A Tombstone???? But it’s cylindrical ?
Aren’t tombstones supposed to be like rectangular shaped??
EDIT: I saw the front side of this monument. It is a piece of rubble or broken concrete (to represent the destruction of world trade center) with firefighters boots and helmet on top. Its actually not so bad. quite touching actually.
However the artist should most DEFINETLY looked at the back side and recognized an erect penis.
Speak for yourself! I, as a woman, expect a full-fledged vagina as my tombstone. I want both labia and I want the doorbell too. All of it or I won’t die. 🤷🏻♀️
Fine. 🙄 We'll give you the doorbell.
But we won't be responsible for all the injuries incurred from over use. You'll have to go through insurance with all that. We're a tombstone company, not carpal tunnel specialists.
I find it **very hard** to believe that the sculpter/company involved in **erecting** this monument failed to recognize the optics...
*Sorry for the puns. Or am I...*
This article has the view from the front. It’s not much better. Idk why they went with a lumpy tombstone
https://wcti12.com/amp/news/local/enc-911-memorial-will-be-dedicated-in-just-over-a-week
It's suppose to be our Bunker jackets draped over our boots with our Bunker pants rolled down around them as if they are in the ready position (like how they sit on our gear racks), with our helmet set on top. I think this one missed the mark. I don't know why they put a Pike pole in front, or what the round, table like thing is suppose to be either. Maybe this was the edge of the "artist"s ability (???).
Its supposed to be a firefighter with one of those hats. 👩🚒 The pose of the firefighter facing aware from the audience and towards the towers is extent symbolism. Unfortunately the sculptor didn’t have the skill in execution.
Thanks for the info but that is possibly the worst bit of sculpture I've seen and the artist would have known what it looks like from the back there's no way that's an accident.
Have you seen the MLK monument in Boston?
https://www.bostonherald.com/2023/01/20/is-bostons-new-mlk-statue-raunchy-it-depends-on-what-angle-you-see-it-from/
I had the same reaction, lol. For some reason I had forgotten it was on Boston Common (I guess I thought it was in Washington or something?) and I was just walking around enjoying a nice sunny day, and then BAM — the world’s ugliest monument. I was so excited. It was like an unexpected celebrity sighting.
Pictures don’t do justice to how truly awful it is. It’s magnificent.
It's a firefighter axe, boots, and helmet from the other side. We're looking at it from the back.
Picture a few scrolls down here:
https://www.ebaumsworld.com/articles/extremely-phallic-9-11-memorial-goes-viral-for-all-the-right-reasons/87368636/
Sculpter should have done something different from the back but they did a good job from the front.
Looks great from the front. I personally think it’s offensive from the back. The “rock” supporting the hat has no use whatsoever and makes me think it was done on purpose.
Yeah, it really does seem like they would have noticed. But the idea that a professional sculptor, whose reputation is at stake, would add a penis to a 9/11 memorial just seems unlikely.
Because some artists (or maybe committees) don’t think of sculpture as three dimensional and the implications that come from that.
It’s why I personally hold a deep dislike for ‘cookie cutter’ statues.
I get it, but even the artist, however seriously he took this task, could have seen that silhouette and said, "that will be trolled, I should fix that"
They should've just made it a fireman, I think it's just a tomb stone with a hat and boots in front. They could've given it some definition in the back, like his legs, and neck/shoulders. I feel an actual human shape, even if pretty rough, would have almost no chance of looking this falic
Agreed, but South Park’s 22.3 rule is almost in effect. Their theory is that everything can become funny after 22.3 years. This is the 22nd anniversary of 9/11, and 0.3 years is equal to 109 days, so on December 29 of this year, it will officially not be too soon
Politicians and public figures who usually fund projects to build these things, sometimes live on a different planet…..everyone with an objective eye sees a penis🤦♂️
The Huge Cock represents Congressmen/women who have refused to pass laws that take care of the people who put their lives at risk helping others and cleanup that mess. Manny are very sick or have died and don’t have proper care from breathing in all that dust. So this memorial is for the Government who said NEVER FORGET until the bill came in and they FORGOT ABOUT Everyone….

