Giant snow penis demolished at Texas Tech University as students protest

A group of mostly male students at Texas Tech University staged a heroic last stand before a bulldozer demolished their beloved snow sculpture of a giant penis.

The 11-foot-tall sculpture, built in "one of the most popular places on campus," took about four hours and up to ten students to complete, according to a video description on Newsflare.

Before the students could add their finishing touches to the sculpture, university workers in a bulldozer arrived to demolish it. The YouTube video showing the incident has received more than 52,000 views as of Monday morning.

Students began pouring water on the sculpture in a futile attempt to solidify it. After a brief standoff between workers and students, who posed with the sculpture and hugged it while others took photos, the sculpture was destroyed in "possibly the most brutal way possible," according to the video's description.

Videos posted to YouTube and Vine on Thursday show the mighty sculpture being brought down.
