(Not enough cameras or popcorn) Trump Is About To Get Trolled... By A Giant Penis Brigade

An activist group found a cheeky way to protest the "dong" leading the GOP.

Members of the group, which calls itself the Church of Satanic Activism or "The Church," are planning to attend the Republican debate at the University of Miami on March 10, dressed in inflatable penis costumes in a less-than-subtle nod to Trump. They'll don the phallic ensembles, once again, at various polling spots throughout Florida on March 15, the day of the state's primary.

Political activist Chaz Stevens, who founded "The Church," is no stranger to cheeky demonstrations. He made headlines in December when he won approval to erect an LGBT-themed "Festivus Pole" in rainbow colors and topped with a disco ball in the Oklahoma Capitol rotunda. That decoration was a nod to the fictional holiday "Festivus," which was featured in a 1997 episode of "Seinfeld."

Like the "Festivus Pole," Stevens' plans are also rooted in holiday lore. In this case, he says, the costumes are a reference to Japan's Shinto Kanamara Matsuri, or the "Festival of the Steel Phallus," which is an obscure celebration of fertility that incorporates penis-shaped adornments each spring.

Stevens, who identifies as straight but says he is deeply committed to activism around LGBT issues, also plans to observe the event in Florida by impersonating Trump as an enormous penis that spews gold confetti.
