Worlds largest graffiti phallus.

Via Pravda (no, not the BBC) we have the following piece of incredibly imaginative (in the sense of where it was placed rather than the actual drawing) “artwork” drawn on a swing bridge opposite Russia’s FSB headquarters in St Petersburg :

A funny and yet immoral incident took place in the cultural capital of Russia, St. Petersburg at night of June 14. The drivers, who did not manage to cross the Neva River before the bridges had been raised, became witnesses of something absolutely unforgettable. When the Liteiny Bridge was being raised, the people around could notice that there was something unusual in the process. When the two parts of the bridge stood out, everyone saw a giant picture of the penis on it. The infamous graffiti measured about 65 meters long and 27 meters across.

The gigantic phallus on the Liteiny Bridge appeared in front of the building of the Federal Security Bureau Directorate of St. Petersburg. The members of the art group made the drawing at about 1:30 a.m. when the bridge was already empty, but not opened. It took them only 23 seconds to draw the infamous graffiti: they simply poured the white paint out from canisters onto the asphalt surface.

Now, can anyone tell me if there is a bridge like that opposite MI5 headquarters in London and, if so, does B&Q have an offer on gloss right now?
