I like the flag as well. Makes me very proud of my adopted country! Who will I support in the Olympics UK or Canada? No contest - Canada!

You got that right! Time for us to develop some more of that ! ! !

I like it! Of course, I'm American by birth and we're naturally drawn to the large and ostentatious.

Awesome! Bellissimo!

The Canada Post wrap was unveiled erlier this week - UGLY!
It's part of a send postacrds home campaign with ..... CHEERIOS!
So the colours are Cheerios colours - looks absolutely awful.

ugly or not, do you know where there are some graphics of the building wrap for Canada Post? I just googled to try to find some but didn't have any luck.

Would love to see it, though I'll get an eyeful when it's done as it's highly visible from my place. Here's hoping it's not that hideous

Yuck! It looks like a lego building. Or just something really hideous.

Just when you think it would be impossible to make the Canada Post Building any uglier...

...it looks like a giant dog ate a whole Cheerios box and vomited all over the building.

johnjimbc · #**351** Posted **Oct 2, 2009, 10:05 PM**

Well, at least it makes me laugh. Obviously they were exempted from the must be scenic in design guideline

I have this sudden urge to try one of those scratch-and-win lottery tickets.

osirisboy · #**354** Posted **Oct 2, 2009, 10:54 PM**

wtf is that lol.. Didnt these building wraps have to get approved by the city or something?

Rusty Gull · #**355** Posted **Oct 3, 2009, 3:44 AM**

It's truly bizarre and troubling all at once.

Millennium2002 · #**356** Posted **Oct 3, 2009, 7:19 AM**

awww man.... >.< that is a very bad rendering... hopefully they can do something more sensible although it's probably too late >.<

mcminsen · #**357** Posted **Oct 3, 2009, 7:55 AM**

... any chance we could add this to the list of "things to take care of" when we get the Robson Square hedge trimming gang together?

flight_from_kamakura · #**358** Posted **Oct 3, 2009, 11:24 PM**

man, that cheerios wrap is one of the ugliest things i've ever seen. it would be more appealing if they'd just hire a giant to come and shit on the building.
