To Protest Morning Call headline, Call Staffer to display cast of his Penis at 6th and Linden

Edgar P. Hardswallow, a little known but regular writer who covers bird watching and compiles the births and obituaries occasionally, is angry about the headline in the Saturday, June 14th edition of the Morning Call. Edgar told his colleagues that the headline, "Rape Suspect says Penis Cast Would Acquit Him", isn't up to the standards of propriety he has held himself to in his long, but not storied career. He wants everyone to know how disgusted he is with the depths the paper he has toiled for the last 41 years has fallen.

"They wouldn't let me use the word "pecker" but "Penis" is a front page headline? Can you believe this?" Edgar went on to unleash a tirade against Sam Zell and the Morning Call's ownership that shocked those around him.

Morning Call Editor Crankypants called Hardswallow in and reportedly suspended him with pay for 2 weeks. Hardswallow then went to the Baum School of Art, and allowed a plaster paris mold of his penis to be made.
To protest everything he thinks is wrong with the Morning Call, Hardswallow is placing the one and a half inch life size steel cast in the crosswalk at 6th and Linden Streets. "This will annoy local drivers every time they hit it with a tire, as much as the Paper annoys me" he told bystanders. Rumor has it that several local members of the Blog universe will also follow suit, joining Mr. Hardswallow in his protest. They hope to create a "Rumble Strip of Rage" in front of the Morning Call offices, but in this intrepid blogger's opinion, it will be more likely resemble a "Penile pebbles of puberty." The whole lot of them would better serve the community by placing themselves in the road.
