The Environmental Graffiti blog recently featured the:
11 Most Suggestive Structures on Earth (July 13, 2009).
Somehow they missed the obvious—The Fuji Latex building in Tokyo.
Fuji Latex is Japan’s largest condom manufacturer and nearly every person traveling on the expressway to and from Tokyo’s Narita International Airport must pass by their flesh-colored headquarters.

This happy headquarters, the ribbed “Condom Building,” is described by Fuji Latex as, “ contributing to the people all over the world for their health and wealthy life to make themhappy.”

Will i be happy if I try out their condoms, mr Taro?
The building looks more like a giant dildo to me…maybe they build it that way to expect a godzilla’s mom “attack”. haha
No way!
Pshaw! How can that compare to the great “Penis of the Plains”—the standard name for Nebraska State Capitol.
