Now, that's what i call dependable
Via August J. Pollack, we learn that residents of the town of Keizer, OR are having some issues over a new pedestrian safety feature. Seems that the stone posts lining one of the town's intersections resemble stone penises.
Of course, the proposed solution may not be any better.
I think that leather collars will work better, myself. And if they do end up getting rid of the penis pedestrian protectors anyway, maybe we can get a few shipped out here. I know a traffic circle that's looking a little lonely right now.

The city is looking into retrofitting the posts with metal collars and chains that run between them, which they hope will change the look.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.

I guess someone could cover them up with a big condom, but a dick is a dick. What they need is a change in paradigm: A better solution. I'm no expert in either sexual accoutrements or photo editing, though. I know they're a little big, but with equipment that big, you gotta assume there's gonna be a big mouth too. :)

My complaint with the design is that I'd always be looking for where to shove the garbage in.

You don't want to know how anatomically correct those things are.

This cylinder-with-half-sphere-on-top shape (I'm sure there's a better name for it), minus the gap between, umm, the head and the shaft, is apparently a sacred shape in some Eastern religion--probably Buddhism or Taoism. My friends and I stumbled on a concrete shape similar to these in a woods in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. Word is that this concrete obelisk was a traffic barrier that someone had dumped there illegally. The park cuts through two predominantly Asian neighborhoods, and locals had taken to treating it as a shrine. There was incense, piles of oranges, and other items left around the base of the obelisk. Being of no discernable religion ourselves, we made a Christmas pilgrimage and left some offerings there ourselves. The city eventually relocated it to the dump, however.
