yes. I don't think kids are looking at this site.

“It isn’t the first one we’ve had this year either,” he chuckled. “People get creative.”

When the local PD find it amusing, then I'd like to see it too.

City of Chicago police go on murder/homocide calls. Oswego police go on snow penis calls. I'd rather live here in Oswego!

Yes, we would like to see it, we all need something to chuckle about! I agree, I don't think there are children on here either.

I don't want to see it in my neighbor's front yard, but I'd like to see it here.

Yes post it! Haha

Geez it just a snowman. I don't find the human body as vulgar. If it offends you don't look.

Post it with a link and warning that it has adult subject matter. Then we are making an informed choice to view or not.

Please post the pic. It will be source of a good laugh on a cloudy day

My neighbors kid did that once. A young teenage girl. The dad didn't notice till I said to him.... uhhh, you might want to have a talk with your daughter.... I wish I had photographed his expression.

Yes post it!

Yes post the pic. If any prude reader complains tell them we voted so suck are snowballs.

There's enough of that on the Internet. I'll bet you can google it & find one. I'd like our little town to keep the nice small town image without a snow penis. It's bad enough that it was here, but now you want to post it up. C'mon. Most of us aren't in Jr.high anymore.

Let's see it!

A few years ago I had to call MPD because there was a 6ft tall snow penis made by some teenage kids in front of Mcdole elementary. That was an interesting phone call.

Yes! Show us the snow penis!

No sense in teasing us! Show it!

Lol. Love everyone's comments.

Hmmmm hard choice.stiffen your spine, don't listen to any boneheads. Expose it!

Saw a snow penis posted on FB. If ya've seen one ya've seen 'em all. What the heck..... post the pic.

when in doubt, let it out!!!! someday the individuals that made this will probably be famous sculpters and will say they grew up in oswego,, then everyone will be happy to hear the recognition!!!! it isint hurting anyone and should be displayed!!!

The human anatomy is not vulgar....misuse of it can be, but a mere/mirror sculpture of it...well, it's in my bedroom right now...Michelangelo's David!

Can you hook it up to a battery?
Hahahahahahahahaha !!!

Though I wouldn't want it in my front yard, it is creative art and doesn't the consitution state freedom of expression? Art is in the way it is interpreted, maybe it's a torpedo or rocket ship, lol....

Make 535 of them and we'll call it a Congress...

Post the pic..post the pic lol

Doesn't everyone already know what a penis looks like?

I have yet to see a snow penis..I'm game!

Y'all are making me crack up with the comments. Looks like we're going to post, but will hold off till tomorrow for the 24 hrs for the poll.

How long did it take to erect it and did it require any sort of supplements?

It isn't funny. It isn't clever. It is indicative of the twisted mindset in our world today. Don't look, you say? Freedom of expression, you say? I say our society is so far gone the way that Satan wants, and he laughs at all the fools, who say in their heart there is no God. Think not? The day is fast approaching when you will see how wrong you are. This article is just a tiny symptom of a greater moral problem.

Great comments! Let's see it in all it's glory!

LOL. Photo or it did not happen!

It was I that called the police for 2 reasons. My neighbor, that faces them have 3 kids 6 and under and she does not need to explain to them what that is. The other reason is it was half in their yard and half in their other neighbor's yard. That wasn't fair for them for the rest of the neighborhood to think that they did it. It wasn't teenagers that built it either, might have helped out though. It was a great rendition of the male anatomy though. I applaud his work, but didn't find it neccessary for the rest of us to be subjected to it.

Post it. Thanks Dawn though for thinking if the other kids.

Yes I want a laugh!

I'm a Lisle native and have been living in Georgia for many years. Please post the pic because I haven't seen a snow penis in years lol.
The comments here gave me so much laughter this morning...thank you!!!

Haha post it

Did the snowman use both hands to get it up?

LOL. We need to thank both Dawn and Kibitzer for making this moment possible. It is the very fear of people like Kibitzer that causes people like Dawn to react the way she did, which is why we will all get to see it.

I can't believe someone actually thought to call the police for this!?!

Well, Scott.... it isn't "fear" of such subject matter that caused me to react. It is my respect for a Holy God, who created the human body. He didn't intend for it to be the subject of ridicule or laughter. Why the male anatomy only? Why not the entire female anatomy? Would that bring law enforcement too? Why shouldn't kids be fed this kind of insame behavior? We need more kids to become immune to sexual degenerecy. Like those young people in Joliet who must have begun their trip into sexual deviancy by laughing at this type of thing. And see where it lead.

There was one on Grape Vine Trail that looked that it had couple of snow globes on it. But I missed the one that had the hanging icicle on it. And I live on Grape Vine Trail

Its a penis it is not that big of a deal. Kids see worse going shopping in the mall or to the movies or even school! Its in sex education which kids are learning in the fourth grade!

