Video: Giant phallus erected to end drought begins to crack

[webfact]

Sadly, the clay phallus built in the middle of the road by villagers in Yothaka, Chachoengsao in the central region of Thailand to appeal to the gods for rain is losing some of its vigor.

 

In fact cracks started to appear after only a week. 

 

Large fizzures are forming in the sides and it could be destined for flaccidity very soon. 

 

A video featured a man suggesting that some tape might be applied to the unusual phallus in the meantime. 

 

The villagers turned to the gods and held a ceremony after sculptors made the phallus and painted it.

 

But so far there has only been drizzle and the salinity of the water for crops remains too high. 

 

What rain there has been along with the blazing sun has caused the cracks, reported 77kaoded.

Just beginners in the phallus game over there on the mainland.

Now this one on Samui IS a giant phallus.

It has been in its current location for 10 - 15 years

Cemen no goo

[Hamus Yaigh]

It all makes sense now.

 

I initially thought, when I saw the photo of a giant dick in the middle of a road without knowing the story behind it, that it was some bizarre and highly dangerous way to make cars stop at a road junction stop line, stupidly presuming drivers just ignored the solid white lines before the dick forced them to.

 

But putting a solid clay phallus in the middle of a road without any care for road safety but for the rain gods makes so much more sense.

Large fizzures is a cockeyed theory

So, it did not work and the water is no good for the crops.

 

Wonder if they will try a pair of boobs next or some lady's nether bits next

what goes up must come down, if not better call the doctor

Clearly these people have waaaay too much free time on their hands!!!

[chalawaan]

With a crack, it can be recycled as a giant Punani and save them from AIDS or something.

[holy cow cm]

Poor thing was pounded so much it got a rupture.

They're really milking this story for all it's worth, aren't they?

Not sure they're cracks. Think they might be veins.
