You thought Keizer had a problem?
That's nothing compared to what's being erected in San Diego. (Via Bean.)

“If it looks like a phallic symbol, someone has a strange perception,” said Shapery, a San Diego-based developer. “You can find sex anywhere if you want to. . . . There's just some sick people out there.”
That's what I'm talking about.

Reminds me of when I saw the new air traffic control tower at PDX for the first time..."Why, it looks like a giant
-----!" Or this kind of thing could just run in the family. My famous Aunt Sally screamed when she saw the grape oil paintings at Cafe de la Mer in Cannon Beach - "What are those??? Moldy testicles???!!!" All in the eye of the beholder I guess.

As I understand it the to-be residents of the top couple of floors are very sensitive.

Guess this one didn't make the cut.

Define "make the cut".

For me, nothing beats this thing, which I looked at up close for the better part of three years.

I would claim that the nominations must normally be situated in a horizontal orientation for authenticity, and I therefore win the title.
And we all know what went on inside the sleeper cars....

Gentlemen,
You're starting to worry me with all this homo erotic banter. Not to add to it, but this is my favorite building from the last decade:

OK, you guys are mildly amusing with your images. But really -- what is the deal with people seeing phallic symbols everywhere? "You can find sex anywhere if you want to..." - well, yes (imagery) and no (if you're actually looking -- I think that's some kind of law).

Don't bother me -- I'm listening to Steely Dan.

It must be the silly season as Andrew Sullivan is covering the same area (Oooerr). This is the clear winner:

I know it's not phallic looking, but the first time I heard the building referred to as "Big Pink" I snorted...loudly. :)

Five names that I can hardly
Stand to hear
Including yours and mine
And one more chimp who isn't here