Yeah. Kids are sure learning the fundamentals of sex in their educational experience. And look who they learn it from. People who most often have a perverted sense of "humor" about the subject. This is why kids grow into young adults and then into old adults and think the movies and mall displays are so very clever. You commenters who love this sophomoric behavior have helped develop people with twisted thinking about sex. You will, in the bigger picture, reap exactly what you sow.

I agree with you Kibitzner. We live in a sick world that has no respect for the human body. It is definitely getting more difficult to shelter our children from the filth that takes place not only on TV, Internet, school, but now our front yards?

Am I unrealistic? Or a prude? LOL! God took my sin-sick soul and gave me a new life. Do I want to regulate society's morals? Nope. Can't be done. But I am so tired of the frivolous way sex is dealt with, and the "stinkin' thinkin" that is the result. It brings a poison into our mental health, that continues to poison our physical health, and deadens any feelings of shame.

Ok update on Snow Penis Gate 2013. It seems to have been removed ala Lorena Bobbitt, style. I could not find any snow person in any of my neighbors front yards that had said member on it. Maybe Dawn was the one that smashed most of the ones I seen on Grape Vine Trail since most of the snowmen looked like some one destroyed them.

If this was snow art of the female anatomy we wouldn't be having this conversation at all, sad but true.
I'm curious how this was done without the homeowners hearing anything. It had to take sometime I'm guessing.

What we do need to worry about is sweaters from Goodwill that have demonic demons attached to them. Thanks to Pat Robertson I am now boiling them before they come into my home. If this doesn't work a good zap in the microwave should take care of the problem.

Show me the PENIS!

Years and years ago, I was able to watch the 700 Club when it dealt with the Scriptural matters that fed my soul. Then Pat Robertson went into politics. I left his programming long ago when he'd rather tell people how to get fit and healthy, or talk about politics, and other nonessential, (to me), matters. So, perhaps, Mr. Hines, you are inferring that anyone with faith in the Lord, has to behave in a crazy manner? Do you want to be unfairly linked to a group who has a program that isn't really what you are about? Of course, Christians are totally fair game when it comes to insults, and in other countries, being murdered for their faith. Psalm 37:7-9

I hope the Kendall County Sheriff's Department was called in to assist. I understand that they have had a lot of "hands on" experience in dealing with things of this particular nature.

The great Patch penis poll probably peeves the prudish people.
Every one else in town is chanting...Penis! Penis! Penis!

I bet my snow penis is bigger than your snow penis

My wife said she saw a snow penis before we got married....she said is was bent like a 'C" ...i have never seen one of those kinds.

My neighbor Jamaal apparently had a giant snow penis...from what I have heard.

maybe we need to get the 1-Adam-12 on the case.
http://www.1adam12-1adam12.com/

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul. With a Corn-Cob pipe and a button nose and a penis made out of snow. Everybody sing!!!!!!!!!!!! Second versus same as the first.............. Frosty the Snowman.........Was very happy soul...........With a Corn-Cob pipe and a button nose..................

I love my little town!

Oh and remember ladies cold causes shrinkage.

So,it was bad enough that the police called it vulgar & had it taken down, but the Oswego Patch is going to post it? How ridiculous is it that our law says it's vulgar & doesn't need to be seen in public,but a handful of people on here say they want to see it, so you're going to post it? If this were a prints publication, laws would prevent The publication of this photo. Do those same laws apply to an online "newspaper"? Natalie, you want to check that out before you post to a website for our small town that probably isn't filtered out for our school kids.

I don't believe the creators of this artwork HAD to destroy. I think they were being nice by destroying. Freedom of speech and such... If you call something 'artwork' you can usually get away with it (especially on your own front lawn)...

I love this. I see maybe 2 posts on most Yorkville Patches, but talk about a penis and you get over 70 and it is growing (no penis pun intended here) :)

A few years back, when I was driving through Newark, a yard was full of those wooden reindeer and someone had made it so they were all mounting one another. Now that was funny and creative!

I have never seen this much of a reaction on the patch. This is all too funny. Show it or not. I don't think it's that big a deal...lol

Really? You only see (maybe) 2 posts on most Yorkville Patches? Hm-m-m..... I have been amazed at the number of posts over the past months on several of the Patch articles. And some seemed to me to be almost "overkill" on some pretty mundane topics. I remember back when that one stupid four letter word became a pretty overused exclamation. It still is. But silly people with kinda low IQs use it when other words fail them. I believe it takes a kinda low IQ to keep demanding to see a snow appendage. Of course, those who are demanding this because they find humor in seeing it, are a bit sexist, don't you think? Would these same people, especially the women, like to see the female anatomy portrayed like this? Don't they think that women are used too often in such vulgar ways? Oh, I suppose not.
The next time you read about children of both sexes being abused, see if you still find it funny.

