Architecture can be a real dick sometimes. Relax, I’m not saying that, but China’s newest architectural wonder has people musing on those very lines!
Say hello to Guangxi New Media Centre, a marvel erected in Guangxi in southeast China that took two years to build. Oh, also, it looks like a penis.

Okay, I know. It doesn’t really look like one. But the internet is a naughty, naughty place. And it decided to make the resemblance a bit more uncanny by adding some special effects to it. Nothing much, just a bunch of fireworks very strategically spurting out!
A video that has now gone viral on social media shows the buiilding, on lit up, and…. Well, you can see for yourself why people are kind of calling it the Penis Tower!
Naturally, the trolls are doing what they do best.
Not one to look a chance to crack some NSFW penis jokes, these peeps!
So….location #nanning China 🇨🇳

Was ERECTED 🤨Depending on the angle of the photograph , it is in fact erected 😉

A truly remarkable erection indeed!
中国の広西自治区南寧市にできたビルがあれにしか見えないと中国のSNSで話題に。先日の中秋節と竣工を祝って打ち上げた花火動画に、ハート型の火花を加工して拡散する愉快犯もいたり。

Exactly!
And so the world’s newest euphemism is born. Guangxi New Media Centre.

Someone imagined a conversation with the architect…
"I do like it but don't you think perhaps it's a little … you know… a little bit too penisy?"
Architect: "Don't worry, there'll be so many fireworks and lights on the launch night, nobody will ever notice" pic.twitter.com/rqh04z5L2a

This rather philosophical take on the phallic structure.
After further research, the Guangxi New Media Centre only looks phallic from that one angle, and the fireworks were fake, but
There are enough buildings to make this a successful thriving business, and I KNOW there are people out there who would fuck them if given half a chance

Sorry, the internet’s being a dick about it, China. But guess who started it?
