Hundreds of sex toys dangling from power lines not thought to pose a fire risk

Hundreds of sex toys hanging from power lines have appeared in recent days across Portland, Oregon.



The dildos appear to have been strung together in pairs, and have prompted numerous reports to the Portland Office of Neighbourhood 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.



Portland resident Lucila Cejas Epple said she first encountered the phalluses at a neighbourhood 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."
