Does the Space Ship have a familiar shape?
I know that I have a dirty mind, but am I the only one who has noticed this?

Many sci fi space ships are similarly shaped. Not unique to Firaxis Art Department -- they might not have even noticed it. Besides, adult toy stores don't have those cutters (fins) on their products (not that I have seen, anyway).

At least it doesn't look like the space ships in Flesh Gordon. Or even the original Flash Gordon which was pretty close to the ones in the parody.

Staying in and using your imagination is crucial to this game!

I don't find it interesting at all. But I do think its disturbing. Though the disturbing thing about it is that individuals are actually actively looking for these sorts of things, and then pointing them out.

First of all, this entire thread is assinine and immature. Thus, I love it!
Second, why does any type of architecture even slight resembling male genitalia bother some people so much? I doubt the architect had phallus on the brain at the time of design, and even if he/she did, who cares? Are we all ashamed of our bodies? Should we clothe all the ancient works of art that depict nudity as well?
Third, it looks to me like the Ambigously Gay Duo's car from SNL.

Yes, we are ashamed of our bodies. It's weird, and nobody can quite tell you why we are, just that we are, and mabye some flimsy excuse.
But anyway, I think the ship looks like those rockets France launches in French Guiana. A bit.
Guiana Rockets-

I think it's symbolic of the desire to expand into the universe, to go forth and multiply.
