Aroused Giant's Manhood Needs Pruning

Aroused Giant's Manhood Needs Pruning

Britain's Cerne Abbas Giant -- the famous etching in the Dorset hillside of a naked, club-wielding giant -- has long been one of the country's most remarkable tourist attractions, and now, the most remarkable part of him needs a little trim.

Indeed, between Sept. 13-20, the Cerne Abbas Giant is going to be re-chalked, as overgrown moss has obscured his prominent penis. Volunteers are welcome to help.

"How many ancient monuments around Britain do people get the chance to help maintain?" Rob Rhodes of Britain's National Trust tells Britain's Metro .

"The giant is on a par with St Paul's Cathedral and Stonehenge."

Tourists have been flocking to the immense Pagan figure -- sometimes called "Rude Man"-- since at least 1694. It's origins are unclear, but it's believed to be an ancient symbol of spirituality and fertility.

The giant has been spoofed by condom makers, clothing manufacturers, and even The Simpsons . During World War II, the giant was disguised to prevent German fighter pilots from using it as a landmark.
