Cranky Media Guy, over at the Museum of Hoaxes, blogs about the overactive imaginations of some of the folks in the city of Keizer.
The city of Keizer, Oregon, a suburb of Oregon’s capital, Salem, spent $20,000 to install some run-of-the-mill concrete pillars, designed to keep cars from killing pedestrians should drivers lose control and veer onto the sidewalk. So far, so good. The trouble started when some unspecified people decided that the pillars looked too much like erect penises. I’ll give you a moment to ponder that last sentence.
As Freud said: "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar". Perhaps the people in question need to get out just a little bit more. They should come to Amsterdam, where they can spend some time contemplating the 30,000 or so Amsterdammertjes that are installed in the streets.
