Poe?
I'm guessing so:
Gay Son Rebels By Drawing Penis on Parents Roof
Here is a prime example of home homosexuals have no respect for anything that isn’t sugar plummed with anal sin.
A young boy decided to paint a penis on his families home to show his support and love for other men. I want to know why this young man felt the need to violate his parent’s property with such sin and vulgarity. Did he feel like if he embarrassed his family that they would except his choice to be a twiddle rompus worshiper?
I mean, seriously. But it says something - actually, a lot - that it's so damned hard to tell anymore...

The original story was in the Telegraph without all the gay analysis wrapped in.
Poe, with a tequila chaser
Oh, come on. If you got past this one:
And still think it's a serious site, well. That's all I can say.
I like the bit in the original site about it being modeled on "the best-known feature of the Cerne Abbas Giant in Dorset". Kid's not stupid. Kid's a teenaged boy. What teenaged boy isn't interested in that part of the anatomy, whether his or someone else's?
A laugh a minute
There are so many pieces in this that have given me some good laughs for a good start to the morning.
First, the painting was on the roof for a year before his parents found out about it. Hardly the sign of a powerful protest.
Second, the mother's reaction to her son's painting what he said was a copy of a fertility symbol was that they didn't want any more children, so sleeping under a fertility symbol was somewhat disconcerting.
Then there's always the illiteracy of self-righteous, bombastic twits. Using "except" instead of "accept his choice..." really undermines the poster's wrong-headed denunciation, though probably his followers don't notice such trivia.
Finally, the expression "twiddle rompus worshiper" makes my day. I'll have to pass that along.

Admission of ignorance
Being a techie I pride myself on my mastery of TLAs but I have to admit that I don't know what POE is. Unless you mean power over ethernet but I suspect that's not what you're talking about.
BTW, I think that roof painting is pretty damn funny.

Thanks Jim.
You learn something new every day (under optimal conditions, your mileage may vary).
Roof Drawing
I saw a link to this story from the original UK source (can't find it right now, dammit), and nowhere in that story did it say anything about gayness being an issue.
I mean, I thought it was a hilarious practical joke, myself. Sort of like when some guys near LAX painted "Welcome to Chicago" on a building's roof.
Poe
I spent some time looking around that site also. I agree with Hank, the whole site appears to be a Poe.
Poe
I looked around on that site, and I believe the whole thing has to be a Poe.
I think of places like that as a sort of sticky flypaper for Christians. It attracts them and they get trapped by it.
I'm just hoping there will come a day when they'll all be taken down and the godders trapped in them are flushed away in order to make the world a better, saner place.
Some kind of rapture or something, say.
