When mentioning the eiffle tower, there is often a smart allec piping up from the back- claiming “oh its phallic imagery, yah know my cocks bigger than yours kind of stuff”, well as usual the brainiacs are blinded by their single track observations. Even in the novel The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown describes the Eiffel Tower as a thousand-foot phallus, but then, for the eiffle tower to be a massive male organ, why not the Arc de Triomph as its female counter part? Could we not argue that arch way is representative of the female hips and legs?
- The female monument
I mean to say that poor Mr. Gustav Eiffel, most likely designed the monument with broadcasting in mind, after all it bears far more resemblance to a radio mast than to a phallus. And infact was set up to broadcast radio when Mr. Eiffle retired. We dont march around calling anything vaguely tower like a giant cock, so just because the french have built a giant pointy tower in their capital it doesn’t mean they are declaring they have the biggest cock in the world. Imagine if someone, like me, turned round and declared that nelsons colomn represented our hero sat on top of a giant penis- i would be laughed out of the room, down the street, and round the corner, it just couldn’t happen. So i assume, its just because they’re French and the English love having a pop at them. So perhaps next time that smart alec pipes up from the crowd he would say “Bloody French, you know what they’re like, all they live for is the cock”.
