A plague of sex toys has hit a city in America.
Hundreds of ‘phallic sex toys’ – tied together carefully with string – have started appearing on power lines in Portland, Oregon.
The dildos usually appear in pairs, often with one coloured red and the other a pale yellow.

The products are not a fire hazard, a spokesman for Portland General Electric said.
Well that’s a relief.
