Vandals use Roundup to paint giant cock in front of governor's mansion in Boise

Or maybe they're upset at Gov. C.L. "Butch" Otter?
Either way, their anger, expressed in unique graffiti on the giant grassy hill of the governor's mansion, formerly the Simplot mansion, is at least misplaced, however, um, pointed it is.
It's pretty hard to miss if you're cruising up Bogus Basin Road. If you squint closely at the photo here, you'll see that, yes, someone used grass killing chemicals of some sort to outline the shape of a giant male phallus, pointed up, on the grass of Simplot hill.
Neither Simplot nor Otter live in the house, which was donated to the state by the potato magnate last year.
There's no telling when the perpetrator did the deed. But Mark Reed, the manager of Zamzows on Federal Way, said the common yard herbicide Roundup would have done the trick pretty handily.