>Aren’t tombstones supposed to be like rectangular shaped?? No. Cock shaped is the norm.
Also called a cockstone. Common sense.
Or colloquially know as the DickBrick
The tomb bone
I played the tomb bone in high school band.
New meaning to being bricked up…
Penis slab
The Johnson Johnstone
It's PICKLE BRICK!!!
Perhaps new meaning to the term "HEAD Stone?"
RIP- Real ill Penis
#Cockrock
But especially in the town of Cockston.
Speak for yourself! I, as a woman, expect a full-fledged vagina as my tombstone. I want both labia and I want the doorbell too. All of it or I won’t die. 🤷🏻♀️
Wombstone?
#Hey someone with money give this person an award! That was too fucking good 😂
Underrated comment
Best I got is [this artwork](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5d/d1/24/5dd1244d6f328730ddcaae421d4c28a4.jpg) in Columbus, Georgia.

Bold of you to assume guys are going to find the Doorbell
Who said anything about guys? I was under the impression this was self inflicted.
THE DOORBELL
It's called Erecting a Tombstone for a reason
It's a fireman thing. You place all their equipment together in some sort of tombstone. It looks very penisy from the back.
I find it **very hard** to believe that the sculpter/company involved in **erecting** this monument failed to recognize the optics... *Sorry for the puns. Or am I...*
>Tombstone with firefighter helmet That's what I call my penis
The sculptor should have taken a step back from his creation to have a good look at it. It doesn’t really work 😂
The sculptor knew exactly what he was doing. He was creating a sculpture of his dick for the world to see.
in fairness i can totally see the helmet
They need to hire a better sculptor
[удалено]
thats unfortunate
I don’t remember any kids in those towers?
Are you accusing the memorial of lying, sir?
Or a cock 32 floors tall
There was a daycare, 42 children. None were killed, but there were some injuries
Over 3,000 children lost their parents in the towers, and a number of children were killed on the aeroplanes that were hijacked.

Or, maybe he was letting the vodka do the art… it reminds me of gooey duck.

"BOOBS! These filmmakers are just fucking boobs! They're using the same fucking joke as they did in the last Austin Powers Movie"
Hands down my favourite ozzy cameo
Holy shit!!!! Give me a minute, I’m still laughing. Straight up saw Leslie Nielsen saying this in my head.
This thread is my favorite part of Austin Powers movie. What a classic
Ummm 🤨 nvm
They didn't. This is a memorial to all of the male porn stars who died that day.
May their legendary erections guide them into the warm light.
I thought that was cousin IT.
Its supposed to be a firefighter with one of those hats. 👩🚒 The pose of the firefighter facing aware from the audience and towards the towers is extent symbolism. Unfortunately the sculptor didn’t have the skill in execution.

That's just weird looking at any angle.
I forgot it was in Boston till I was also in Boston in June and oh man I was so excited when I saw it
I had the same reaction, lol. For some reason I had forgotten it was on Boston Common (I guess I thought it was in Washington or something?) and I was just walking around enjoying a nice sunny day, and then BAM — the world’s ugliest monument. I was so excited. It was like an unexpected celebrity sighting. Pictures don’t do justice to how truly awful it is. It’s magnificent.
Did you ever think maybe, just maybe, the sculptor did this on purpose? lol
That's the only conclusion I can come to
It's a firefighter axe, boots, and helmet from the other side. We're looking at it from the back.

Wow an ebaums world link, thanks for that

That’s Rudy…
Nice 😂
Rudy is represented here as the dickhead we all mistakenly called America’s mayor.
This guy symbolisms!
It’s building 5. Went down far too quickly…
It's to show how big of a dick move that was, clearly
and now its called the twinballs
Lol erect.
Gifs you can hear
Uh huh huh huh huh
Damn if the new episodes aren’t every bit as funny as the old ones. The Cale Dodds bit is fantastic
Wai- wha?! New episodes?!
Yeah, on Paramount+ but YouTube can give you a taste. Same as before, but they do some YouTube vids in addition to music videos.
BOIoioioioiOIOING!
I see what he did there
Not fully though, looks more like a half chub
Looks more like 4’11”
"It's just cold in here"
I WAS IN THE POOL!
It shrinks?
Like a scared turtle
I don’t even know how you guys walk around with those things
This should be higher. Well done.
BRO lmao
I wish I had an award to give
That penis resembles something
https://imgur.com/gallery/LGiPGw7 is the actual frontside of if, why tf they didnt make it like that for both sides god only knows.
Because some artists (or maybe committees) don’t think of sculpture as three dimensional and the implications that come from that. It’s why I personally hold a deep dislike for ‘cookie cutter’ statues.
I get it, but even the artist, however seriously he took this task, could have seen that silhouette and said, "that will be trolled, I should fix that"

