Penis Tombstones Are Giant, Rock-Hard...And In Iran

Let's face it, "Her hands tightly wrapped around a giant penis-shaped tombstone" is an irresistible story lede. Even if no one has much idea why there are penis-shaped tombstones in Iran. But who doesn't like an erotic countryside romp?

GlobalPost's unnamed Iran correspondent — because apparently even slideshows on ruins shaped like genitalia can put you at risk there — writes that the ancient tombstones have become a tourist destination among young people, and implies that this is because they are starved for sexual stimulation.

"It remains for researchers to explore," he/she observes sagely, "but for now, to many average Iranians, it makes for a good laugh."


Sometimes it's hard to fill the news hole.
