This building will look very different

To be honest and after all the hype I was hoping for something a bit more 'in your face' than this frankly tame offering. Yes it is highlighting City and this is never a bad thing but it just has that feeling that it is meant to appeal to the less hard-bitten amongst us.
 
Can see why people aren't agreeing with me about it being OTT, and whilst I maintain that opinion I do admit, now i've seen it, that its an impressive bit of art. For me though it just smacks a bit of 'cooeee, look at meeeeeee'. Maybe when we've won something I would relax that view a little, but even then i'd still be cringeing the old arse cheeks a little bit.

its just marketing, or as fergiscum calls it us 'noisy neighbours' just makin a bit more noise....but for publicity purposes, it's doing exactly what it should be, getting ppl talking about city, the curiosity factor..."ooh i might go and see whats goin on down at eastlands...i like this, i'll buy a ticket.(ableit not that fast but you get my point?)
