Sex toys found dangling from power lines in Portland


Recommended Posts

Something's up in Portland, Oregon. 

Hundreds of phallic-shaped sex toys have been seen hanging in recent days from power lines across the city, provoking laughter, blushing and lots of photos from passersby.

 

The large white and bright orange dildos appear to have been strung together in pairs, and have prompted numerous reports to the Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement, department spokeswoman Lisa Leddy said Monday.

 

A spokesman for public utility Portland General Electric said he did not believe the anatomically correct rubber replicas of male genitalia posed a fire hazard. 

 

In online forums, Portlanders posted photos of dildos swaying in the wind above a number of major commercial streets, and speculated about their origins.

 

On the Reddit page r/Portland dedicated to community issues and lifestyle trends, one user floated a theory that a shipment of faulty adult toys was at the center of the racy mystery.

So this is the racy version of the "sneakers on the powerline" thing that kids have done for decades?

Not surprised, if you touch those power lines you're f****d :)

 

Most power lines in the USA are insulated, usually only high tension lines or high voltage transmission lines are not

Doesn't matter, you need to touch the line AND the ground or two lines. 

 

Both options are usually made to be hard enough to be impossible, you know besides the barrier of getting up there in the first place :p

we are talking about the potential for someone trying to get said objects down from the ground, the possibility of being grounded would be high...

Most of those kids are adults now. They just 'upgraded'.
