Discuss this Rant at the Podcast Table inside the Diner

 

Snippet:

…Not a day goes by anymore where you can’t find something supremely stupid going on somewhere in the world. Today it was the newz that the Saudi Sheiks are breaking ground on the newest tallest building to be in the world, the Kingdom Tower.

About the only thing positive I can say about this monstrosity is that at least it doesn’t look like a giant PENIS like the Chinese have been erecting lately, this one looks more like a giant hypodermic needle….

I love brief answers that get to the point. Like this one in the New York Times in 1923;

NYT: “Why did you want to climb Mount Everest?”
George Mallory: “Because it’s there.”

Fast forward to 2014 …

NYT: “Why are you building a 1km skyscraper?”
Sandnigger: “We have oil. We have shitloads of excess money. Thank you, America.”
