The #CPAC Dallas stage looks like a massive phallic symbol -- and people can't stop laughing

Remember the last CPAC when the stage was a Nazi rune? https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=15180915
CPAC has tried to top this with a new stage design




Sigmund Freud is obviously not a guest at this summer's Conservative Political Action Conference in Dallas -- but he might have been fascinated by its stage design if he were.

Twitter account @Patriottakes noticed that the CPAC Dallas stage this year has a rather phallic look to it -- although this is actually a welcome improvement from the stage design unveiled earlier this year that critics said looked like a Nazi rune.

Nonetheless, Twitter users who looked at the stage could not help but see it as an architectural double entendre, which resulted in many laughs at CPAC's expense.
