Montreal's Giant Ring Is Being Compared To A Certain Sex Toy (Among Other Things)
Stargate, genital jewelry or gaping orifice?
Rendering of 'The Ring' in downtown Montreal.
Chicago has the Bean. Montreal has a giant c**k ring? At least a few dozen social media users are seeing a resemblance between the sex toy and Montreal's forthcoming The Ring, a 50,000-pound stainless steel sculpture set to tower above downtown Montreal's Esplanade PVM and avenue McGill College.
But that's not all. Others have likened the sculpture to an intergalactic portal.
Still many more are echoing a refrain common whenever Montreal gets nice things: Why spend public money on this when you could spend money on road infrastructure?
But hey, at least we can giggle at the c**k ring jokes.

Many (many, many, many) others are simply baffled anyone would spend money on art instead of asphalt.
5 millions dollars spent on a useless ring in downtown Montreal instead of fixing the millions of potholes in their streets\u2026\n\nCongrats Montreal\u2026— Ajax Fox\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6 (@Ajax Fox\ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\udde6) 1651063138
Montreal to install a 50,000-pound ring in its downtown core, reportedly costing $5 million. \n\nZA: For that price, this better be a portal to a dimension where there are no potholes, street garbage, bad sidewalks, and orange cones.https://montreal.ctvnews.ca/montreal-to-install-50-000-pound-ring-in-its-downtown-core-1.5877029\u00a0\u2026— Zeynep Arsel (@Zeynep Arsel) 1651069120
