Nobody Gets EMail: The Next Hubble Bubble of London




Nobody Gets E-Mail:
Absurdity of the...decade.
What you see here, is the London's answer to the Eiffel Tower, and is that guy Anish Kapoor proud, or what? It is being designed by a very elite of the elite, a Royal Acdemician, which means, if Anish wants to build a really "ugly" lofty steel restaurant, and put it in the middle of London for the upcoming 2012 Olympics, he certainly can.
The Mayor of London called it a "great hubble bubble shista pipe" thereby letting you know that the mayor knows, and is quite proud of the fact, that only a man really stoned out of his mind could come up with this...rolla-coaster looking for a thrill, and I bet there will be many a shista- smoking tourist that will run to it with joy.
And if you think the thing looks a bit strange...the name is even stranger...
Picture this: A couple is looking over travel plans for their honeymoon..
"Honey, let's go see the Eiffel Tower on our honeymoon!"
Or..."Honey, lets go sed the ArcelorMittal Tower on our honeymoon!"
Really. One witness called it, Meccano on crack.
All I can say is: The Brits went from Benny Hill...to this? For $28.million dollars, it's a steal.
It is reported that 700 people an hour will be able to take a tour...but, I'd advise whoever goes, to bring a heavy coat and slippers...and make sure you have Olympic arms to catch yoursself on a windy day...
Did I mention it's lopsided?
Anyway, if nothing else, that old Tower of London is getting old. Maybe the next "threat to the throne" can just be hung from the top...of the ArcelorMittal Tower.
After he or she is giving a last tote.

Amfortas reckons:

... that it is a 'stimulus package' heralding a new era of building things just to pull down and recycle.

When a civilisation falls, it first goes mad.
