If you think that size doesn’t matter, a Russian political protest group called “Voina” might disagree. In the early hours of Monday morning, these radical artists drew a 65 metre long penis on St Petersburg’s Liteiny Bridge. After the bridge was raised, the enormous phallus stood erect throughout the night, looming above the FSB (formerly KGB) headquarters ahead of this week’s St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.

You could be arrested for sending sexy text messages in China. It is also illegal to dance in your underwear in Indonesia.
