Description

BOISE, Idaho — A 60-foot phallus created by vandals on the grassy slopes beneath the governor's mansion has been fig-leafed over by work crews on their second try.
The area was recently replanted with grass seedlings and covered with straw. A previous attempt by landscapers to obliterate the image only enhanced it with a dark green outline, after which it was covered with a bright blue tarpaulin for several weeks.

The grassy graffiti appeared in July after someone applied extra-strength weed killer. Officials said at the time it was too late in the growing season to attempt to remove the image.

Snow hid the oversized phallus over the winter, but when it emerged again in the spring some neighbors had had enough.
