This is what AT&T (Cingular) installed when they were first forced to
disguise a cell tower or monopole and had no clue what they were doing
but had to build it in a hurry:

I'll spare you the jokes about standing lumber trees.

People drove for considerable distances to see this abomination when
it was first installed about 20(?) years ago. Incidentally, it's 90ft
high. There was some official debate over the distinction between a
genuine disguise monopine and an attractive nuisance. This created an
awkward situation for AT&T, where modifying or rebuilding the tower
might be construed as agreeing with their critics. So, it was left
unchanged for a few years until the bad jokes died down. A water tank
now sits on the location and a new cell site was built somewhere
close, but further away from the nearby residential areas.

Then, there's the giant cucumber tower:

Anything worth doing, is also worth over-doing:

Just off the interstate in South Carolina where everyone can see it is a
water tower made to look like a peach.

When it was in its orange primer it looked like a giant butt sticking
up. Even after the peach color was added it still looks like a butt.
