice10 ...
  • JonTheGoose, on 07/12/2009, -2/+1Sometime around the 1950s
  • gantz9x, on 07/12/2009, -2/+1That's why we don't litter.
  • Biohazard6601, on 07/12/2009, -2/+1the "organ" youre thinking of is a muscle, and whens the last time you actually saw one?
  • fabriciom, on 07/12/2009, -2/+1Right after Andy Warhol started mass marketing it.
  • twiztidsinz, on 07/12/2009, -2/+1"#6 Female organ of the sexual kind"
    I think you need to be a little bit more discerning with the females you choose to interact with on a sexual basis... it looks infected.
  • SnapEpicPwnage, on 07/13/2009, -2/+0Lmao...
  • theunclear, on 07/13/2009, -2/+0why would there be a big bubble gum blocking the street?
    retarded
  • AnimaStomp, on 07/12/2009, -3/+1Twizzlers> Gum
  • QubitTarutaru, on 07/12/2009, -4/+2fake
  • inactive, on 07/12/2009, -3/+0Verruca Salt made that!
  • cryonix, on 07/12/2009, -5/+2ha ha, I'm surprised with so many "Photoshop experts" on digg that no one noticed how horribly photoshopped these are. Not to sound like a cliche, but the shadows are all wrong. Its clear they are photos of small pieces of gum imposed on larger scale scenes with the photo grain differences.
  • thebozenator, on 07/13/2009, -3/+0I don't get it, why do all these comments suck?
  • WunderTroll, on 07/12/2009, -7/+4That must have required a GIANT MOUTH!
  • ADINSX, on 07/12/2009, -9/+4i see pixels
  • mhuggins, on 07/12/2009, -7/+1Gross, talk about eye sores.
  • ChromaVita, on 07/12/2009, -8/+2It'd be cool to use this material for installations on statues. Take a really serious sculpture of a guy riding a horse and make it look like the horse stepped in gum. Or make it look like the person is blowing a giant bubble.
  • mannbarepig, on 07/12/2009, -7/+1I was in Venice yesterday and I didn't see any of those...
