According to Reuters, "Hundreds of phallic sex toys have been seen hanging in recent days from power lines across Portland, Oregon, provoking laughter, blushing and lots of photos."

The rubber unmentionables, diverse in color and size, have been usually appearing in pairs as they've been strung together in order to wrap themselves around hanging cords. In typical West Coast fashion, the most extreme reaction to the dangling dongs includes some blushing, mostly laughing.

"You could spot them in several intersections and you could see all sorts of reactions to them," Portland resident Lucila Cejas Epple reported. "Most would take photos."

Portland General Electric spokeswoman Brianne Hyder assures The Oregonian that the toys pose no immediate danger, and that most calls about them have come from media rather than concerned residents.

"We just want to encourage people that it's never a good idea to bring any object into contact with overhead lines," she said. Pacific Power spokesman Tom Gauntt added, "The temptation may be there for tittering, but we want to keep the lines as safe as possible."