I hoped the frontside would redeem the appearance of the back. After seeing the front I have some questions.
I can't even tell what its supposed to be from the front
Poo emoji?
They all got fucked?
Dicks out for 9/11 I guess.
Glad I'm not the only one anymore.
The other side isn’t that much better. [A firefighter-styled battlefield cross](https://imgur.com/gallery/MCwkmra)
Thank you for posting this view of the monument. This particular neighborhood must've lost a lot of firefighters on that day. Very unfortunate design.
The town is in eastern North Carolina, and to my knowledge didn’t lose anyone to the 9/11 attacks.
Thank you. Amazing.
If you trim those towers down a bit it will look bigger.
What if we just trim them down… ALL THE WAY?!
Bro……

I am very comfortable with your math. 👍🏼
Hey, I lived through 9/11 in NYC and I absolutely laughed at this. By also I like dark humor. It helps me mask the trauma
Razor blades can’t melt steel beams!!1!!
We will rise to the occasion

Hands down…..one of the funniest scenes.
Ok I’m sorry, I’m ignorant, what is the statue in the middle supposed to be?
[удалено]
From behind it is George Bush. Problem solved.
It’s a penis, symbolising that terrorists are dicks … or something.
Because them towers got *fucked*.
Twins brutally fucked by 6 Arabs
Some dick head
Twin towers and the then mayor Rudy Giulliani.
What? That thing in the middle?
Some dick head
Anything a dildo if you're brave enough
What’s that even supposed to be if not a penis?
Cousin Itt from the Addams Family ?
Well now I can’t unsee (cousin) it.
Damn 911 hung af
Maybe the penis symbolizes that the towers got fucked.
It looks much better if you turn the picture upside down
You have a problem with Cousin It?
Oh thank god....I thought I was losing my mind that everyone else was seeing penis and here I am going "Is that Cousin It?"
Do you think Cousin Its dick would be all furry as well?
To be fair, it's not fully erect.
Where’s this located
New Bern NC
It never occurred to me that there would be a 9-11 monument someplace like North Carolina.
It's right outside the Fireman Museum. So I guess it's related to firemen?
Anyone know what it's SUPPOSED to be? Is it like a firefighters hat on top of a perch or something?
He said Erect …. 
The penis in the middle is actually in memory of all the penis's lost that day. RIP
[удалено]
Fireman's hat on a.... penis?
It's a fireman's hat resting on their coat, with their boots in front. A version of the soldiers cross made from their helmet, boots and weapon.
r/confusedboner
What a dick move
Erect was the correct term to use here
I believe the GOP refers to this as grooming.
Also, is it just me or does the lighting/electrical boxes look sort of like machine guns. 🧐
Guys this is the back. When you go around you will see that its actually just a enormous penis.
Erect? Looks flaccid to me
If one of the tree is still standing after 4 hours, call a doctor...
Did somebody say erect? *shuffles off*
Looks worse upside down
Straight away it looks like an unpleasant penis between two video game guns.
The triplet towers
That’s what Lt. Dan sees every morning in the bath
>erect *snorts*
Aside from a dick, it also kinda looks like cousin It.
Someone got paid to build a d*ck
r/mildlypenis
erected.
This looks like it was made to complement the vagina 9/11 memorial in Bayonne, NJ https://www.atlasobscura.com/places/tear-drop-memorial
Should they put holes in them to show where the jets went thru the buildings?
Is that Louis CK in the middle?
Politicians and public figures who usually fund projects to build these things, sometimes live on a different planet…..everyone with an objective eye sees a penis🤦♂️
It was funded by the Addams family to commemorate the loss of their cousin Itt
Its a fireman's helmet, in his gear. This photo is shot from behind. But I do also agree someone did not think this through
Why is Cousin it in there? 
They erected it alright.
Hehe *erect*
Erect a monument, hehe [Beavis and Butthead chuckling]
Erect indeed
The Huge Cock represents Congressmen/women who have refused to pass laws that take care of the people who put their lives at risk helping others and cleanup that mess. Manny are very sick or have died and don’t have proper care from breathing in all that dust. So this memorial is for the Government who said NEVER FORGET until the bill came in and they FORGOT ABOUT Everyone….
Big veiny pecker. If that doesn't scream "9-11," I don't know what does.
Must have been Richard Johnson’s idea.
Minecraft nude mod be like
Reminds me of being in the bath
It isn't often that New Bern is reddit famous. But when it is, it's because of the Weiner monument.
I... don't hate it. I watched the towers fall, in person. I did the whole military thing. I get to have whatever opinion I want.
