And he's actually doing some good.
Norwegian sexual health charity RFSU enlisted Philip van Eck's help to raise awareness of chlamydia and contraception in the Scandinavian country by getting him to run around and spray people with gold confetti. As you do.
It's important work though, as 23,000 people contract chlamydia every year and Norwegians use condoms less than their Nordic neighbours according to The Local. And as for pissing people off with his surprise, it turns out that the opposite happened. "The filming was not unproblematic, as passers-by wanted selfies with the giant penis," van Eck told The Local. "Suddenly, lots of people wanted to touch the penis and take pictures with the penis. I almost felt harassed."
All in a day's work.
