An 18-year-old has secretly painted a 60ft drawing of a phallus on the roof of his parents' £1million mansion in Berkshire. It was there for a year before his parents found out. They say he'll have to scrub it off when he gets back from travelling.BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/newsbeat/newsid_7961000/7961224.stm).

:D

[theDUB]

Ha, it was there for a year.

[és:]

Top prank, lad. Top prank.

[iBlue]

That is just shoddy work. F.

[rdowns]

I was wondering when Captain Penis would post this. :D

[themoonisdown09]

I wonder what the next door neighbors had painted on their roof...

[brad.c]

Ancient news, although mansion tagging is taking it to a new level.

Funny.

Never know what you might see from the air looking down. :D

[Sun Baked]

Always a lot more fun to do it on the homes and businesses in the airport landing path.

Ancient news…

Aparently not so ancient after all…
Saw on telly the other night that the Cerne Abbas giant is actually Oliver Cromwell. :D

[nplima]

was the mansion worth £1M before or after the painting?

[michael.lauden]

i wonder how much paint that took. too bad it's not like... elegant

Well played. :D

Gah, was just about to post this! Curse you mroogle!

He was probably hoping it would sit there for a couple of years until Google Maps took a picture of it, there used to be something written in the crops near Edinburgh Airport (although that was probably targeted at passing planes!)

I'd say that is a MRoogle success! :)


I wonder if this sort of thing will become more and more common, especially for the sake of advertising. "Ooooh look, the Nike forest, the Starbucks wheat field, the microsoft sand dunes."

[mkrishnan]

Perhaps it was modesty? It seems he could have made it quite a bit longer. ;)

Personally I don't think the nuts are a great success…

That is great!@!!!!!!

I think he could have made it quite a bit more cock-like.

Well, what do you expect these days from the lazy kids of the wealthy.

I'm really surprised that he actually stooped to manual labor carrying paint onto the roof and getting his hands dirty.

Personally, the expected poor performance was probably par for the class.

In rural areas in the states you will see quite a few air signs painted on roofs and such. Some are as simple as the town name which is handy for navigation. Others are more specific such as good places to eat. After all pilots are known to fly to places to eat, er. conduct extensive training missions. ;)

I don't recall seeing much when I flew over in Germany or here in Asia.

Who knows, maybe someday we'll see neon lights pointed to the sky for advertising. :)

[SFStateStudent]

Hilarious!!! Well done youngster.....:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

[dvdhsu]

Yeah.
Mommy!
What's that?

Definitley. Just not on your own house.
was the mansion worth £1M before or after the painting?
I dunno. Maybe worth more after the painting?:D

That would be great! Imagine that on Google Maps!

Yeah. It's quite incredible that these rich kids would actually do that. Maybe he hired somebody?

[ucfgrad93]

Very funny!:D

[arkitect]

Maybe he hired somebody?

Well if he had hired Banksy the house would be worth a lot more than a miilion.
:D

[TuffLuffJimmy]

Strange, since this is from the UK I had expected that it would be intact and uncut...

[Tomorrow]

Sweet Jeebus, that's too funny :D:D Hope the house is near an airport!

[brad.c]

I thought the horizontal like a trifle oversized...

Very true… but I guess the artist wasn't after correct detail, more a kind of primitive phallic symbolism.
;)

[Jaffa Cake]

Actually, it's all a big misunderstanding. The young lad in question overheard his parents saying that they'd like to have a cock on the roof and he misinterpreted what they were after...

Of all the cockamamie things kids do these days...it's impressive this guy had the balls to go through with it.

[brad.c]

I wonder if the father ever pulled the old "...while you under MY roof" nugget before, and this is the kids' response.

[yellow]

Coincidence that this news blurb is posted in BBC's "News BEAT"?

I think not! :)

I imagine a lot of outlets will try to insert it this evening.

I imagine it made his parents rather testy when they found out.

[rdowns]

I hope the roof holds up otherwise there would be a gaping hole. :rolleyes:

[Drumjim85]

That happened at my HS. The traffic helicopter noticed it and called it in.
i wish i still had the picture.

He painted the gaping hole graphic around the pool. ;)

[Thomas Veil]

Amazing, the levels of pure dumbness some people will go to for a gag.

[thegoldenmackid]

Senior Prank at the local high school, it took a couple of months until a newscopter finally discovered it though. (With that being said, I do not attend this school)

can't help myself but it looks more like a lousy photoshop thing.

and if true then it's dump to paint it on your own parents house. lame.

That is the best senior prank EVER. EVER.

There used to be a penis painted on that roof of the school down the road from me. Either it's been removed by google or it's been painted over cos there is now a white box over it! :( boo boring

I think it may still be on google earth but images ae updated on google maps

[lord patton]

mine's bigger

Yes, but we are talking about descriptions of your personality/ego. ;p

jeez, can't a guy be proud of his roof?

[Sun Baked]

I thought you were proud of being outgoing enough to be considered a 60-foot dick. My Bad. :p

[63dot]

I was painting my grandmother's old fixer upper in the mid-'90s with my friend and across a 20 ft. diagonal he painted, "Metallica lives here" in white paint on a black flat roof. Years later the house sold. He painted it on two lines so it could be seen from a helicopter or low flying airplane.

It's not as shocking as the OP's picture, but it had the full effect of using a decent rendition of their classic lightning bolt logo.

Metallica does not live in a small fixer upper and probably lived in the city or north of it in Marin County in Mansions. :)

That is the best senior prank EVER. EVER.

At my high school we used to have bird feeders. The senior class I wanna say 3 or so years ago put laxatives into the feeders. HAHAHAHAHA

I thought that was pretty brilliant, but the giant dick-on-the-roof thing is funny too. :D

Speaking of which, that Lonely Island CD has a track called ****-in-a-box.

You think those 30m-high neon advertising boards around Japanese airports are for passing motorists?

[That-Is-Bull]

What a dick, if he were my kid I'd give him a serious beating. Is he thick or something? It's surprising for a rich, clean-cut kid to do that though, seems more like something a hairy "hipster" who hangs with nuts would do. I bet his neighbor is an a**hole too.

Shouldn't the word be whacking? Or is my slang different from yours? :D

Well, I wanted to avoid any possible innuendo. You know how amateur kids are these days - they'll take a firm (if not bulging) statement, jerk it around and offspring a mess of the original point.

[Counterfit]

What a dick,

That's what she said.

Some friends of a friend of mine drew an enormous penis in the snow on a pond in Connecticut, it showed up on Google Earth and was there for a few years, just looked for it and it's been replaced with new imagery...shame. Don't know why I didn't take a screen grab of it.

[Melrose]

If he's drawing from his own experience, those are the tiniest nads in the world.
