"Another American city bends over to pick up the soap for a gang of Eurotrash art theory hustlers. "

This is from the website of writer, James Kunstler, who is well known for his books about the stupidity of American civil planning. He's also a big proponent of the "peak oil" idea.

Each month Kunstler posts the "eyesore of the month"--some sort of structure that's outstanding either for its ugliness or lack of functionality, or both. I submitted something to him once for consideration as the Eyesore--a giant and forbidding black tower of a building that's going to get built in Philadelphia. He wrote back that while the building was certainly ugly, it wasn't a humdinger. Points to Kunstler for his use of the term "humdinger." Anyway, check out this month's eyesore, but don't neglect to go back through his archives. He's a witty writer and critic who isn't afraid to cry "bullshit" when it's needed.
