BANGKOK: -- Udon Thani netizens are enraged after a vandal drew yantra tattoos on their city’s famous rubber ducks with a marker.

 

The giant rubber duck and her little ducklings, obviously inspired by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman’s work, have been a tourist highlight for Udon Thani and a major selfie stop for tourists since 2013. So when someone decided to doodle on them, Udon netizens demanded justice for their province’s symbols.

 

Facebook page 1132 Udon City Hotline published Jan. 4 CCTV footage of Nong Prajak Silpakorn Park, where the ducks are displayed.

I would imagine the esteemed Mod Metisdead will be upset by this duck cruelty

Jeez! Get some rubbing alcohol and wipe it off. It is not the end of the world!

 

OMG if a farang did that i won't go out tonight. 

 

By the way, did they pay royalties to the "artist" who designed them?

Maybe it's the signature of that Dutch artist who designed them? These are just copy copy of his originals right?

"...Udon netizens demanded justice for their province’s symbols..."

 

Yep, they'd better quack-down on this "ill-intentioned" act !!!

 

If could get ugly if the ducklings should take to the streets in protest.

 

 

 

What can one say , quack, quack..............................

"famous rubber ducks" "tourist highlight for Udon Thani" .... There must be little else worth of interest in that one-buffalo town. 

 

As for that Dutch "artist" ....  The less said, the better.

There must be a reason why mainly Asians pay big money to have his ducks in their harbours. Except the Thai i guess, they just do copy copy and even brag about it. Now wait untill he hears about that.

 

What the duck?

The PM  should make it No.1 priority to get to the bottom  of this crucial issue of duck desecration. He has proven himself a master of the important things in life. Like footpaths for walking, bicycle tracks and lotto regulations. 

Donald and Mickey did it as fed up with nonpayment of copyright fees

Kidnap, enslave and murder, and you don't hear as much as a quack. but draw on a duck and your goose is cooked

I think i'm not allowed to put the link here but BKK-post has the video of the man writing on the ducks.  Believe it or not but those ducks are under constant video surveillance.

 

He is not a farang i can tell which is great news. I dare to go out again now but will stay far away from the markers in the bookstore, you never know.

Duck it; they probably asked for it.

Maybe the local netizens are right in crying Fowl and getting in a flap about the defiling of their ducks and are justified in giving the culprit a roasting on the internet.

Or maybe their splashing around isn't worth getting stewed up about.

Eider way, a gander at some of the replies has generated some interesting food for thought.

If the culprit is caught before legging it and is put up before the beak maybe they'll get their just desserts. Instead of winging it with some half cocked defence perhaps the culprit will make a clean breast of it and admit all with the illegal use of the Pen.

Hopefully they won't end up doing bird for this half baked act resulting in such a heinous crime........

Oh, those infamous and so-ever-anonymous Netizens! Always in a spin about something. Now it's duckies.

To echo Rhett Butler when asked a similar question......."Frankly my duck, I don't give a quack!"
