#BBC tweets out storm weather forecast that resembles a penis

The staid suits at the BBC were left red-faced Saturday after tweeting out what looked like an X-rated forecast.

The tweet from BBC Essex, which has since racked up over 128,000 likes as well as 43,000 retweets and comments, noted “Weather: More heavy showers across Essex overnight” and included a picture of the storms in a formation that resembled a penis.

The Twitterverse responded appropriately in comments that included cartoon drawings around the storm-penis as well as from people like Tom Warren, editor of The Verge, who noted “there’s plenty of these ‘heavy showers’ in Essex.”
