It was probably better in theory than in execution.
The Saratoga Springs High School graduation ceremony was suddenly interrupted Thursday morning when a 19-year-old man dressed as a set of male genitals streaked across the stage of the Saratoga Performing Arts Center. Shooting canned string at diploma-bearing graduates, the intruder startled the crowd of nearly 5,000 gathered to see students receive their degrees.
After making his appearance among the senior class, the man leapt off the stage and ran toward the exit gates in an attempt to escape security officers, who were in close pursuit. He appeared to have some difficulty eluding officers, however, due to the cumbersome layers of his costume, which covered him from head to foot. He was eventually captured inside a service entrance next to The Hall of Springs nearby after he tripped over the lower extremities of the costume, and was promptly arrested by Saratoga Springs Police. [...] Police said the penis outfit was a commercially-purchased inflatable device that came with a battery pack.
Doesn't look like a very convincing costume, really.
No kidding.
Finding out he was one of last year's graduates, rather than just a random crazy person, actually somehow makes it sadder.

Hardly the first time a guy's balls have gotten him in hot water.

Are we even trying here?
Will no one say it?
Sigh. OK.
What a prick!
Do your balls hang low,
do they wobble too and fro . . .
Out of fairness I believe it is difficult to remain turgid whilst sprinting, but we can verify this at the upcoming Olympics, when the sprinters decline to wear their support undergarments in an effort to, um, run faster? I'm not really sure why the eggs and sausage are on display, but as a straight guy I'll simply say "Ewww."

Probably just some kid who was upset when the "battery powered penis pump" he ordered arrived and it wasn't what he had in mind.
