      The real link. Gizmodo's summary is truly life-changing material but you might want to skip it ...
      "There's not much to add to this other than "ha ha, you got penis'ed", but we're somewhat curious as to how this thing went down. Was this a prank from a rival school? Was it self-inflicted? Is this their mascot? (Go Fighting Wangs!) Is it still there? We suppose it's pretty apropos that the school is located on Shaft Road. "
      • Laxaloot, on 12/07/2007, -2/+6Um..... anyone else find it amusing that its by shaft road?
  • ripstuntz, on 12/06/2007, -0/+160Imagine how the pranksters felt!
    Not only was the dick beautifully executed but Google Maps caught it.
    Amazing.
    • joshhan, on 12/06/2007, -1/+26ya know? I don't think dick and executed should be in the same sentence.
    • antoinewalker, on 12/06/2007, -0/+31It's quite the accomplishment... I would put it on my resume.
    • mydigga, on 12/06/2007, -2/+3It's almost like they accidentally made a porno.
    • stackered, on 12/06/2007, -2/+2Every single snow day at my school for the last 2 years: snow penis.
    • BuhSnarf, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1Although one ball is bigger than the other... Fantastic prank. Wonder what it looks like from ground level.. Is it that obvious?
  • lazyeyesam, on 12/06/2007, -3/+62http://maps.google.com/maps?q=N+Cedar+St+%26+Shaft ...
  • windowi, on 12/06/2007, -2/+215and sadly its located on 'shaft' road
    • jaadfoo, on 12/06/2007, -0/+41and many of the surrounding streets (as well as the cross street) are varieties of wood
      • GeckoSlayer, on 12/06/2007, -0/+9Not to mention the closest highway, E Broad St.
        • Matt174e, on 12/06/2007, -0/+8And the dick is pointed up beside E Spring St.
    • ssavoy, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2Wow. This school is like 30 minutes away from me.
  • unicronband, on 12/06/2007, -4/+144Ladies and gentlemen, we have a wiener.
    • andregriffin, on 12/07/2007, -0/+8The tags for the article are the best.

  • thecarpe, on 12/06/2007, -8/+2Standing on the sidelines isn't a bad gig from 5000 ft...depending which side of the field you're on, of course.
  • bwhite, on 12/06/2007, -14/+2That isn't a penis .. that is a middle finger flipping the bird, the pinky just isn't visible.

    The squirt .. uh ...
  • BevansDesign, on 12/06/2007, -6/+37Not quite as good as renting 1,000 plastic flamingos and covering the field with them.

    Yes, you can rent plastic flamingos.
    • TitanX13, on 12/06/2007, -0/+28have fun collecting them afterward. when you have to return them...
    • paprgrl, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1lol, already been done...search "bascom hall flamingos" for the famous Pail and Shovel party's antics at University of Wisconsin Madison...
  • ufia, on 12/06/2007, -9/+85Googleshopped! I can see the aerial pixels. Shadows are all wrong.
    • egudahl, on 12/06/2007, -30/+3Kind of hard to claim its googleshopped when they provide a link directly into google maps. I agree at first glance the shadows look funky, but after a moments thought easy to see why:: These are not shadows from flat roofed buildings. They are shadows cast by grandstand seats on opposite sides of the field --i.e. they slanted in different directions so they face toward the field from opposite sides.
      • spudnic, on 12/06/2007, -1/+32Hmm, I dunno, I think ufia has seen a lot of pixels in his time
      • saferwaters, on 12/06/2007, -1/+26@egudahl - I'm sorry, but I had to digg you down for the lack of a sarcasm detector :( I do like how you repeated "googleshopped" as if it were a real term, though.
      • Locke2053, on 12/06/2007, -0/+19According to a 2005 study, people who have brain damage in their prefrontal lobes are incapable of recognizing sarcasm.

        The American Psychological Association has a write-up on the research: http://www.apa.org/releases/sarcasm.html

        I'm just pointing this out randomly, I'm not intending to make any inference that you have brain damage. Obviously, you are a man who can recognize sarcasm when he sees it.
    • OttawaMarcin, on 12/07/2007, -11/+1lol, it's on googlemaps. check the link
  • Foot56, on 12/06/2007, -8/+23This reminds me Superbad is out on dvd....

