Giant Penis Protest Hits St. Petersburg
Why stage a sit-in when you can paint a giant penis in protest? A gigantic cock was recently painted on the Liteiny Bridge in St. Petersburg by the radical art collective known as Voina (which means ‘war’). The huge phallus was created in protest of security measures planned for the International Economic Forum, an event designed to identify and deliberate key challenges that face emerging markets and the world.
The Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation (FSB) is Russia’s main domestic security agency; successor to the KGB. Now, when the bridge is raised, the erect penis stands in all it’s glory right next to FSB headquarters. Measuring 220 ft long and almost 90 feet wide (insert jealousy here), the big dick rises and shines whenever the bridge is raised to allow ships to pass underneath it. Only one of the artists has been fined for the penis so far, which was still visible as of yesterday.
