Statua del cazzo

Il 21-enne Rob Sumner di Stamford, Lincolnshire, per evitare di essere visto dalla polizia è andato e venuto molte volte alla rotatoria stradale nei 40 minuti necessari a costruire un pisello di ghiaccio, una sua passione che lo ha già portato a costruire cinque monumenti simili da quelle parti.

Man who built Stamford's 5ft tall snow penis owns up

Sculpting a 5ft tall snow penis beside a roundabout during the dead of night is a tricky job, according to the man who built one in Stamford. Rob Sumner dived into the hedgerows several times to avoid being spotted by police during the 40 minutes it took him to construct the ice sculpture on the corner of Uffington Road and Priory Road. Twenty-one-year-old Rob told stamfordpeople: "I didn't know if they would see the funny side or not, so I thought it best to hide. "Friends told me two police officers had knocked it down tonight - so taking cover while I was building it was probably the best move." By the time Rob started the sculpture, almost opposite the entrance to Morrisons, he had already built five other penises - of varying sizes - around the town. "I don't sleep very well and after a friend asked me to build one in his driveway the idea kind of snowballed. "I started shortly after midnight on Wednesday and finished about 5am - although I did pop home to dry my gloves and fill my flask. "By the time I went off to work in Cambridge shortly after 6am my back was killing me." But why did Rob select such a saucy subject matter? "I saw the igloo in Wharf Road and I quite liked it - so I thought I'd do something that would be talked about. "I picked a penis because I knew it would get a reaction - whether good or bad. "And I chose the verge near the roundabout because I knew lots of people would see it there. "I think most people have seen the funny side. "It's the first time I've done anything like this - although I have made a snowman before when I was a kid."
