Architecture The Building of Hemorrhoids
Posted by Charles Mudede on Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 10:14 AM
What do the Chinese see in Koolhaas' CCTV building in Beijing? 
Apparently this:
The China Central Television headquarters is a 6.45 million square foot complex that involves twin leaning towers connected by two massive sections in midair. Designed by Rem Koolhaas, it's an amazing feat of engineering and architecture. But when CCTV proposed that they call it Zhichuang (meaning Knowledge Window), Chinese netizens saw its homophone, "Hemorrhoids."CCTV is now scrambling to find a different nickname to call the building, and have bandied about things like "Harmonious Gate," "New Angle" or "Future Window." Chinese netizens, always happy to help out, have offered their suggestions of "Big Underpants," "Wild Man," and "Slanting Stride."
The people have spoken.

How about "Big Lie"? Or "Big Censor Ship".
And how about "Big pile of doody from Central Committee"?

They should pipe all their waste/waste water to the part of the building where the ass would be and let is just spray out all over the grounds below.

This is the only thing Charles has ever posted that actually is as meaningful and multi-layered as he thought.
It's pretty amazing.
