Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man might appear to be a little bit

too

friendly.

First spotted by Tumblr user LonleyCoast, an image has been circulating of a standard helium balloon depicting Spider-Man leaping into action. The problem is that apparently no one bothered to double check the placement of the inflation nozzle. The end result (and there’s no tactful way of putting this) is that it looks like Spidey is rocking a massive boner.

Perhaps even more bothersome than the fact that this balloon exists is that according to the supplier, the minimum order to buy these is 1,000 balloons. There are literally thousands of Spider-erection balloons out there, just waiting to force parents to answer uncomfortable questions from their children.

This is not the first time that Spider-Man and his bulge has been prominently on display, as last summer a sculpture of the superhero sporting a stiffy had to be removed from a children’s playground in Korea.

Now readers, I won’t claim to know anything about the design or manufacture of inflatable party favors. It seems to me, however, that at some point in the design, production, or quality control process shouldn’t someone have noticed that perhaps there could be a better place to put the nozzle than in Spider-Man’s goddamned crotch?
