The Austin Motel. For those of you who might have seen this lovely hotel in my city. Take a look at that sign, and you shall see why we call it the Penis Motel. That was on the cover of the phone book one year, prompting much hilarity. It's a pretty place, and an excellent place to stay if you're visitng Austin.

That looks exactly like the Noah's Bagels sign in Berkeley. We called it the Big Glowing Penis. :)

Heheh, excellent. I'm glad there are more giant glowing penis signs out there.

My favourite example of a penis-in-advertising was the one used on the original cover of Disney's The Little Mermaid.

It's right in the middle of the castle in the background.

So that's where the mystery penis was! I remember hearing about that some time back and wondering what the hell that was all about.

Yes. And that's why they changed the cover when the movie was re-released on DVD.
