2015 SAW A poor kid trip and destroy a €1.3 million painting by accidentally tripping up when walking past it.
Now 2016 has provided us with the Lego version.
A man named Zhao presented this fox at the Chinese Lego Expo last weekend
According to the BBC, it cost over €13,000 to make and took him three days to build
Within an hour of being up – and despite having a “no touching” sign out front – a young lad accidentally destroyed it when trying to take a picture
The creator took it well though, as News.com.au reports today:
The boy’s father is said to have apologised to Zhao after the incident, but the teacher sympathised and said he would not be seeking compensation for the loss.
Zhao said: “The boy is young, and besides the staff are responsible too for not keeping an eye on the sculpture.”
Of course, such events were always going to make great meme material
Whoops!

But really, the fox represents all of us
2am, middle of the dancefloor
3am, in Abra getting a kebab
7am, waking up
