School's giant ****-up for world to see

[rak]

I wish I had done this, its the sort of prank we'd get up to high school.. maybe I still can...

Six giant penises in schoolyard
Drawn with weedkiller
Not funny. Not funny at all

CROP circles might be known for their beauty and paranormal allure, but the giant phalluses etched into the field of a New Zealand high school hold no such mystique.

Fairfield College, in the North Island town of Hamilton, has been snapped by satellite cameras with six huge penises burnt into the grass.

The x-rated images, immortalised on the website Google Earth, were spotted by Kiwi David McQuoid while scanning the neighbourhood online looking for a property.

"At first I thought it was a large piece of artwork," he said of the shot, which shows cartoon-like phalluses of various sizes, some several metres across.

Publicity around the so-called Fairfield Phalluses has embarrassed the school's acting principal Gerhard van Dyk, who told the Waikato Times it was hard enough to deal with when the prank was pulled back in 2009.

It happened over a weekend but it wasn't until the grass died off bit by bit that phallic symbols started to pop up around the school grounds.

Every week another crude image revealed itself, much to the dismay of staff.

"There's not really much we could do about it," he told the newspaper.

"The caretaker took some more weedkiller and tried to camouflage it a bit."

Mr van Dyk never caught the culprits and the prank would no doubt have passed into schoolboy folklore had it not been captured by Google Maps.

The red-faced principal said he would be contacting Google to plead for the image's removal but an internet privacy specialist said it was difficult to get such satellite photographs changed or blurred.

Kiwis however, thought the prank was hilarious, with 70 adding mostly encouraging comments to the online story, like "Freakin brilliant!!! Love it!!! Classic piece of adolescent artwork."

One gave the artists an A+, top marks for cunning, planning, chemistry and geometry, while another said their anatomy detailing left a lot to be desired.

"I totally reckon it was actually girls," they wrote.

Then came a confession: "HAHAHA!!! we did this as our 7th form prank, now it lives on! how awesome!"

This is the type of dedication to school boy pranks that I love to see!

If we ever figure out when Google is scanning our earth in Brisbane.. the guys here and I have decided, we're going to write something with feed killer across the city. A lot of late night ninja work.

This is hilarious

I miss the good old days when we used to play pranks at school. I think during my last couple of years we've had about 4 teachers resign. Best part was that I was never suspected since for all outside appearances I was the epitome of the Straight A student. In fact, I was that but that didn't prevent me from being one of the ringleaders!!!
