KEIZER, Ore. - 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.

A total of 52 of the posts were installed at a busy intersection in Keizer and they are getting a lot of second glances.

A number of residents have complained to the city that the posts resemble male genitalia.

"I can't disagree with that," said City Manager Chris Eppley. "They certainly did not turn out the way we anticipated."

According to Eppley, the posts were ordered from a catalog and looked much different on paper.

"They're a standard style," Eppley said. "I think in the right context they look fine. They just happened not to (look fine) here."

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.

Of course, the city could always keep them up and use them for sex education, at least according to one woman we spoke to. "My son said he wanted to hang a sign on it that says 'always use protection,'" she said.

Cock block!

I say they just have the local geeks bust out the spray paint and make them into R2 Droids.
 
There are identical posts in Portland (OR), on several blocks near Tom McCall Waterfront Park, at the heart of the city, in pretty much the most heavily trafficked area in all of Oregon. Pretty sure no one has made a formal complaint about them looking like penises.
 
so easy to fix that..just cut off the top of the penis and it would look like a normal column. no need to waste $20k.
 
What a bunch of dumbasses. People see what the WANT to see in something. Maybe the problem is not the posts. I have seen those posts in the past and never thought about a pecker.
 
wow if i lived in tht town i would go to the town meeting and bitch of what a waste of tax payers money it would be to replace them. if some uptight turd sees a dick in that barrier then he/she has some real issues.
