Good morning fellow web users! When you opened your favourite search engine this morning, by which I mean Microsoft’s Bing, did you happen to notice the seemingly gigantic drawing of a penis etched into the sunny beach on the homepage? No? <\/p>\n

Well, luckily for you, I happened to take a screenshot, which you can review in detail below. As you can see, the alleged dick-and-balls drawing is gigantic.<\/p>\n

Look at the size of it compared to the nearby beach towels and parasols\u2014the presumed phallus is larger than a beach chair. It’s remarkable, kind of like one of those humongous ancient geoglyphs<\/a> in the Nazca Desert of Peru. <\/p>\n

According to a Quora answer by someone who claims to work at Microsoft<\/a>, the background image for Bing changes daily. It’s not entirely clear how whoever chose today’s image missed what appears to be an artist’s rendition of male genitalia the size of a pool bar, but we’ve reached out to the company to comment. <\/p>\n

We’ll update when we hear back. <\/p>\n
