The Guinness Book of World Records has rejected the world’s biggest penis pic because of a slight technicality.

The photo will be recognized as the world’s largest digital image despite being a penis. According to LADBible, the photo’s creator, known only as “Eggplant,” said he came up with the idea to create an NFT in 2021 and used his creativity to put his take on the trend. “I didn’t want to follow the typical prescription of making a collection of 30,000 NFTs,” he explained to BuzzFeed. He came up with the idea to create ‘a giant, huge, uncontrollably large cartoon penis’.
The photo, which has an area of 102,040,171,200,000 pixels and could reach space if 3D printed, beats the second-largest digital image, a photo of a zebrafish embryo. On the other hand, Eggplant stated that he did not want his image to be perceived as misogynistic and was more about being playful.
“I can’t make an enormous image by hand, it needs to be generated. It could be something like a fractal, but that’s boring. It needs to be able to ‘grow’ so that I can make it as large as possible. And then I had it: A penis. A giant, huge, uncontrollably large cartoon penis.”

It took the digital artist five weeks to complete the image as his software created sections of the penis at 30 million pixels per second and it was bigger than any NFT ever produced.
After contacting the Guinness Book of World Records, he submitted the image, and officials said in response that the image wouldn’t meet their standards based on its size and design.
‘Our Records Management Team have completed the evidence review for your claim, and the attempt would not be eligible per the record guidelines. The image contains large areas of repeated colour blocks and is not comprised of multiple unique images in the same way the current record was made up of 26,434 individually captured images. As such, the decision is that the image does not comply with the record guidelines and we, therefore, have no choice but to reject the claim.’

Eggplant appealed the decision, and the image is random and continuous, but Guinness didn’t change their minds. They said officials ‘maintains a rigorous review process to maintain the integrity of each Guinness World Records title.’ However, the artist remains optimistic about his work and believes they were stunned by the image as it is a picture of a giant penis.
“I think they kind of got caught in a pickle because they said yes to my submission [because] I made it kind of sound medical. And then I gave them a big cartoon weiner. Of course, they were not happy about it.”
