Headline: Eyebombing: Hilarious New Street Art

Caption: PICTURE SHOWS: Eyebombed bin ......... The walls have eyes - but so do the bins, trees and lamp posts. These hilarious - and slightly creepy - images show a quirky new trend called Eyebombing. The idea is the brainchild of 'Adam', a DJ from Sweden who wanted to brighten up his life in a long, cold winter. The 28-year-old from Uppsala spends his days applying googly eyes to inanimate objects - and feels blessed he has a patient girlfriend who tolerates his constant Eyebombing activities. Adam explains: "This winter felt like it would never end, even though I just got a new girlfriend - let's call her 'C' - and was happier than ever. So I ordered a couple of hundred googly eyes online from China really really cheap, and started carrying a couple with me everywhere I went. "Very early on I walked past a pipe I eyebombed earlier with C and we met a couple of kids and their father and they were giggling so bad, thinking it was totally hilarious, and even the father seemed to enjoy it. "I remember telling C "this exact moment made it all worth it. Just this is good enough for me". And then I kept going. Sometimes alone, just walking through streets I haven't walked in a while, always looking for a good spot to make something look more alive. "Sometimes I am with C and it constantly interrupts conversation, as I stop and glue something. I’m so glad I’m with someone who won't even question this weird weird habit. She’s great."
