CHILLY WILLY
Social media became particularly excited by photos of a rather phallic 30ft (9m) iceberg that appeared off the coast of Canada, and went into overdrive when it drifted into the vicinity of a town in Newfoundland named Dildo. Locals dubbed it the “Dickie Berg” and photographer Ken Pretty managed to capture a picture of it using a drone the day before it collapsed, leading to a Toronto Star headline of “Dildo man captures phallic iceberg in Conception Bay”. theguardian.com, 1 May; mirror.co.uk, 3 May 2023.
