    Though you’re correct, Merriam Webster makes it seem that “hung” is fine here too.

      Remember that Noah Webster is responsible for deriving American from English. Convince me he didn’t write a dictionary only to lend an air of legitimacy to his lunacy.

      In this context ‘hung’ could also be an adjective indicating he has a gigantic dong. So I really think we should be sticklers about hanged vs hung here.
