I still wanted the one that looks like the skyline is flipping the bird....

awww shit. they just had to go ahead and call it the Freedom Tower.

très ghey.

 

[kerouacdude]

well, building something that tall is kinda like a "fuck you" to all perceived enemies.

It is hereby declared the French Tower.

So does that mean it's offically named The French Tower?

PS. They should use some fancy holographic technology and have the Eye of Sauron up there. I mean really, who wouldn't shit their pants seeing that!

ahahahaha!

That being said, Freedom Towers is such a dumb name. What I want to loiter, or pee in the plants? Double park? I don't think so.

could be worse. Had they caught Osama this week too, it'd be fucking called the Emperor Bush tower.

The neat thing is that its going to have windmills at the top so that it generates its own power...

potentially 20% of it's power. pretty impressive if it does indeed do so.

WERD!!! As many of you may know, I'm all about wind power, baby!!!!

Is this thing gonna' be taller than the CN Tower? They say with the antannae on the top it'll go up to 2000 feet.

I think the design seems pretty cool, and supposedly it's gonna twist as it goes up. How cool is that?

The REAL purpose of the wind fans is to detach and fight attacking airliners in Gundam style battle!

I think it was a joke on them americans trying to change the name of french fries to freedom fries.

 

[Subsonic Chronic]

d'oh!

there goes my reading comprehension.

I read it to mean that this particular building designed was done by someone from Belgium (or one of the "Belsch" as I like to call them).
