Are these traffic posts NSFW?

The City of Keizer is taking heat for installing a group of cement posts designed to protect pedestrians from cars, but which some say is a phallic symbol.
...
The city is looking into retrofitting the posts with metal collars and chains that run between them, which they hope will change the look. If not, they said the posts will have to go.

"If that fix doesn't work and I still think they look inappropriate, we'll have wasted $20,000 and we'll have to do something different," Eppley said.

Jeebus jumpin Keyrist... no, they aren't phallic...
What kinda of anal retentive fucks are these people... I'm a sick bastard and I don't see a phallic symbol in that

I've seen those in plenty of other places. Christ, I thought I was immature. Grow up, citizens of Keizer, Ore.

 

Are you fucking kidding me?

Now, if they shot water out the top ...

 

What everyone just said!

These people need to grow up... fast.

 

OK...I'll admit I laughed when I saw the photo. But still, these residents are being more than a tad touchy.

 

To the residents of Keizer: Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.






Perverts.

 

Out of curiosity, what is the purpose of the channel that seems to define the alleged glans?
Why hasn't a reporter called the manufacturer to ask about that?

 

I doubt there is a real purpose other than to prevent the posts from seeming to be too bland.

While it isn't a real stretch to call them phallic looking, these residents need to grow the hell up and get out of the third grade.

 

Don't they know putting collars and chains on them will make them look more kinky?

 

Do you think Mary Nam is that anchor's real name?

 

I agree that the people of the town and the municipal gov't are being silly.
I also wonder why the manufacturer chose that design.
