Teen paints giant penis on parents’ roof

A teenager who painted a 60ft phallus on the roof of his family’s million-pound mansion got away with the prank for over a year before his parents found out.Student Rory McInnes, 18, climbed onto the flat roof of his parents’ home and daubed the phallic symbol in white paint after watching a TV programme about Google Earth, reports the Daily Telegraph.Rory’s parents, Andy and Clare, didn’t discover their son’s handiwork until a helicopter pilot spotted the oversized organ as he flew over their home near Hungerford, Berkshire.The pilot contacted The Sun who then informed Mr McInnes, who initially thought the he was the victim of a practical joke, reports AFP. He subsequently phoned each of his four children to find the truth.When he spoke to Rory, who is currently in Brazil on a gap year, the teenager simply said “Oh, you’ve found it then”, reports the Telegraph.Luckily, Mr McInnes appeared to take the park in good humour although he told The Sun that “when Rory gets home he will be given a scrubbing brush and white spirit and he can go and scrub it off."The McInnes’ massive rooftop member is an enlarged replica of the most prominent feature of the Cerne Abbas Giant (pictured), an 80ft figure of a naked man carved into the side of a chalk hill in Dorset.
