If you wander into a neighborhood and see shoes hanging from the power lines, you might want to make sure you’re not wearing anything that could be mistaken for gang colors. If you see a bunch of sex toys… you’re probably in Portland, Oregon, where the residents take the motto “Keep Portland Weird” very seriously.
“Hundreds” of multi-colored dildos were tangled in pairs around power and telephone lines across Portland, which led to a flurry of social media documenting the strange situation. Via the Philly Voice:
The large white and bright-orange dildos appear to have been strung together in pairs, and have prompted numerous reports to the Portland Office of Neighborhood Involvement, department spokeswoman Lisa Leddy said on Monday.
A spokesman for public utility Portland General Electric said he did not believe the rubber products posed a fire hazard.
There are currently no suspects in what shall now be known as the Great Portland Dildo Caper. And now, what you all came for… pictures of dildos hanging from utility lines.
