Teenager paints giant phallus on roof of parents' home
dailymail ^ | 24th March 2009

A teenager inspired by an ancient fertility symbol has painted a 60ft-long phallus on the new roof of his parents £1million house. Rory McInnes, 18, decided to give aerial observers an eyeful, with the aid of a tin of white paint, after watching a documentary on Google Earth. But the imposing member remained a closely-guarded secret for a year before it was 'discovered' by a helicopter pilot flying over the area, who let his passengers take photos. Fortunately for Rory, he was already safely on the other side of the world when his parents found out, on a gap-year in Brazil. His father Andy McInnes at first dismissed the report as a joke. He told The Sun: 'It's an April Fool's joke, right? There's no way there's a 60ft phallus on top of my house.'

Giant member: The painting is said to be inspired by the Cerne Abbas Giant, right, an Iron Age fertility symbol carved into a chalk hill in Dorset.

Cerne Abbas Giant, an 80ft figure of a naked man which is carved into the side of a chalk hill in Dorset, south-west England. The club-wielding giant is believed to be an Iron Age fertility symbol

Or could very well have been a joke by some teens.

The best thing about the story is the parents’ reaction: wonderfully understated, dry British humor.

Trolling for a Barney Frank (a/k/a Fudgepacka) flyover, eh.

Maybe he could assume the position at the end of the ‘runway’ and hope for a perfect four point landing.