The Patch has it's own rules including not allowing obscene posts. I looked up the definition of obscene & it fits. It's not the 70s anymore & it's not art. Can we have just a little class?

This is hard, hard situation. I get Bitzys points, and its really tuff to swallow. I mean showing these pictures to our children these days just blows my ... mind ? Thanks for the load of replies to this sick behavior. We must take a stiff stance against this. Let me see the pick so I can be the judge of this slimy mess.

It's just snow.

I was standing by this thing the other day and an older lady walked by and asked me if I was the one who built it. I said "No, I just modeled for it."

KevP....hahaaaaa! Good one.

Why, FlawRock, (and others on here), what an ingenious play on words! How very clever that the life that God has given you can be used to show Him that you will continue to be working for His enemy. Yes, yes you are. tsk-tsk!

The mothers comments are fantastic. -

Kibitzers, go read The Screwtape Letters. You are so blinded by your own theological arrogance that you don't even see how you have become the biggest tool of Satan on this thread. That bright light of illumination you see that you think is divine illumination? That's your own blinding ego, and Satan has been whispering sweet encouragemt into your ear, and fooled you into thinking it's God. you know in your heart this is true. I shall pray for you tonight my friend, that God will give you the strength to stand up, and walk out of this dark place where your heart dwells. Look to the scripture--Christ did not chastise and condemn his fellow man, he loved them. Focus on seeing God in everything, and you will see God in everything. Focus on seeing Satan, and you will see Satan, and your life will become dark, and you will become his. I for one believe that the male penis is a thing of beauty, and the immaturity you think you see is simply joy. If it is immature to be joyful...then I say, let us all be as children. Wait, sorry, I can't take credit for that: Jesus taught me that.

Sorry Scott. Not interested in The Screwtape Letters. And theological arrogance? I know my Heavenly Father is chuckling over that comment. He knows my heart, and He knows I haven't a head for theological anything. What I know, I know from walking with Him. Your prayers will be for naught. "Prayer to God will be effective only when it comes from a holy heart, justified by holy hands, with no spirit of wrath or doubting." This insight is taken from a monthly booklet I receive and is part of a selected reading on prayer with no author listed. No, Scott.... I have a long, long way to go on my journey Home. Not physically.... but spiritually. Because I choose to comment on things like this particular subject does not mean I have a dark force speaking in my ear. Darkness and Light cannot coexist. And Jesus Christ is my Light. Did I ask His permission to comment? No. But like a patient Father, He allows me to make mistakes, if indeed I have.

Thank you Kibitzer for saying what didn't need to be said. Have you planned your target for your Jihadist rage?

In other words "Lighten up". God will still love you without acting like an uber evangelist.

If you believe in the bible then you know Christ was the model for man. If you are male then you more than likely have a penis. Thus one can theorize Christ had a penis.

So perhaps the penis creators were extending a tribute to the King of Kings, Lord of Lords. It is possible.

You continue to demonstrate my point. By your words, I can see your heart grows harder, and your mind grows darker. With every post, thinking to convince with your flowery words what you canno do with your blackened heart. You are attempting to impress me with your intellect and your supposed "relationship" with Him. Can't you see this is what Satan does? He replaces God's mind with yours, and then guides you to the conclusion that you are righteous. Beware the self-righteous-- they belong to Satan.

I won't be on here again. Others in your community need to meet with you and teach you humility, forgiveness, and compassion, and get you out of this dark place you are in. This is not the right place for this. You of course have my forgiveness.

Me? I'm going to spend my day building snow owls. I would offer you my forgiveness and prayer again, but as we serve different masters, I'm afraid you would be hardened to them. Peace, my friend, and may you escape your darkness.

Kibitzer, You continue to demonstrate my point! By your words, I can see your heart grows harder, and your mind grows darker. With every post, thinking to convince with your flowery words what you cannot do with your blackened heart, you dig yourself even deeper. You are attempting to impress me with your intellect and your supposed "relationship" with Him. Can't you see this is what Satan does? He replaces God's mind with yours, and then guides you to the conclusion that you are righteous. Beware the self-righteous-- they belong to Satan.

So where is the photo? Cmon Patch, whip it out!

Our Country gets a sequester and this line gets the most comments? Really?

As of Sunday morning the poll has a clear majority asking for the snow art. We realize that some may find it offensive, which is why you must click the picture from the options on the right and it the reason it is not clearly visible at first glance on this article. Thanks to all who voted in the poll.

Well that's not realistic at all !!