  • zeyad, on 12/06/2007, -0/+34left ball's bigger!
  • Doomsan, on 12/06/2007, -7/+2This joke never gets old...
  • dhVyse, on 12/06/2007, -0/+5Classic prank that every senior at that school will remember for a lifetime.
  • aguynamedjoe36, on 12/06/2007, -0/+26this is only good if it is pointing to the visitor's bench.
  • ryannnn, on 12/06/2007, -4/+104I'm reporting this image, per the SAFE act
  • scottique, on 12/06/2007, -6/+18I always wonder why people drawing junk draw the balls like that. I have never seen a guy whose balls straddle their dick like that; it looks like a pair of scrotums with one ball each. Seriously, does that ever happen? To anybody? Why do they get drawn like that?
  • crimsonnblue, on 12/06/2007, -12/+5LOLOL.. omfg. This school was in our League. I remember hearing about this in 04...
  • Namakemono, on 12/06/2007, -0/+40I've always been baffled at why us males are driven to draw, sculpt, or paint ***** & balls. I bet there are ancient cave paintings somewhere like this. This can't be a new phenomenon.
  • roadtripper, on 12/06/2007, -0/+80Groundskeeper. Willie.
  • vanscott, on 12/06/2007, -1/+19sacked
  • GvnMcCld, on 12/06/2007, -9/+4I thought it was a loaf of bread with two kaiser rolls...
  • Extraneous, on 12/06/2007, -5/+0Ho! The White Whale approaches!
  • jw1223, on 12/06/2007, -6/+1Great Kid, Don't get penisy!
  • scitz0frenic, on 12/06/2007, -7/+1google is way behind live.com
    there is a new field there
    • iChainsaw, on 12/06/2007, -1/+4they thought it was funny so they kept it
  • mefromafar, on 12/06/2007, -0/+17Link to the story on a local newspaper.

  • TomPhoolery, on 12/06/2007, -3/+3that's pretty ***** good, actually
  • subcomandante, on 12/06/2007, -1/+5Skeet skeet skeet!!
  • c64fan, on 12/06/2007, -8/+1This is three blocks from my parents' house. The prank actually happened a few years ago. Good timing.
    • chrismgtis, on 12/06/2007, -2/+2Buried. Claiming OFN is annoying and who knows when this image was actually taken.
  • Darkhowling91, on 12/06/2007, -4/+12Its clearly diglet from pokemon.
  • johoshua, on 12/06/2007, -3/+3Look at the road intersections. It's next to Shaft Road. LMFAO!!
  • alkajazz, on 12/06/2007, -3/+3God bless america
  • brisslexic, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2i think it's worth noting that this article says that a drawing of a giant penis on a football field is "sophisticated"
  • GuacamoleSan, on 12/06/2007, -1/+3a) How the hell did they get away with this? propz to them
    b) theyre clearly good artists. the shaft on that penis is nice and straight.
    • 11oops, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1Easy to do since they just had to follow the yardlines.
  • Koopaloop, on 12/06/2007, -1/+2The left one is bigger
  • ruug, on 12/06/2007, -1/+11"the defense is really sticking it to the offensive line here"
    "they're grinding it out at midfield"
    "the defense is plugging the gap and making it hard for the ball carrier to find a hole"

    lol it never ends
  • dunk71, on 12/06/2007, -0/+10Eon's ago, when I was but a lad, my folks went away for the weekend and left me at home. I, of course, threw a huge party that got totally out of control. I thought I'd covered up all the evidence pretty well but missed one detail... When my dad looked out his 2nd floor bedroom window he could quite clearly see that someone had used his new lawnmower to write "***** OFF" across his prized lawn.
    This post brings it all back. Man, I was grounded for ever...
  • jrattner1, on 12/06/2007, -0/+1hahaha that is the best thing I've ever seen...god I miss going to school
  • RIPCLAW, on 12/06/2007, -3/+0Didn't realize google maps was X-rated.

    I say it was done by aliens. :)
  • stacky, on 12/07/2007, -2/+1"We suppose it's pretty apropos that the school is located on Shaft Rd"

    I mourn for the state of the English Language. Apropos means something completely different to appropriate.
    • Masterful1, on 12/07/2007, -1/+3hmm I found this

      ap·ro·pos /ˌæprəˈpoʊ/ Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[ap-ruh-poh] Pronunciation Key - Show IPA Pronunciation
      –adverb
      1. fitting; at the right time; to the purpose; opportunely.

      seems to fit my definition of appropriate
      • stacky, on 12/07/2007, -1/+2Yes but apropos is an adverb. It makes no grammatical sense.
  • hinomura, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1this is awesome. a long time ago me and some buddies used bleach (we woulda used gas but Athens, GA is podunk and gas stations close at 11 pm) to burn the word "TECH" in the UGA field before the annual UGA vs. GT game. incidentally it was the last time GT won. if anyone has old footage and looks really carefully you can see how they tried to paint over it. anyway props to these kids. great prank
  • vagrantwade, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1the dirt area across the field makes it look like the penis is being erased. I guess you could say it is being "rubbed out"...
  • tobikow, on 12/07/2007, -2/+1"Sophisticated"...?
  • machater81, on 12/07/2007, -1/+1That is in Hazleton Pennsylvania about 30 minutes from where I live. The Hazleton papers wrote about this and it began to become popular. It was a senior class prank not an opposing football team. My friend showed me this about 2 weeks ago and i have been showing like everyone in our school
  • khyberkitsune, on 12/07/2007, -1/+38=================D
  • AJay85, on 12/07/2007, -1/+1Read the tags at the bottom of the article for even more laughs from Gizmodo.
  • ErrorBorn, on 12/07/2007, -0/+3I bet the faculty were anal about that one.
  • mactheaddict, on 12/07/2007, -1/+0terrible job shaving
  • DriftAway, on 12/07/2007, -0/+1"Houston, we have a penis."
