ASCII art generator

Write a Python program that asks the user for something that seems important to him and returns the following ASCII art (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_art):

>>> %Run
    Name something important: Testing your own code

                \|||||/               
                ( O O )                
|---------ooO-----(_)-----------------|
|                                     |
| Testing your own code is important! |
|                                     |
|-------------------------Ooo---------|
                |_||_|                 
                ||  ||                 
                ooO  Ooo

You can use the len() Python function that returns the length of a String (for example, len("Python") returns 6).

Your program must work with any length name:

>>> %Run
    Name something important: Testing your program with all kinds of different input values

                                    \|||||/                                   
                                    ( O O )                                    
|-----------------------------ooO-----(_)-------------------------------------|
|                                                                             |
| Testing your program with all kinds of different input values is important! |
|                                                                             |
|---------------------------------------------Ooo-----------------------------|
                                    |_||_|                                     
                                    ||  ||                                     
                                    ooO  Ooo                                                                               

This TILE contains the message that testing is important.
