Airline workers kill time by drawing a giant dick next to one of their planes.

Ryanair thinks planes look like winged wieners.



The now-deleted tweet that took off like one of Ryanair's flying dicks.
(via The Telegraph)
The low-budget Irish airline Ryanair is known for cheeky PR stunts, but this viral image of a phallus etched into the tarmac next to a plane at Dublin Airport by its workers apparently wasn't orchestrated by management. The image was spread on social media after a certain Brendan Keary posted it on Twitter, although he has since deleted the Tweet and admitted he himself found it from someone else on Facebook. Wherever it was originally from, it caused enough of a stir that a Ryanair spokesperson was forced to comment on it, saying:

While our ground crew excel at industry leading 25-minute turnarounds, art isn't their forte, as they've clearly forgotten to draw wings on their snow airplane.

Much like their flights, Ryanair can apparently get a lot of mileage out of a potential public relations flap without spending very much money.

Hard at work.
If you look closely, you can see that the penis was drawn with someone's feet—they dragged one along, but you can see the other footsteps outside the outline of the penis. The parts with no footsteps happened when Jesus was drawing it.

Women who undergo plastic surgery are wearing a "burqa made of flesh", according to a Vatican document which also warns that cosmetic procedures "amputate" human expression from the face.

The discussion paper, produced by a panel of female consultants to the Pontifical Council for Culture in advance of a meeting in Rome this week, argues that plastic surgery is "aggressive" towards the feminine identity and can be linked to eating disorders and depression.

I wouldn't even necessarily disagree with the general sentiment but hahjeeez Vatican that wording ...

Police: 6-year-old boy 'kidnapped' for being too nice to strangers

(CNN)A 6-year-old boy in Missouri endured an emotional four-hour staged kidnapping because his family thought he was being too nice to people he didn't know, police said Thursday.

The four people involved in the alleged plot -- the boy's mother, grandmother, aunt and a co-worker of the aunt -- have been charged with kidnapping and other felonies, the Lincoln County Sheriff's Office said.

"Family members told investigators their primary intent was to educate the victim and felt they did nothing wrong," the press release said.

During his reported ordeal the boy was lured into a pickup after getting off his school bus, tied up, threatened with a gun, taken to a basement where his pants were removed, and told he could be sold into sex slavery, police said.

The boy was told in the truck by Nathan Wynn Firoved, the aunt's co-worker, that he would never "see his mommy again," and he would be "nailed to the wall of a shed," the sheriff's statement said.

"The victim remained in the basement for some time before he was unbound and told to go upstairs, where the victim's family lectured him about stranger danger," the statement said.

The suspects kept each other updated throughout the incident on cell phones, police said.

The boy's mother, Elizabeth Hupp of Troy, is charged with felony kidnapping and felony abuse and neglect of a child. The grandmother, Rose Brewer; the aunt, Denise Kroutil; and Firoved are also charged with felonious restraint.

The boy was placed into protective custody after he told school officials Wednesday what had happened to him.

CNN has been trying to track down lawyers for the accused, but has been unable to locate information on the attorneys.
