At least one resident of Keizer Oregon has a sense of humor.

But some of them need to lighten up.

KEIZER, Ore. - 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.

SNIP

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.

Of course, the city could always keep them up and use them for sex education, at least according to one woman we spoke to. "My son said he wanted to hang a sign on it that says 'always use protection,'" she said.

1. so then it would turn something vaguely phallic into something that looks vaguely like

homoerotic group bondage.

w00t!

3. THIS is what "some" are making a big deal over?!

Puh-leease.

[Guaranteed]

5. Well, once the idea gets put in peoples' heads....

It's all over. Every time they look at those posts they'll think and see the same thing.

2. If THAT looks phallic, someone REALLY needs to get laid

Dear god I would be pissed off if I were a taxpayer in this town, wasting tax money repeatedly fixing a problem that doesn't exist.

What a fucking ridiculous news item.

9. they look like cement trash bins. How will collars and chains help them look unphallic

Putting rings and chains seems like would just add to the problem.

If you look, you can find phallic symbols everywhere. We need to ban the male letters RPpdbqI and mMwWuUoOA also as they look female phallicy.

10. No problem. Just cover them with large Hefty bags!

(Does Hefty make ribbed garbage bags?)
