Russians honour 65-metre fluorescent phallus
A Russian performance art collective has trousered a state-funded cash prize for painting a 65 metre fluorescent phallus on a St Petersburg bridge.

Depressing
I don't know which I find more depressing. The fact that adults think painting a giant willy on a bridge is a work of art, or the fact that other adults gave them money for the act because they thought it was a work of art.

well, it's nearly the same

This is sad...
You grew up next to KGB headquarters then?
I don't think you've gotten the gist.
Epic Win

Nothing new
Bored teenagers have been doing this since ancient times:
