You Couldn’t Make It Up…(Or Could You?)

Much as TheEye enjoyed the G.O.T.s posting below, the BBC reports:

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.”

No sign of it Google Earth though, which is a shame. However a personal slight suspicion lingers that the BBC might have been taken in by a Photoshop effort. The picture from the BBC website carries the label “KNS News

Reading their website we find: “kns news is on 24-hour call to serve the needs of national newspapers and magazines. Our experienced reporters working from the newsroom in Norwich are ready to cover stories across East Anglia and further afield if required.

Yes, they sound incredibly respectable, don’t they? Nice picture though.
