How rude

Are you thinking what I'm thinking? (Well, this blog never pretended to be PG-13.)

You're disgusting -- it's a traffic bollard. But if you thought, however fleetingly, of a giant stone penis, you are not alone. The good people of Keizer, Oregon are distressed by the monstrous dongs adorning their parking lots, and are demanding the bollards be removed.

The story, however ridiculous, did make me glad that Victorian values are alive and well (and living in Oregon, apparently).


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.

"I can't disagree with that," said City Manager Chris Eppley. "They certainly did not turn out the way we anticipated."

According to Eppley, the posts were ordered from a catalog and looked much different on paper.

Well, of course. I became consumed with the desire to help out this modest town, so I went online to search for some decent alternatives.

What do you think -- too ridgy?



Now we're talking:




Hoo boy. Is it hot in here?


OH MY GOD.


As Rufus Wainwright would say, I'm so tired of Americans. Though they do make me laugh.
