Lucky for us, the behind the scenes video from the billboard photo shoot can be viewed while we're not operating heavy machinery.

Sometimes, on sadly unsuccessful nights, the only phallus we get shoved in our faces comes from drunk straight girls flaunting man-meat-shaped lollipops at bachelorette parties being thrown at West Hollywood's The Abbey.
