Giant pink penis in Sydney (NSFW?)

So a giant pink condom was placed on top of Sydney's obelisk in the CBD to promote AIDS/HIV awareness.

Not surprisingly the Australian Christian Lobby is going "OH NOEZ THINK OF THE CHILDRENZ!!!!!111!!!eleventy!!!!" while everyone else finds it amusing.

That makes me think of a Thailand restaurant that Andrew Zimmern visited. Gave out condoms instead of mints.

I don't think Adam&Eve carries anything quite that big and filling . . .

But I do agree with the sentiment . . . it definitely gets attention (not to mention a bunch of giggles.)

I'm impressed they got it up so quickly. Let's wrap this up before another penetrating issue comes at us.

[Tama]

Let's hope the people working on this project don't get shafted.

Clearly they feel this important issue must be thoroughly covered. I'm glad they have decided to expose this issue to the public. Let's all stand at attention and salute their extremely hard yet satisfying work and hope that this will stand as the seminal achievement in promoting awareness of this longstanding issue.

This reminded me of something. I went to Australia and New Zealand when I was about 14, and saw the sights. Well, there is a giant tower in Sydney for sightseers to look over the city.

There is an almost identical tower in Auckland, NZ too. They built it after Sydney finished theirs, and built it one story higher. The natives refer to it as the "Penis of Auckland" and love to point out that, naturally, it's bigger than Sydney's.

I love random rivalries like that.

At least it promotes a better message than Paris' buttplug

I didn't even know Paris had a back door.

Of course, I wonder how it would stand up to the Washington Monument.

Sounds like the Sydney Tower. That is strangely not very phallic shaped...:\
