"An image right there... of the Leaning Tower of Pisa and ... the Washington Monument.... You tell me why those 2 phallic symbols are placed there..."

NYT columnist Bob Herbert gets embarrassingly mixed up about the image of the Victory Column in Obama's "biggest celebrity" commercial.



Hey, what about the use of Britney Spears in that ad? Spears!! Get it? Everyone knows spears area phallic symbols! Racist too, I might add.

Come on, Bob. Don't give up just because you got the monuments wrong. It's still a phallic symbol, and that ad is full of symbols that just won't quit.

Britney Spears and Paris Hilton.

Brit + Paris = Europe!

-ney + Hilton = knee + hotel = blatant sexual imagery.
