Fed up with your local council not fixing potholes?
Draw a DICK around the problem and see what happens.
This seems to be working for anonymous artist "Wanksy" who's been spray-painting penises around his town's problematic potholes. The road vigilante says the streets in Ramsbottom (yes!), Greater Manchester, UK are in an appalling state. The campaigner says he has cyclist friends who have been injured by hitting the potholes.
One pothole had been there for eight months but, once "Wanksy" penis-painted it, the hole was patched in 48 hours.
He's been called a "hero" by his Facebook fans, but a council spokesman claims his actions are stupid, and insulting to the community: "Has this person, for just one second, considered how families with young children must feel when they're confronted by these obscene symbols as they walk to school? Not only is this vandalism, but it's also counter-productive. Every penny we have to spend cleaning off this graffiti is a penny less we have to spend on actually repairing the potholes!"
Eeeeeee, by gooom...!
Still, it's one way thatPenis People Power can get things done, because councils around the world otherwise seem to drag their dicks on road repairs. And, if they'd fixed the problem when it had first appeared...
Hell, imagine if this was done in Christchurch at the moment: every earthquake-damaged street would be a sausage-fest of willy art!!
I'm certain that "Banksy" would approve...

Nice blog post, thanks for sharing information. If we are finding the best methods to repair potholes on highways, then when should have a knowledge of the cause of potholes.
