Why don't they erect a 250-foot phallis? Who would find that offensive?

So they're putting up an extralarge version of a device used in executions. Nice. What's next, a 300ft electric chair in some Texan town? A extralarge guillotine in Paris? I find it all a bit worrying.

And I am not going into the religious part of it because I think that's been covered.

This is just sick. I hope the thing doesn't stand for more than a week.

For comparison's sake:

Buddha:
-happy guy
-he's concentrating on something
-better proportioned for largeness
-little religious implications, more like a nightclub
-rub his belly for good luck

Star of David
-ugly when large, I imagine
-represents...something Jewish
-I don't think the Jews love it enough to perch it on the hills
-would cast ugly shadows

Bong
-good times
-functional
-no religious correlation, except when used to create one
-probably be bad taste and ugly

Crucifix:
-dead guy
-proportionally quite ugly
-usually seen perched atop something, not stuck in the ground
-enough of them already, go somewhere else to see one
-represents christianity
-nothing really great about them
-only nice on small scale and when thinking of humility, not when I'm smoking it up on my porch.


There are more good things about the rest of those things. I wouldn't want any of them in my back yard, although I could live with the Buddha, or possibly a big tiki guy.

I'd hate to be stood underneath it if it didn't stand

red_jon, they should put a huge artificial geyser on the top of your phallus that spurts hot water high into the sky every so often

- It would be shamefully tacky, and inappropiate even if allowed...
-I would be forced to drive by this distressingly morbid religious symbol every single day on my way to work in Ann Arbor..

And if Jesus were really to come back, he would take one look at it and laugh his freekin' A$$ off.

There really is that sort of a monumental sculpture here in Portland. The only difference is that the Giant Phallus is really a set of somewhat smaller phalli. But the water spurts are real. It's a sort of coital calliope.

Bloody hell, I never expected to see this again.

I haven't heard anything about it, so I can only assume that no decision has been reached as of yet.
