Pothole campaigner sprays Surrey street with phallic paintings

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/03/24/surrey_road_daubed/

A tarmac vigilante with a tin of spray paint has attempted to shame a local council into filling-in potholes in Cock Lane, Fetcham, England, by daubing penises the length of the thoroughfare.

The irate road campaigner has been dubbed the Cock Lane Crusader, after spraying their penis images around the Surrey street’s notorious potholes for the second time in six months.

The crusader first struck back in September, when The Surrey Advertiser reported that local commuters had been forced out of their cars by the pothole pornographs.

Resident Polly Birkbeck told the paper, “I said to my daughter 'hang on a minute, someone's drawn willies on the road'...There are about 15 of them, I stopped the car and counted.”

They look a bit like someone flipping the bird, I think I might have tried to tell my daughter that instead.

that is hilarious - in no way can be mistaken for someone giving the finger.
