Move over Banksy, there’s a new artist in town, and he’s not afraid to get… cheeky. Meet Wanksy, the street artist using giant doodles to battle potholes one laugh at a time. Frustrated by the crater-like potholes plaguing his hometown of Ramsbottom, England, this creative construction worker took matters (and paint) into his own hands. By drawing oversized, comedic penises around the potholes, Wanksy ensured these road hazards got the attention they desperately needed. His unconventional method has not only made a splash on social media but also prompted quicker repairs, proving that sometimes, humor really is the best policy.
