Phallic fundraising

Today I discussed with my supervisor how to represent the status of a fundraiser on our website. We settled on the stereotypical thermometer approach, which was the method that was suggested to us from the person requesting the site.

After sketching a few designs as to how to accomplish this I took a step back and realized that a sheet of paper covered in crudely drawn thermometers in varying directions and statures looks remarkable like a field of penises. Having to share this newly found observation, I was promptly told to shred the paper after we were done and not to leave it laying around, even in the trash can. Although I think some hilarity would ensue, I had to agree. I also had to add that with one line I could make things so much worse, which of course I did just to prove a point.

The flaccid thermometer which would grow as it reached climax would have been quite the skeptical.
