Granted I haven’t seen them much since moving to the south some years back, but growing up in the Midwest, especially when I was going to college, I’d always spot a few each winter, sometimes in the back of someone’s pick up truck, or the front yard of a frat house or just on the edge of the sidewalk.
I don’t know about you, but when I go out and play in the snow, I don’t think, “hmmm, let’s make a giant snow penis.”
Very simple, and your OP kind of hints at the reason right there:
Many pickup truck owners (at least the stereotypical ones) and pretty much all frat boys have the mindset of a 14 year old boy. Of course they’re going to make snow penii! (yes, I know that’s not the proper pluralization form.)
I remember when I was around 13 or 14 I didn’t make snow penis sculptures but, in the giant field behind my school, I used to walk several feet in a straight line in the virgin snow, stop, walk in an arch (stopping at the apex to put one bootprint inside the arch perpendicular to it) and then walk another straight line a couple of feet over from my first straight line back to the beginning. Of course I’d look like I was just casually walking, but the intent was to make a penis with my tracks in the ground.
And a 10/12 year old boy ( in the video) is seriously saying how disgusting he found it?? I’ve taught adolescent boys for 20 years, and I am skeptical that that was his true opinion. Most kids would be giggling or at the most, eye-rolling.
It’s tacky, clueless and juvenile. If anyone other than young adolescent males are building these things then they need to get some serious help.
Oh and are they building circumcised or uncircumcised ones???LMAO
One of the major reasons people make these things is because people get so irrationally upset about them. “Oh noes! It’s a fake phallus! Run, Dorris!” It’s hard to imagine a less destructive prank.
