In Mecca, you have to be one of the faithful going on hajj to get to kiss the black stone set in a silver vagina:

In Qatar, you'll only need to be faithful to a football team to get right inside their giant version.

The Accidental Vagina Stadium: Design for Qatar’s first 2022 World Cup purpose-built stadium released

Accidental? Who are they trying to kid? http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/the-accidental-vagina-design-for-qatars-first-2022-world-cup-stadium-released-8947447.html

The vagina is the canal. What you are showing is the vulva.

I know, but modern parlance seems to confuse the two - as does the linked article.
Even so, the bloke seems to be trying to stick his head in, and the fans will definitely be within.

The men don't wear underpants when they go to kiss that stone, apparently. I'm not kidding.

I think I read somewhere that they expect or hope that allah will, er, come, to the stadium, from above (like a missionary), during the, er, opening ceremony. Fans are being advised to bring waterproof clothing.

The other rumour I heard was that there was some discussion about plans for a roof, with a structure of crisscrossed cables, sewn into the sides.

I've been worshiping the vagina since I was 14.

So that's why the Mormons haven't got one too.

This video (try from 7mins) claims that it's derived from pre-Islamic worship, where both men and women were naked. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUC9MvjSo7Y
There's a second video in which he seems a bit rambling and inconsistent: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mg6RNz7Wmb4

btw the design of the stadium looked pretty cool to me and remind me flower more than vagina or vulva.

Nowt wrong with a bit of vagina fandom, but "worship" seems a bit much.

Be very afraid ...

it vexes me that i feel the need to take issue with the "black stone set in a silver vagina"; surely, 'tis 'tother way about?

I'm guessing you're not aware that flowers are frequently associated with vaginas or vulvas? Ever heard of Georgia O'Keeffe?

In fact, when I was a little girl they were called "wee flowers" in our family

No jokes about the 'wee'

Sorta like this: Warning*, looks like vagina!



*Why does that require a warning?

Mrs. Lak calls it that. She's a Geordie, don't you know.

I like Mrs Lak

(Don't know how she puts up with you but I like her )

She's a lucky lass. Any woman would trade places with her, and that's a fact.

Second one is a bit blatant, but the first is brilliant
