Now that's big news!

Look up. Look w-a-a-a-y up! A super-sized 30 foot penis, built of straw and steel, was "erected" last week at Longwan Shaman Amusement Park in Changchun City, China, to honor the shaman hero Ewenki. The legend says that Ewenki defeated an evil female ruler and gave her a penis totem as a reminder to respect men.

"It symbolizes our ancestors' pursuit of happiness and prosperity," according to the China Folk Culture Association.

Park officials are trying to convince gay men that this is not a new ride.
