It looks like the architects for the new People’s Daily HQ in China made a bit of a c*ck-up during the design stage, as the rear of the building looks like a massive penis.

Strict Chinese sensors have been working hard to stop people from laughing at the hilariously shaped People’s Daily Building in Beijing.

The phallic shaped building is the new HQ of the People’s Daily newspaper, so if you thought the printing industry didn’t have it hard enough, think again.

The tower is currently under construction, but pictures have been making their way around the web and on Twitter causing the Chinese search engine Sina Weibo to block the search terms “People’s Daily” and “Building” from their service.

Now, in fairness to the architects the building only looks like a massive penis when it’s viewed from a particular angle. This is what the building actually looks like…

According to the Telegraph, “The People’s Daily is the official mouthpiece of the Chinese ruling party, whose vast propaganda and censorship machine tightly controls print, online and any other form of media.”
