Diabolical Dick Doodler Helps Fill Holes

A northern England ‘street artist’ going by the moniker Wanksy is shaming councils into road repairs by painting penises on pot holes. It seems to be showing signs of working too although Wanksy himself is conscious of some of the rushed repair jobs that he’s instigated. “To fix a pothole properly the council should cut a nice clean edge into the tarmac, fill it, roll it and seal it with hot tar.. Not just turn up and dump some tarmac in and roll it in.. At least they’re getting filled though.”, said Wanksy via his Facebook page.

Not everyone is a fan of the Diabolical Dick Doodler however. “Not only is this vandalism, but it’s also counter-productive. Every penny that we have to spend cleaning off this graffiti is a penny less that we have to spend on actually repairing the potholes!“, posted one critic.

Wanksy – Saint or sinner? Let us know what you think. Better still, can you think of a better headline than ours?

Mark has been riding mountain bikes for over 30 years and co-owns Singletrack, where he's been publisher for 25 years. While his official title might be Managing Director, his actual job description is "whatever needs doing" – from wrangling finances and keeping the lights on to occasionally remembering to ride bikes for fun rather than just work. He's seen the sport evolve from rigid forks to whatever madness the industry dreams up next, and he's still not entirely sure what "gravel" is. When he's not buried in spreadsheets or chasing late invoices, he's probably thinking about his next ride.
