They do say modern problems call for modern solutions and one man found the ultimate cheat code to fixing his city’s potholes... drawing giant, obscene shapes around them.
Meet the anonymous hero known as "Wanksy." He lives in Manchester, England, and he was tired of driving over dangerous craters that the city refused. He'd call them in and report them, but it took months and sometimes years before anything was done.
Annoyed, he took matters into his own hands. He didn't fill the holes, he just grabbed spray paint and drew massive, cartoonish anatomy around them.
His logic was simple. The city didn't care about a hole in the road, but they definitely cared about a giant ph***ic symbol right outside a school or a church.
The city council was furious. They called his actions "stupid" and "insulting." But guess what? It worked perfectly.
Potholes that had been ignored for eight months were suddenly filled and paved over within 48 hours just to cover up his art.
