This is one thing we can agree with. Along with the overwhelming majority of Parisians.

I like it and at the same time hate it, hence why I said I wasn't too sure how I felt about it. The only part I really hate is the gold exterior. Plus, I just saw a guy threaten to jump off of the top of it the other day lol.

All this due to the uglyness of the building?

You have to see it to understand. It's the type of building that is practically asking to be pissed or puked on by a bum in broad daylight. There's a direct relationship between how well buildings are liked and how well they are treated. You don't see graffiti on Louis Sullivan buildings for a reason.

Well it's the lines that I like, but the gold is a great feature. In fact it's the only use of gold that I've seen in a financial district that didn't scream of the 80s to me. It's like what Donald Trump could never do but has always wanted to.

I drive by this one almost daily ...



... although ... it's better following the x-bracing retro-fit.

Redneck Mansion.​

That is what they call: "all kinds of awesome".

Some selected, erm, highlights(?) from Atlanta's skyline.

What you can't really tell is that this building is somewhat triangular and now the blue windows don't really come through when you drive past it. It is more of a dull, concrete gray. Of course it is also one of the first buildings you see on the skyline...

New York World Trade Center twin towers. Thought they were the ugliest pair of phalluses when they were standing. Can't believe they're even uglier now that they fell down.

Ah.
It simply isn't worth the effort...

Jesus christ... if there is just one thing you can ******* hate about the emergence of "gender issues" and "women's studies" in every college curriculum is that everything that can even remotely in some way be said to resemble a penis is "phallic", and of course every patriarchal complex and issue that comes with it.... all of it negative, of course... and the pointing out of X object being phallic is like some sort of pseudo intellectual secret handshake that endears one to a bunch of ugly women with buzz cuts and faint mustaches.
