Former Pornstar Turned Politician Wants to Be Buried in a 6-Foot Long Penis-Shaped Coffin

Pornstar-turned-politician Johnny Rockard has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, but in a bid to leave the planet in style, he's trying to raise money for his bizarre burial. He has launched a fundraising appeal to pay for a coffin in the shape of a penis for his funeral. John Langley, better known in the porn industry as Johnny Rockard, announced this week he has a terminal lung condition and has months, maybe years to live. He wishes to be buried inside a six-foot long phallic coffin that would be complete with a pair of testicles.

He has started crowd-funding from the ground and he needs 5000 pounds to build the 'penis on wheels' as he admits 'no one is going to be a pallbearer carrying a cock'. Johnny posted an 11-minute video on his Go Fund Me page where he explained the idea. Not only will the penis-shaped coffin will be on wheels but will have a hydraulic mechanism that will make the coffin erect at an angle during the service.

The former Bristol mayoral candidate said, "I know there will be people who will contribute to it because they want to see the back of me, there will be those who will contribute to it because they think it's absolutely hilarious." He further says in the video, "This is quite a historical moment - no one has ever been buried or cremated in a penis before. It's just me mocking the whole thing about funerals, completely ripping the traditional idea apart and having a bloody laugh at the same time."

He also asked people to not mention god or blessings during the ceremony and no prayers shall be uttered. Johnny, who had a 40-year career starring in porn films, plans to set up a dedicated Facebook group page, Twitter account and a blog entitled 'Death Door Diaries' for his penis coffin.