I know Scott has "left the building", but in case he decides to take one last peek: I tell him that I can take comfort in Matthew 5: 11,12. Though I do appreciate the chastisement from him and others.

Meh that the picture was eventually posted, it was the comic relief of reading the comments that has made my day. I laughed so hard. Thank you, witty neighbors!

They call this "vulgar" ? Unbelievable! Had it been a " snow breast" there wouldn't be one thing said about it. We have off-duty cops pulling guns in Walmart and law-enforcement puts it on the back burner yet we get a snow penis erected and the world comes to an end. This town is really screwed up.
Honestly I'm thinking it was a group of adults, drunk and having a good time.

You show me your Snow Penis and I'll show you my Snow Balls!!!

I really can't believe some of you are so offended by this. You bring God, laws, and sexual deviancy into this? You say things like 'poison to our mental health', 'no respect for the human body', and people who find this humorous have 'helped develop people with a twisted thinking of sex'. Is it not at least a little funny? You're so concerned about the kids seeing this and by some of your reactions you're creating the very problem of 'shame' you are trying to avoid. For crying out loud, tell the kid it's a penis and laugh a little! It makes me want to build my own snow penis, just for the neighbors who are most offended and especially for you Kibitzer. You're trying to compare a snow penis to sex abuse? You insult me by insinuating I have a low IQ because I find this funny. Open your mind a little and lighten up. Sheesh. Thanks for the picture Oswego Patch, you gave me a good laugh today!

I seriously have to wonder about all the women who laughed so much about this. Is it because you seriously would like to see men emasculated? I watch the darkness growing all around me regarding the men, and how so many women want to get even with the male species. Men are fair game these days. No, Heather. I don't find this subject the least bit funny. And the way things are going, I'm sure it will be hilariously funny when someone does a snow sculpture of an act of sodomy, or maybe it'll be funny if someone does a snow sculpture of an automatic weapon pointed at passersby? I don't know. Tell me when you will quit laughing at some "freedom of expression" work of snow art. Is there any boundary that should not be crossed?

Oswego is now known for the "snow penis's and the women who want to do away with their head's" If my wife were alive she'd be all over this one, so to speak.

I'm selling metal jock straps to protect the men of Oswego's jewels if anyone is interested. Maybe handy in case you have a run in with any of the ladies who want to see you emasculated.

Either people are heavily medicated, drunk or just plain high! It's snow for crying out loud.

I must say, I think I've hit a nerve. So, go ahead.....tell me what you REALLY think.

Kibitzer I think you hit the nail on the head!

You're really trying to compare a snow penis to emasculation, sodomy, and assault rifles? It's not even on the same level! This is clearly related to a deeper issue that you have a problem with. Of course some boundaries shouldn't be crossed but is this really the one? Women are exploited on a daily basis and you're so upset about a sculpture that's just going to melt? Kibitzer, you're giving this snow penis too much credit.

I think your freaking nuts....

No, Heather. I am explaining why I think laughing off something that is an indicator of where our society is, seems to strike fear (?) in the hearts of so many. It is sad that my opinions make some so uncomfortable. Why should it? Am I a politician who can set up public policy? Think I might stand outside some movie theater to protest a movie making fun of my Lord? Might I even march outside an abortion providers home? Will I go around looking for those snow sculptures if they are set up in the next snowfall? No. Will I also picket the gay rights activists? No. I observe and sometimes take up the roll of a "kibitzer". The meaning of which, as I last checked, was "onlooker, spectator, " and yes.... even "meddler". I don't promise to pray for people who don't see what I see. I don't really worry about naysayers concerning the Lord and His part in my life. I have a life that I do live, hopefully with Him leading me. I've enjoyed this little adventure into being able to say what I like to say. And now, my "kibitzing" is done.

Just amazing how many people are concerned about this but no one seems to be concerned about a bullet through a window of a home that's in the police blotter??? Really????

There is currently a winter storm watch in effect that threatens to dump 6 to 10 inches of snow in Oswego over the next 36 hours. Citizens should be on the lookout for bigger and longer erections. Do not attempt to apprehend these yourself as they should be considered armed and dangerous.

Sculpt what you want...as for me and my 2 young sons we're going to build us an igloo after this next storm. After which I intend to run a TV and some snacks out there so my son Sachairi can pretend we live in "Aklaksa" and Alex can pretend he's a "Polish" bear. And god help those 2 if they ever put a huge phallis in my front yard when they're teenagers!

well...I sneaked a peek at the pic. The Rhode Island snow weenie posted by Ralph is considerably more.....how shall I say it.....MAJESTIC...

OPD is cock blocking our snow activities.

Thanks goodness we're taking this problem by the shaft, we need to keep children ashamed and in the dark about their bodies.

You can tell how cold it is just by looking at its...
