The School Project
That Ended Up X-Rated-Fiction!
Summary of the eRumor It is said that some
elementary students were doing a potted plant project. They
painted and fired pots that looked like clowns and planted cactus in
them. The result, however, was that the cactus ended up
looking like male genitalia belonging to the clown.
The Truth
The story is fabricated and
circulated with a picture of the X-rated clown pot. The truth
is that the pots and penis-looking cactus are made that way as a
product for stores that sell adult products.
A real example of the eRumor as it has
appeared on the Internet:
Cactus that grew for school kids and looks like a body part.
READ THE STORY BEFORE YOU LOOK AT THE PICTURE
This could only happen to a teacher!
This is one of those classic occurrences in life that just seem to
go
wrong even when the intentions were so honorable. A class of
elementary
students started a class project to make a plant pot to take home
and
wanted to have a plant in it that was easy to take care of, so it
was decided to use
cactus plants. The students were given green ware pottery in the
style of
a clown plant pot and they painted them with glaze and had them
professionally fired at a class outing so they could see the
process.
It was great fun. They planted the cactus seeds in the finished
planters
and they grew nicely but unfortunately were not allowed to take
them home.
The cactus plants were removed and a small ivy replaced them and
the
children were then allowed to take them home. The teacher said
cactus
seemed like a good idea at the time.
