CULTURE BUZZ: A sculpture park in South Korea pays homage to all forms of sex. Filled with stone phalluses, enormous breasts and all manner of coupling, it’s a common attraction for Korean newlyweds, apparently. (Though they’re just sculptures, the links that follow are almost all NSFW).

CULTURE BUZZ: Playgrounds featuring inadvertently creepy sculptures, found mostly in Russia and China. We feel bad for the Eastern European kids that are forced to frolic around a giant sculpture of a woman with blood coming out of her eyes.
