Norway raises £19,000 to repair vandalised 'penis rock'



A fund set up to repair a penis-shaped rock formation in Norway has been given 160,000 kroner (£19,000) in public donations.
The Trollpikken, or "The Troll's Penis", was apparently knocked down by vandals.
Hikers found the stone, which originally came out from the rock face, resting on the ground on Saturday.
Two days later and The Troll's Penis Will Be Re-Erected appeal has received money from close to 1,000 people.



Local reports suggest someone had drilled into the rock, causing it to weaken and fall.
Police are now looking into whether it has been vandalised.
The rock formation is located in the municipality of Eigersund, in the south-west of the country.
There had been plans to attract more tourists to the Trollpikken, with the hope that it would rival another unusual rock formation - the Trolltunga or "The Troll's Tongue".





The poor man really has a stake in the country. The rich man hasn't; he can go away to New Guinea in a yacht. The poor have sometimes objected to being governed badly; the rich have always objected to being governed at all

How would you vandalize that? That seems like a lot of effort.

I could see an easy repair. Its the worlds biggest pin and glue. They need to look to the experts on our P&M site. Dakka now is our time to shine!

If previous stories about severed penises is any indicator, there is likely an angry jilted Troll-lady out roaming Norway that will not be pleased if her philandering husband's rock hard ( ) weenis is re-attached.

This had me dying, shame about the vandalism.

I suspect the vandals suffered from a seriously case of boner envy and took it out on the rocks. Police should start looking for an angry guy with a drill and is flaccid from a case of ED.


It could also be some militant feminists who wanted more tourist going to trolls tongue.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

This sort of vandalism happens, usually 'for the lulz'. Though there are occassional differences in motive.

A scout group in 'Murica destroyed some delicate appearing rock formations, lest they topple on someone. They were over a hundred million years old.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

When Norway says a rock looks like a penis, it becomes a tourist site. When I say a rock looks like a penis, I get called immature.

Its the accent. They've turned storm trolls into a tourist attraction.

Now if you had a highborn British accent, you could work for BBC or maybe run for the office of Queen. Alternatively if you had a Russian accent you already be a step ahead in auditioning for the role of villain.

The person who did this is a complete dick. Hopefully the process is neither too long nor too hard for those re-erecting the formation.

It's a troll-part. It's ONLY stone during daylight hours.

Trolly will notice it missing when he wakes up.

If your rock stays upright for more than 4,000 years, please see a geologist.
