That's the Turtle Boy fountain in Worcester Common. A former girlfriend of mine lived in Worcester and showed me the fountain one day when I went to visit her.

Lol, we have a few landmarks in Toronto which are absolute eyesores as well. Every city has got them.

Here in Philly, right on top of city hall, we have this 37 foot tall statue of state founder William Penn with his cock out, ready to piss on unsuspecting citizens. Actually, it's just his hand, but if you're approaching city hall from the biggest boulevard downtown, this is the view you get:
