Anonymous Activist Gets Potholes Fixed By Drawing Giant Penises Around Them
The city of Manchester can ignore its residents, but thanks to Wanksy, it cant ignore the one-eyed monster.
Like many cities, Manchester, England, is plagued with potholes. One half-mile stretch of road can have as many as 70 holes . After claiming he saw his friends injured in pothole-related bike accidents, one anonymous resident has taken matters into his own hands.
He goes by Wanksy. And using what appears to be an industrial level chalk, he draws penises around the potholes, creating moments of visual terrorism that the city cant ignore. Really. Because according to the Manchester Evening News (MEN), within 48 hours of Wanksys efforts, many of Manchesters problematic potholes, which had been a nuisance for years, were filled. Within a week, even more were fixed.
"I wanted to attract attention to the pothole and make it memorable," Wanksy told MEN. "Nothing seemed to do this better than a giant comedy phallus."
A Bury council spokesman points out that "Every penny that we have to spend cleaning off this graffiti is a penny less that we have to spend on actually repairing the potholes!" But in reality, Wanksys work isnt spray-painted on, so the phallic pigments should wash away naturally within a few weeks.
Of course, the penises are an affront to public decency, but the crudeness is only deployed in the interest of public safety. Like cracks in the sidewalk, potholes are the sort of urban infrastructural problem that the public and government alike can ignore so long that they become a norm. Wanksy has effectively branded the pockmarks of urban decay with an icon that no one can disregard, while inciting the tacit threat that if you, the city, want to get rid of these penises, then you, the city, have to repair these issues of public safety.
Wanksy is already developing a fanbase in the U.S. "We need you in Madison, Wisconsin aka pothole hell," writes Matthew Schmock on the Wanksy Facebook fan page .
"Hahahah full support from Chicago. brilliant," adds Ed Harris. "We need this EXACT same thing."

Now, that'sone way to get the potholes filled!!
LMAO...this is hilarious! Send him to Michigan...voters just turned down (overwhelmingly!) a 1% state sales tax increase that was "supposed" to go to fixing the roads, bridges, etc.
...on a side note your tags, or at least the order they are in...
Hey...it worked!! Parts of Illinois could use that guy, some parts of the state are atrocious!
Sometimes the order you put the tags in, get changed around when it's posted. I didn't even look at them after I posted this.
I applaud Wanksy's creativity and sense of humor!!
lol Whatever it takes to get the job done I guess I think it was a great idea on his part!!
Here are the photos.
Wanksy is my kind of man...
And he gets the job done, with a smile.
Industrial chalk at the ready in Irving, Texas.
I better not comment...LOOLOLOL...I could get banned.
Hahahahahahahaha!! I didn't notice the tags until now. Hahahahahahahaha!!!! It's almost like text auto-correct on my phone.
And may I say those are some of the happiest penises I've seen in ages.
Snort!
It's entirely possible we are thinking the same thing.
It was a revelation to me that Anaconda's only had one eye.
How about spray paint???
How about spray paint??
Uh Oh! That could be VERY interesting!
Naughty naughty Kav!!
I didn't notice until Uppy pointed it out !!!
John Lennon's take on happiness seems relevant here :
(looking down) Those are supposedly "large" penis' that they are drawing? Large? Really? (looking down again) Large? They don't look all that big to me.
Hopefully the repair crew will be coming soon !
Asphalt on the Mouse's penis ? Ouch !
Kav...
(Anaconda_
Not soon enough!!
Poor MM....
I should have highlighted "coming" lol
Must be a hard road to hoe there in Manchester.
LOL I'll bet that road is slippery when wet...
Well, depending on ones sexual proclivities being tarred down there might be considered fun.
Not for me you understand, but I have known some people who would probably enjoy it. What the hell, it takes all kinds to fill the freeways.
Did I mention that hot asphalt is VERY hot ?

Male waxing
I know, but I have met some pretty strange people when it comes to S/M. I had a girlfriend about 22 to 23 years ago who was heavy into pain. Personally I got bored with her trip after awhile.
Well ... this goes waaaaay beyond pain and into severe physical damage .
OUCH!!!!!!
I will never understand that.....Oh well, different strokes for different folks I guess.
You should have seen how far some people go when it comes to "Body Modification" in the S/M scene. The first time I lived in L.A. in the late 80's, some slaves (especially the male ones) went to the point where it was impossible for them to have sex again...ever. They were 24/7 slaves and were owned by their Master or Mistress.
The lifestyle was interesting to be a sort of satellite member (a Master), but like I said, sometimes you get tired of it and you want just plain vanilla sex and that's not really possible with a slave. After about 2 years I just walked away from it. It was boring. I guess I was never really into it on any long term basis.
it was impossible for them to have sex again...ever. Do I dare ask how or what they had done to themselves??
