Looks that only a mother could love.......

The tangled, red metal tower that has come to dominate the skyline around the Olympic site was finally unveiled today. Costing £22m it's definitely a Marmite job........

In case you were wondering, it's called the "ArcmellorMittal Orbit"

What a total waste of money.

What a complete pile of sh1te. DT_Xtremez_32:

Have to agree, looks awful. I'm sure it looked good on the drawing board but at 22M is a complete joke!

 

[firestorm]

It cost the taxpayer £3.1m

 

[FOMz]

£3.1m too much if you ask me.

I love the descriptions.
"It looks like the Eifel Tower after a nuclear explosion."

"Have 2 constrution cranes collided?"DT_Xtremez_31:

Exactly. A firm has been prosecuted for a crane crash in Liverpool and the picture looks like 1/2 of the monstrosity on display there.

Can’t help but think the whole thing is waste of tax payers’ cash! The games should be permanently based in Greece with each competing country paying a fee if they want to enter, cheaper all round and nothing taken away from the experience.

I laid one like that yesterday.

Would make a freaking great slide!

I thought it was some kind of new unfinished roller coaster.DT_Xtremez_42:

That's it! I've been wracking my brains about what it reminds me off and its a giant helter skelter!

Statement by Boris the kn0b...

Boris Johnson said: ‘Long after the Games are over, our aim is to have a stunning spectacle in east London that will be recognised around the world.’

No sh1t Sherlock !

Was the architect trying to out do the already unbelieveably w4nk Olympics logo? (That cost 400k!)

But what does it DO ?

At least the Post Office Tower did things with phone lines and it had a revolving Cafe thing.
