A house in Amherstberg Ontario displayed an impressively-sized (1.2m = 4 ft) concrete phallus on the front lawn this week.

Fearing the often-lengthy process to introduce a new municipal by-law, Carney has an alternative compromise.
“Lay it flat. It’s like a patio stone,” she pitched. “They could lay it on the ground and still have it in their yard, and it wouldn’t be upsetting people in the community.”
