World’s Largest… Erection.
Friday, 20th July 2007 by Alex Turnbull
I'm sorry to report that I don't mean any old structure either... nope, this is honestly claimed by the Chinese to be The World's Largest Phallus. At least I think this is it - as you can see the satellite shot isn't vey clear. To make up however, here's a gratuitous ground-level photo!
The 9 metre erection (30 feet), is named Sky Pillar, and has been built at the Longwan Shaman Amusement Park in Changchun city, and apparently symbolizes the "pursuit of happiness and prosperity".
Which is pretty fitting really huh?
Thanks to kjfitz, read the full story at Ananova.

Nobody consulted me about this.
Surely this is just a cock and bull story
I wonder if someone could make a giant condom and put it on there while nobody was looking.
@Andrew… That would be a great marketing scheme for Trojan! LOL!
On a related note: My local town wanted to “erect” this monument. There was quite a bit of fuzz about and they decided to put it up for one weekend to see how people reacted. It’s not there right now so I think they called the whole thing off.
I think they meant it to be the largest “election”.
You sure there’s no G at the end of that first word?
Anyway, it floors me that this is at an amusement park. More evidence that the rest of the world is a lot less prudish than America. Not that I’m encouraging the construction of penises at Six Flags… I’m just saying. American parents would flip out, frantically cover their child’s unassuming eyes, and probably file a lawsuit and contact the media. OMG SMUT IN OUR PARKS!
They may have the world’s largest phallic building, but the town I live in has the most phallic building
also seen here in Google Maps
WOnder if the Cerne Abbas giant has envy or not?
If anyone can find Rocco Siffreddi’s house, THEN you will see the worlds biggest erection. Lucky bastard!
I think the prize goes to Barcelona’s Torre Agbar, 142 metre (465 feet). It realy spiced the skyline of Barcelona.
