Yep, that looks like a penis alright.
There have been so many examples of penis-shaped architectural structures that we’re beginning to suspect that designers are doing them on purpose.
The latest example comes from Toronto, where transit officials removed a station map from the city’s Downsview Station shortly after it had been put up.
Why? Well, for reasons that will soon become extremely clear, on Monday, commuters in the Canadian city soon noticed that it looked like a penis. And quite a big penis for that matter.
A picture of the offending map soon surfaced on Twitter and became one of the busiest threads on Reddit/Toronto, where much hilarity ensued.
Is it just me, or does this newly erected map of Downsview station look like a giant schlong? @TTChelps @TTCnotices pic.twitter.com/C1Kk0HPQHN

A spokesperson for the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) told CBC News that TTC staff became aware of the fact that the picture had gone viral when it was tweeted along with the @TTChelps Twitter handle on Monday evening.
The map was gone by Tuesday morning, but there was still plenty of craic to be had.
So the #TTC removed this sign at Downsview station this morning. Wonder why? #RideTheRocket #topoli pic.twitter.com/YtxjoxHvMX

For reference, this is what Downsview Station looks like from above and it can’t be just us who thinks that this whole mess was entirely avoidable and that the map didn’t necessarily have to resemble the male reproductive organ.
Ah well, at least they learned their lesson and managed to erect correct it without too much delay.
