Whoops!

Time to get the Photoshop out. To be fair to BA this was also seen on Bing.com until it was pointed out to them.
See here for a larger version of the offending image from El Reg https://regmedia.co.uk/2017/08/17/bi...=507&infer_y=1

I'm not! But I noticed the line on the unmarked photo linked in your opening post but I didn't even identify it as the particular bits of the male anatomy until I looked at the marked photo. I have my contact lens in so it must have been not-so-easily-identifiable shape

I think there are larger versions of this picture on other sites. People have been able to spot the problem far more easily on those if that helps.

This isn't the only BA photographic phallus i've seen. About 18 months ago I noticed in the Chicago lounge there was a beautiful photograph of a snowy Chicago landscape, with a large penis drawn in the snow at the bottom of the picture.
Haven't had the chance to get back recently, so not sure if it is still there.
