A school found itself in an unusual controversy after attempting to cover up a massive 65-foot drawing resembling a penis that was spotted on Google Maps.
Students are known for pulling pranks. From throwing toilet paper to setting off stink bombs, creative mischief is common in schools. However, one prank in Germany went to an entirely new level.
Giant rooftop drawing spotted on Google Maps
The Waldorf School in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district became the talk of the town. A massive 65-foot-long drawing appeared on its flat rooftop. The image was so large that it was visible on Google Maps.
According to German news outlet “Bild”, the prankster used white paint to create the enormous artwork. The identity of the artist remains unknown.
The culprit has yet to be identified. Some speculate that street artists may be responsible. Others believe students might have created it as a joke.
“Who is behind it – maybe street artists? Or were they students who still laugh at embarrassing ‘d**k jokes’?”, the outlet has asked.
Local residents noticed the drawing between March and July 2022.
People living in nearby high-rises had a clear view. Eventually, school authorities attempted to cover it up. However, even after painting over the edges, the enormous shape remained visible.
A school known for encouraging creativity
The Waldorf School is famous for its unique educational philosophy.
Founded in 1919, Waldorf education blends artistic and physical activities with academics. The school emphasizes creativity.
However, rooftop artwork of this nature was likely not what educators had in mind.
Interestingly, reports suggest that the rooftop drawing is 138 times larger than the average human anatomy size. Dr. Chun Tang, a medical director at Pall Mall Medical, commented on evolutionary changes.
He stated that human anatomy can shift over time due to evolutionary pressures and reproductive factors.
While creativity is encouraged at the Waldorf School, this prank may have taken artistic expression to new heights. Despite attempts to erase the drawing, its presence remains a reminder of one of the most unusual school pranks in recent history.
Social media reaction
The image of a 65-foot penis visible on Google Maps was quickly shared on Reddit, sparking debate among viewers.
