Compare the Orbit & Eiffel towers...

So we all know the iconic Eiffel Tower which has come to symbolize the city of Paris;

Now London is building it's own landmark, the Orbit Tower, for the Olympics;

hmmm

If ...as many people say...the Eiffel Tower represents an erect phallus...what the hell does the Orbit represent?

Maybe the Eiffel was a simplified product of its time, and the Orbit represents the confusion and short attention-span of modern times?

...or whereas the Eiffel Tower means "erection" the Orbit Tower means "kinky multiple-partner toy-assisted f*cking" ?

Great... so apparently London has figured out how to define "fuckin' ugly" for the Olympics... confused

First it was that asshat of a logo...

and now it's this architectural fuckery of a whatever-the-fuck-that-is!!!

The orbit tower is ugly as hell.

Seriously, it looks like the architect was trying to interpret what it might look like if the Iron Giant shit his large intestine out his asshole.

If they could just change the color, it would still be hideous, but at least not resemble exploded innards.

It looks like the Orbit Tower is suppose to represent the flame of the Olympic Torch, but really, it just needs to be torched because it is a monstrosity.

The Orbit is the definition of fugly. The orbit is a cross between the space needle and the eiffel tower.

In all fairness...when the Eiffel Tower was built, it too was considered "ugly".

GB tends to finish low in the overall medal counts anyway, no?

Usually the home country gains an edge...we'll see what happens.

I know people did not like the Eiffel tower when it was first built, but that thing in London looks like something Homer Simpson tried to build

The Orbit Tower looks like when someone reaches in to someone's body and takes their heart out, in horror movies. Does that make sense?
