Oregon Residents Offended by Traffic Posts
In the town of Keizer, apparently a lot of people have phallus on the brains. It wouls also seem that they would rather have $20K plus of their tax money wasted than be confronted by the horrifying thoughts of male anatomy.
Note the angle the photo is taken to maximize the offending phallic shape. What kind of people call and complain about something like this? Hopefully the city's more kinky solution will put the residents at ease:
Quote:
In other news, cucumbers and orchids will be banned in Keizer. Film at 11. |

I supposed the more appropriate headline should have been "Traffic Posts Too Vanilla for Dirty Keizers"

This is what such things look like in Amsterdam, and have looked like for many generations. Notice the small hole on top.

It is a traditional part of the coat of arms of Amsterdam, dating back to the Middle Ages. It is therefore a symbol for Amsterdam, not a symbol for anything of 'questionable morality'.
And it is not XXX, it is: X X X Very different. "Prince Albert" ? Okay, I had to look that up. All hail Wikipedia. |

Some people just aren't happy unless they have something to be angry about.
I don't know what's worse, the people that are offended or that the city is listening to them. |

Lemme guess, Keizer is a town dominated by conservatives?

Funny how prudes always seem to have phallus-on-the-brain disorder. If not for the angle the picture was taken at, I wouldn't have looked twice.

Judging by what they think looks like a penis, it's appears they haven't seen very many penises. Hmmm, maybe that's part of their problem.

They ought to go a step further and get some large, round pieces of concrete to secure to the base of it. I'm just guessing the Oregon resident are feeling slightly envious of those posts.

Well, if they do decide to pull them out [snicker], the $20,000 need not be wasted. With a little tubing, a pump and a drill they can turn them into fountains.

Its just laughable how city officials and others like them cave in when hysterics scream "woaaaahh, it makes us think of sex, take it away, think about the children!!!" Instead they should just have kept a pokerface and said: "You see a dick there? Really? Hmmm...."
By the way, my hometown has this joyfull ensemble wellcomming people arriving by train, just outside the main entrence of the station building. You can allmost se half the lower part of the womans legs. http://www.matton.se/extend.php?lsok...ures&i=1108512 |

You wonder if all the nonsense would have stopped if the City Manager had simply said, "It's a traffic post, people. Grow up."

What is Oregon's take on canyons, fish, tacos and beavers?

The Oregon State Flag has a beaver on the reverse. Always good for a laugh when I was growing up. (insert Beavis and Butthead laugh here.)
