oh and should they replace them with concrete mounds shaped like breasts perhaps?

this is completely ridiculous, what about the light poles? or how about fucking anything that is cylindrical, should they all be redesigned to look like breasts, asses or vaginas?? i don't get it..

Somebody should put some condoms on those things.

Somebody should paint them.

Somebody should get something important to worry about. C'mon, how much free time do we have, and what a cushy life do we live, that time is spent on phallic traffic posts?

The city is looking into retrofitting the posts with metal collars and chains

Do you think they'll erect (tee hee) steel cock cages to go around the posts too?

@2.....uh, look at it. it looks like a (weird)dick. its not just a cylindrical shape. it has a defined head. and, at least in that picture, it is more flesh colored than not.

I think our fountain at the Seattle center looks like the female sex organ.....w/ climactic orgasms!

Wow, well at least I know where the sex-ed challenged people live in Oregon. God, get over it!

i used to live near keizer oregon ( we used to call it skeezer oregon back in the day) in salem. and trust me they really don't have a whole lot of other shit to be thinking about..there is the world at large and its myriad difficulties but what probably happened was they just collectively woke up a few days ago and realized that somebody put concrete dicks up all around town . theyndon't know who and their bigger fear is that they unconciously did it themselves.. and they really don't want to admit to the world that they think about dicks all the time

anything longer than it is wide is a phallic symbol.

Wow, the men in Keizer must have huge fat penises.
Reminds me of the Beavis and Butt-Head mentality. "Huh, Huh...they said 'butt'."

God, there is just something wrong with Americans.

Lots of cities have those.

Maybe it's the work of terrorists?

Oh good there going to put cock rings on them. Good for her pleasure and his. Add a Prince Albert and now your talking.

It was for the same reason that the city made them excise R2D2 from the Star Wars series when it played there.

Heh, 'Slop' tipper 'David'? Nice post David. Dissension in the ranks?
Those don't really look like dicks, guess those people think about giant penises all the time and just happened to see one in the posts.

I don't see what the fuss is about. You should see their City Hall

Re: 20: Huh? I was sent the link by a Slog reader named David, and it seemed polite to not use his last name.

Oh, "slop"--hyuk! I get it now.

(Just a typo, fixing it now.)

sounds like a fun weekend art project to spray paint beach balls grey and make these suckers anatomically correct. anyone got the balls to do it?

Posted by josh | July 7, 2007 2:33 PM

Has anyone in Keizer actually seen a penis?

I love the quote about how the posts "look fine in the right context, just not here." Presumably in a bedroom, he means?

Posted by Gabriel | July 7, 2007 3:29 PM

Someone already posted this quote, but it's just too good not to post again.

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

Yes, retrofit them with Cock Rings and Chains! DO IT.

Curious they would take offence at the relatively benign, if somewhat anatomically analagous traffic barrier, but apparently find nothing offensive whatsoever about the ginormous, gas-guzzling, phallic symbol of an SUV sitting next to it.

I would think there would be complaints about people getting hurt by accidentally backing up into one of those.
I think I would call those juice-can dicks (after the stubby cafeteria and airline tomato juice cans).
There's a great idea lurking here though: a decorated fiberglass dick-walk much like have with our pigs. It would work for the Pike-Pine and Broadway.

COMTE @28 -- Right on ... I was thinking exactly that!

Damn it! Why do you post pictures like this in the open without a NSFW tag!?!? God... I'm going to have to stop checking Slog from work if this keeps up! I hope I don't lose my job for this :(

That's fantastic. They've actually managed to ensure that no one will ever be able to look at these posts again without thinking of penises. Way to go, guys! =)

Looks like these belong at a Japanese fertility festival.

How stupid. I mean, whose cock even looks like that?
