HILARIOUS: Illinois Church that looks like Male Organ from an Arial view
An Illinois church that looks like a penis from the sky will stay that way.
Officials at Christian Science Dixon are standing firm about the new structure, saying the church was designed to preserve a tree.
“We didn’t design it to be seen as what they’re seeing,” church officer Scott Shepherd told Sauk Valley Media. “And we didn’t design it to be seen from above.”
According to the Dixon church's Facebook page, the new structure was "intentionally designed around a beautiful oak tree." However, the shape of the church, as viewed on Google Earth, looks to many like a giant phallus.
The social media ribbing has been relentless.
"Check out this 'God's eye view' of a church in Dixon, Ill. Yeah, that's right, I said Dixon," read one Twitter post.
"A church in Dixon, Illinois looks like a penis from up here. Of course, the church motto is 'Rising Up,'" tweeted user almightygod, who has more than 50,000 followers.
An aerial photo of the church with a water main leak, which turned out to be photoshopped, was widely circulated online.
With the building expected to be completed next month, officials hope the toilet humor will subside.
“The Internet has great capability for good,” church officer Scott Shepherd told Sauk Valley Media, “and great capability for gossip and destruction.”
But even the church made light of the controversy on its Facebook page, joking, "Giant fig leaf coming soon."
