The operators have however asked the ‘creative artist’ to ‘secure the object sufficiently’ as they fear it might not withstand a storm. One woman joked online: ‘Whoever managed to get it up there has really proven to be a man of some kind.’ Another referred to the many traditional wooden mountaintop crucifixes in Austria, and asked: ‘Instead of a summit cross, we now get summit penises?’ The Oetscher penis is not the only phallus controversy to excite Austrians this year.
Then it will be known as the 'flying penis'.
How soon will it be before someone puts up a 'summit vagina' alongside that? It looks kinda lonely.
