Giant Penis Seen From Space

I'm guessing there was no soy involved.

Google Earth finds huge prep school willy

STOCKTON-ON-TEES, England, Dec. 13 (UPI) -- Pranksters drew a willy on the roof of a top British prep school that was so big it could be seen from space -- and, in fact, was found on Google Earth.

A couple of former students from the Yarm School in Stockton-on-Tees -- an elite school whose tuition is $5,700 a term -- "hopped over the school fence on a weekend and went unnoticed by guards," a former student told London's Sun newspaper.

"They managed to get on the roof of the Friary building and somehow mark on the willy," the student continued. "They also burnt a manhood into the grass."

The shape on the roof has been scrubbed off, but it could still be seen on Google Wednesday.

"If users spot something offensive, we would consider having it removed," Google said.

26. Funny, but why didn't this post get moved to the DU Lounge?

Somebody's asleep at the switch?

I'm just jealous, that's all.

2. Oh, come on!

There's a lot of reasons to blank out portions of the map, like for national security reasons, but for a penis? How prudish and ashamed of the human body do you have to be!?

3. Too bad it wasn't a giant brain, but those overprivileged brats

would be picking lettuce if their overprivileged parents hadn't sent them to that overpriced school. They have no idea what a brain is or what it's used for.

18. Only Wisconsinites will get why that's funny

[GreenZoneLT]

30. They pick lettuce in England?

I thought working-class English people worked in dark, satanic mills or sheared sheep.

5. I never found the penis to be offensive...

..Giant crucifixes on the other hand.

24. LOL!

Great title! :D

[SeattleVet]

15. They sound surprised that the image is still there, but Google Earth's

imagery is usually a few YEARS old. The penis could have been removed a couple of years ago, and it would still be in the images that are currently available.

For example, if I go to my own address I see the school on the next block undergoing a full renovaiton - which was completed about 5 years ago.

Anyway, if you're curious about this, the location of the school is 54.3022 N 1.2107 W

22. I know. The image of my neighborhood shows my old neighbor's broke-ass truck

sitting in the street illegally.

Thankfully, those people moved.

"The last time I saw it, it was as big as Florida." (This makes sense in the context of the story.)

19. When I read the headline, I thought the article was about me.

[jgraz]

23. Really, people often refer to you as a great big dick?

21. Okay, that's funny. But it's been done before.

I wonder what the coordinates are for the rude man of cerne?

But the coverage of Britain is fairly patchy, so you can't get a good picture of large parts of the country. So to speak. :D

[Cleita]

42. Scholars think it's Hercules because of the club, the one

he's carrying, that is, not the other one.

The Google ads at the top only say how to stretch mine 3 inches.
