Terribly kitschy (i.e. flamboyantly ugly), while the others are merely functional. Neither is what one really wants, but I prefer something boringly utilitarian to something that screams out, "Look at what plastic, gaudy schlock I am!"
The audacity and poor taste, to imitate the Chrysler Building, badly and with the cheapest of materials, and in such a conspicuous spot right along the 401.
