You know what it's like. You're chugging along, driving or cycling, minding your own business, when suddenly there's a massive cock in the middle of the road you've got to swerve to avoid. And no, we don't mean a fellow driver...
If Banksy became the public non face of street art, he has a rival in Manchester's new road artist, Wanksy.
Like the slightly more famous public painter, Wanksy is also concerned with the big issues. One in particular. Getting dangerous potholes filled in.
On the Facebook page for the artist, the activity is described as 'taking direct action by using art to highlight the dangerous potholes that damage our vehicles and harm cyclists on a daily basis' and it seems to be working, as the artist says many of the holes he adds a giant comedy phallus to are filled in within days, as the image below suggests. Such precise workmanship would lead you to believe that there was never a pothole there in the first place...

Now our very own Wanksy has been capturing media attention locally, nationally and even internationally with his penis shaped protests reaching as far as the US of A.
Critics, mainly from the local council, have complained that, ironically, money which should be used to repair roads is having to be used to clean up the saucy graffiti, but Wanksy says he uses the same paint used to identify potholes in the first place, so it isn't permanent.

So what do you think? Is it art? Is it graffiti? Is Wanksy a hero or a, well, you decide.
