Giant penis is drawn in Swedish snow, locals fume, mayor says 'Who cares?'

There are a few irate Swedes in Gothenburg at the moment.

It seems they don’t like the new piece of snow grafitti that has popped up recently.

The offending artwork is a giant snow penis and was drawn on some snow that had fallen onto the ice in a park in Sweden’s capital city over the weekend.

The thing is, park officials have been approached by locals to remove it, but as they approached it they decided that the ice was too weak to support their weight.

So it’ll be there until it thaws, some time in the spring.

Darko Brankovic, director of Gothenburg’s Parks and Landscape Administration, said: "They judged that the ice would not stay put. They did not dare to go out on to the moat and consequently the artwork is there until thawing weather returns."

A beady-eyed local, Åke Lindgren, took a snap of the drawing from his apartment window and the 79-year-old said: "The penis is still there, I can still see it. But it is still a bit dangerous right now."

The city’s mayor, Anneli Hulthén, made her feelings clear on Twitter: "I can’t comment in a way that makes sense. Or, in plain language, who cares?"
