In this day and age you're always hearing people complain about advertising and how suggestive it is. What some might not notice is the sexual innuendos in their everyday lives.
After arguing for a long time with his co-workers over having an Instagram account, a guy only identified as "Piggy" succumbed to peer pressure and decided to get one, but would only upload pictures of male genitalia.
However, to follow the "Terms of Service" of the company, he realized that he couldn't post explicit pictures, so he got a little bit more creative.
"I initially and repeatedly refused as I felt it fostered an environment for inane and completely vain posts without any meaningful context- what you're about to eat, your perfectly centered Tom's, a blurry photo of your mangy cat. Utterly vapid and valueless posts that could find a home on any other social media platform. I have a Facebook account - why not just use that?" Said the man behind the account on his website.
"After being continuously harangued for a few months, I finally gave in and informed my friends that I'd start an account ... But I'd only post d**k photos. Or rather, to keep things e-kosher, things that kinda sorta resembled d**ks," Piggy said.
He found out that slides in playgrounds, constellations, and even living room furniture, all resembled male genitalia, and posted the pictures with witty and funny captions in the account @ThatLooksLikeADick.
"My argument eventually became: 'you can post the dumbest things and still get popular.' And I made it a point to get as many followers as possible by just posting photos of items that vaguely resemble the male organ," Piggy continued on his website.
Piggy sat down with The Daily Beast and said he had no clue why people were so obsessed with things that look like a male's privates. "I honestly have no idea why people are so fascinated with phallic imagery or phalluses in general," said Piggy. "But it's historically pervasive, so perhaps it's something that evolved with man's capacity for speech, tool use, and humor."
According to The Daily Beast, Piggy works as a video producer and for a design agency, and says that he isn't too concerned that the Instagram account isn't monetized and generates zero revenue for the time and curation Piggy puts in.
"It's amazing that Grumpy Cat now has a beverage line, or Chris Crocker has a few album deals, but I'm not sure that's the route I want to take," he said. Still, he has some ideas if that kind of fame knocks on his door: "I've fantasized about a d**k-based duet with Katy Perry (a poor man's She & Him). Or becoming a Phallological ambassador. But the attention span of the Internet is completely ephemeral, so I'll probably just continue to write stupid captions about oppressed sheep."
We couldn't help but to add this video to contribute with the "things that look like a d**k" trend, and also as a little throwback for your enjoyment.
