How could no one have seen this? The designer almost likely did this on purpose.

This is actually a pretty common image. But now with the New Gay Church of Francis, I could see that it might cause a freak out.

Exactly. It looks like a loaf of bread. If one has a dirty mind, or someone told me I should have a dirty mind, it looks like something else

No, he was using his bread for the erection.

Exactly. You can see his foot sticking out, planted firmly on the ground, in the second photo.
