The Mayor as Sausage in Hot Water

Jill Makinson-Sanders is the mayor of Louth, Lincolnshire, England. When the Olympic torch relay made its way through her town, she attended the event not in the traditional ceremonial garb of a mayor, but in an 8-foot-tall pink sausage costume! Her aim was to promote Lincolnshire bangers (sausages), but some mistook her for a penis. One witness said,

"She didn't carry the torch but when you saw her running down the street by the torch relay team nearby it really looked like she was wearing something obscene."
