When You Realize You Can Never Go Home Again
When is a post not a post?
When it looks like a, well, when it looks phallic.
Some Keizer residents are saying their city has installed posts that have an unnerving resemblance to male genitalia. (Statesman Journal: "Keizer posts require delicate maneuvering")
BUT WAIT, here's the best part. Hoping to avoid the expense of tearing out and replacing the offending knobs, city officials are now considering adding a metal collar just below each head and joining the shafts together with chains. Because that de-sexualizes them completely. (Boing Boing: "Concrete cocks terrorize Oregon town")
This is the little town I grew up in. This is the little town I loved. It hurts my heart to see such ridiculousness coming from my little hometown.

Um, they look like posts. And believe me, if there's anyone who sees phallic symbols wherever he goes, it's me. But they look like posts.
Yeah, I have a really hard time believing that any reasonable person would have a problem with them.

Hahaha! Love the method of desexualization!
