New Yorkers, how do you feel about the Kushner Corp.'s idea for a large erection on Fifth Avenue?

Appropriate address for the family of The Anti-Christ.

This would be really low on my list of give a fucks if I lived in NYC. I’m not a huge fan of post- WWII architecture—the steel and glass thing, the stacking of concrete cubes sterile of exterior design, the disproportion to the humans who use these monstrosities. All of this makes our cities less humane in spirit. Kushner owns 666 5th Aveneu and, under our present laws, doesn’t need the public’s approval for architectural design. He can build a huge penis there if he wants to.

This is what I say to people who care about shit like this:

Try concentrating on something that really needs a collective effort to solve, like your homeless problem, your at risk children, the huge drug problem, etc., etc., etc., and stop spending energy on these useless, social media-generated sideshows. Stop being a chickenshit by allowing yourself to be distracted by crap like this and concentrate on the shit that is about to eat you alive. Stop being a useless whiny, fucking dilettante.

^Harsh… @elbanditoroso seems to comment on a fairly diverse array of topics. This is something that is of note to him/her. Just because there are more important things going on, doesn’t mean that this subject is unworthy of discussion.

Have a heart @Espiritus_Corvus…

Just seems like another building to me. I doubt I would notice it amongst the others. But I don’t live in a large city, with lots of skyscrapers….

Agree. The idea that this thing is a middle finger is really stretching it.

It’s just another skyscraper, that with lots of imagination and just the right perspective you get “a middle finger”. It reminds me a bit of somebody who wanted to name their little girl a name nobody could tease her about. They talked and dreamed and finally came up with Amber. “That’s such a nice name and nobody will tease her about it,” they said.

So what did the kids call her when she started kindergarten? Amberger!

[insert a lame pun on a word “erection” here]
