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.
In online forums, Portlanders posted photos of dildos swaying in
the wind above a number of major commercial streets, and
speculated about their origins.
Portland resident Lucila Cejas Epple said she first encountered
the phalluses at a neighborhood street fair over the weekend.
"You could spot them in several intersections and you could see
all sorts of reactions to them," she said. "Some would blush,
others would laugh, and most would take photos."
