Oak Park's new penis logo too shocking for some
This is an example of a decision by committee run amuck.
Oak Park, a suburb of Chicago where we like to go sometimes to watch movies and walk down the cute, Mayberry-like main street, hired a bunch of consultants to come up with a new logo for the city.
So, of course, they chose one that looks like either a penis or a sex toy, depending on your imagination.
We would have drawn something that looked like an oak tree, or maybe a park, for Oak Park. But, what do we know. Penises are in this year.
Dealing with liberals who have any sort of ability to spend public money is always hilarity waiting to happen. These people are RIDUNKULOUS. Trust us, having lived in Chicago for over five years, and having been privy to more than our fair share of meetings after meetings related to special events in this town. Every decision is a decision by committee. The end results are normally as aerodynamic and graceful as a hippopotamus on roller skates. Committees do not make the best decisions. Watering everything down so that “everyone has a say” is never the right move. Does anyone else remember that car Homer Simpson once designed, which had a bubble top and ice cream maker and separate pod for the kids to sit in? That’s what we always think of when we hear “consenus decision” on anything.
Oh, and now we’ll think of the Oak Park penis logo too.
Because this one’s classic.
And the FUNNIEST thing about it is that the committee refuses to even admit it looks like a penis. Because, if they admitted that, then they’d look foolish, and have to say they were wrong, and those are things liberals can never, ever do.
It’s why the most entrenched liberal elites will never admit what a disaster the current president is either. Because that would mean having to say they were wrong. And copping to what a d*** they put in the White House, too.

I don’t see it. I don’t get it.
What are they offended about?
I think it is the committee’s homage to the big O – Obama!
Seriously!
But it’s odd, I didn’t know one of Obama’s names was Dick.
I see an ACORN in that logo too!
What, they couldn’t add a leaf (homage to the “Oak?”
Buttered, how about ‘Ditherer-in-Chief’ (DiC) for short?
Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk…my work here is done.
That’s it Mary!
Bravo Mary!
My I humbly suggest…..
“Ditherer-in-Chief Knucklehead” or for
short, DICK!
May that is!
If you squint a bit, it sort of looks like the staffel markings in Jagdgeswader units in WWII.
Do the residents of Oak Park practice a lot of scarification?
Maybe just the committee members do that.
Hillbuzz, chew on this. Seems this person did an info dump on Turbo Tax Timmy Geithner.
Timmy was not raised in the US either.
Apparently, Obama’s momma worked with Timmy’s daddy in Indonesia.

Yes, Obama’s Mommy (the lady banker Drysdale) did work with Geithner’s daddy.
It must be freeing to blithely traipse through life as a liberal … none of that pesky “conscience” thing jam up the works.
LoL That’s right Granny,
They are 100% convinced they are right and that they are GOD.
So they waste their whole lives building structures for us mere mortals to live and die in.
Can you say “Death Panels?”
Stalin, Mao, and Hilter are smiling up at them methinks.
It looks like one of those mini vibrators. With the “park” the part you twist.
I’d have gone with an oak leaf or something, but I’m a scientist – what do I know about logos.
You know the old saying: A camel is a horse designed by a committee.
In all our towns
and in all our cities,
there are no statues to committees!
That’s hilarious, Hillbuzz. In my town we have a giant toliet bowl, a uterus, and what appears to be a bronzed pile of dog poop. I’ve decided that committees and art do not mix.
I bet they paid a high six figure to low seven figure amount to achieve such a “unique” symbol.
LOL..if they’re anything like my city council, they paid millions just to “study” the design, before the millions they would spend to create it.
We should have a contest to come up with a better design, as they should have and draw from the graphic talent in the Chicagoland area
I agree with you guys on the proper logo for Oak Park. I am also a Chicago suburbanite and I have made numerous trips past Oak Park on the way to the city. It’s too bad that they came out with this logo and then deny it to people’s faces when they tell the officials what comes to mind.
Pretty funny. I will have to check it out next time I head to OP for a Five Guys burger.
Oak Park: We’re coming on strong!
Oak Park: A mighty branch
Oak Park: Cock of the Walk
I’m sure I’ll have more.
Another day, another way to get the d*** out of the White House …

And here in lies the operation of government issues. You take a good thing, “improve upon it” and make it ridiculous.
Why couldn’t they just stick to oak leave?
Hey….all it says is…..’Come Squat Here.’
The welcome wagon has a tube of lube.
Cause you know you’re gonna get the shaft!
I hear they paid $65,000 for a study re promotion of the city, and this came with it. The citizens are not happy about it.
I find it strange that they wouldn’t want to change it after people mention it to them. Normally, companies want nothing to do with it if it just has a hint of suggestive connotation. Oh well, I take it that stuff on their face isn’t eggs.
Awful. Looks like something from 1974.
Or 1984.
