Lol, looks to me like the perfect uniform accessory for jack-booted thugs!
In my area we have a couple of buildings with “interesting designs” that I’m not sure the architects intended the way people have been perceiving them. There’s the “toilet bowl” building and also the “shopping bag” building. It seems that shopping bag thing, or at least the architect is very popular here because he’s built more than a handful in different heights and sizes all over. For example.
There’s this building in San Diego which is perfectly ordinary when seen from the ground, not so much when seen from the air.
And this campaign bus featuring an extremely unfortunate placement of the candidate’s chest area over the bus’s pair of rear wheels, leading to the inevitable cartoons. Needless to say the bus was repainted almost immediately, with the candidate’s image well out of the way of any objects that might be subject to unwanted interpretation!
I wonder if someone in costumes did that to her on purpose. Or maybe it was a dare.
The badly placed Starbucks design on their delivery vans.

There is the giant sperm building in Tokyo aka the Asahai Beer Building: Asahi Beer Hall - Wikipedia
Every time I see the Lexus logo, I think that they should probably be named Nose Motor Company.
I always wonder if Chrysler meant the PT Cruiser to look like an eggplant. Or to have a “fat ass” appearance from behind.
I always thought the Honda Element looked like a backpack.
Evidently, so did one ad agency, with the headline “Why do you think it looks like a backpack?” and a ton of gear sitting beside it.
Part of my job now in advertising is to be a sort of ‘cultural editor’ to try and catch designs or messages that may look fine to most people in Japan but would be inappropriate elsewhere (since A: our clients are based overseas, and B: **everything **ends up on the internet)
They realized they needed someone to do this after one ad got an angry review from the client, and none of them could figure out why. I had to explain that a menorah is NOT a Halloween decoration!
