The red matches the roof and it has a maritime theme just for St. John's. It's actually a giant lobster. Ebirah from Godzilla.

genius. try to get the city hall for missing sausage in there for good measure. And Chad Kroeger to represent the West. Or Okotoks. There are a number of things to do in Okotoks.

Or instead of Chad Kroeger, use Peregrine Point or the Venetian. You can make it a Chad Kroeger gaija but build it around of those guys.

Had to look up Peregrine Point and found this awesome Connect2Edmonton thread about it. Worth a few laughs.

http://www.connect2edmonton.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=1792

Now you got me thinking about what building I could convincingly paste a Chad Kroeger head to. Not sure if the world can handle that level of ugly.

No, certainly not, I just couldn't remember in which thread you had posted the photo!

It's all there. Kroeger is to music what clockzilla is to architecture, and what Mississauga's city hall is to urban fabric. I love the inclusion of the kentucky bucket tower and harbour centre's pseudo-tower.

Do you like his extra constipated face as he vomits pink plasma into a sonic reverse Pepto-Bismol Ray?

I thought you'd like the KFC bucket. But if I'm throwing in all the uglies out west I had to include Vancouver's Frankenstein tower aswell. And Edmonton gets to represent with the Venetian ribcage and the neck of the bucket head.

Mississauga city hall in the foreground was a teaser. Not sure if I can pull off an actual monster with it but I can damn well have Clockzilla use its' sniper tower to stab Chadzilla in the heart.

Would Chad's constipated, raspy voice be strong enough to neutralize the baleful glare of Clockzilla?

That baleful glare renders whatever it touches into wastelands of parking lots, big box barf, and banal commie blocks (some perhaps touched up with some faux-mansard roofing scheme).

On the other hand, Chad's voice has been raping eardrums across the country for more than a decade.

I know what he would say if he saw your photoshop: "LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH!!"


I don't know what part of Mississauga's city Hall bothers me most. The barn? The penitentiary tower? The tuna can? The semi-finished clocktower? Yeah, that's it: that fugly clocktower with the exposed ribbing.

Not sure if this whole Earl's buying non Canadian beef thing has gotten attention anywhere else in the country but sadly it has been noticeably reducing patrons here. The whole thing is ridiculous but it reached a whole new level of ridiculous last week when an AB PC member accused them of supporting terrorists. That's right. We have now officially made the full transition into the Texas of Canada.

Although I love the distant clocktower in the background, the peacock should really be represented by a flying monster!

I've been trying to think of something to use for Rodan. Maybe this could be it.
