Oh my god, the horror!
The City of Keizer is taking heat for installing a group of cement posts designed to protect pedestrians from cars, but which some say is a phallic symbol.
A total of 52 of the posts were installed at a busy intersection in Keizer and they are getting a lot of second glances.
A number of residents have complained to the city that the posts resemble male genitalia.
The city is looking into retrofitting the posts with metal collars and chains that run between them, which they hope will change the look. If not, they said the posts will have to go.
“If that fix doesn’t work and I still think they look inappropriate, we’ll have wasted $20,000 and we’ll have to do something different,” Eppley said.
“After” from Melissa McEwen.
Sometimes a concrete barrier is just a concrete barrier. Except of course when it’s giant weenie hallucination in the mind of a nut-job with a Freudian public works fixation.
It never fails. There’s always SOMEONE out there pretending to be offended just so we pay attention to them and what THEY want.
Good comments everyone. There are some really humorous quips posted.
#7 gets my two thumbs up nod for best.
What’s long and hard and full of seamen?
A submarine!! Geeesh!!!
What do those folks do in museums? Naked statues and paintings? What about all the sex and incest in the bible? Hell, I’ll hide my children behind a cement post for their protection from idiot drivers long before subjecting them to a bible.
#34 – I am, I say I am offended, sir, by your post!
stupid dry-vagina’d women. Christ, they’re concrete posts!N Who cares?!?
Make the HEADS BIGGER…Turn then into Mushrooms, and WATCH the comments Fly…
Lady, if your husband has a HEAD that BIG…I wonder …….

You’re right they do look like bullets!
So if the stone penises actually look like bullets that explains what America is doing to Iraq.
As well if these stone bullets look like penises why has no one in Oregon complained about the name Oregon as it sounds too much like Organ…or is that why it’s named that way…?
Cheers
Just wait til you have snow on top of those ….things….
#37: I do apologize. Want a cookie?
#42 you are so right.
I love these things: erotic and functional
I’d like to be an OREGON donor…let’s give the state to B.C.
Ah, there is nothing like a classic!
Gee venom, you must be real fun at parties. Any other trivial trivia you care to share with us? I sure fricking hope not!
That’s not trivia… just an ordinary, fairly obvious fact, that most people don’t seem to get.
I have a lot more of them, but I’ll leave you with my favorite:
people who use the word “couple” as if it were a number.
“I’ll take a couple doughnuts”. WRONG.
“I’ll take couple doughnuts.” MORE WRONG.
“I’ll take a couple OF doughnuts.” RIGHT.
Good boy.
Want your own stone penises (cut and uncut) and balls? Look no more, get them from China.

They do not look like penises they look like stumps. The State Capital building in Florida looks like an erect penis with two testicles. That is a the real travesty. these are just people who want to see penises. They have to want to see them to see them. I cannot see the penises there is no getting around the state capital of FL though you have the complete set. No this is not news. Dvorack is the least newsy blog I know ov….

Well if you’re not satisfied with this blog…WHO CARES huh?
They must look like penises to enough people in Oregon to cause the news story in the first place. Huh?
As for Florida State Capitol building looking like a dick that makes perfect sense when you consider who the governor is…
Cheers!
Two days before this hit the paper, my wife and I were driving by those posts (obviously we’re locals) and I mentioned jokingly to her what I thought they looked like. We both had a laugh and forgot about it. When the news hit I was surprised how many folks had a problem with them.
Neither of us were offended, but apparently some fairly vocal folks are.
By the way, there are probably 15 of them all together and on both sides of the street. Some locals have dubbed the corner “Penis Place.”
It is a very bad intersection where many folks have been hurt trying to cross. Something needed to be done. The signals are not timed well at all.
Anyway, not everyone is as upset as the news stories seem to suggest, and not everyone in Oregon is sexually repressed.
The way I see it, you can go to any town in the country and see more dicks than you would probably care to.
If the city decides to remove them, I hope that they put them up for sale on eBay. With the notoriety this has been getting, the city could generate enough funds to fix the whole intersection.
Cheers!

Oops, typo…
I typed 15 and meant 51. I also just checked a few other articles and found I was off by one… there are apparently 52 of them.
Cheers!

I think they look like statues of R2-D2 . It was nice that the town commemorated the little droid from Star Wars
i think someone should put clear plastic bags over them (safe sex)
