Turkmenistan's President Saparmurat Niyazov has personally inaugurated a massive book-shaped building dedicated to the free media. The House of Free Creativity aims to create a comfortable environment for journalists, the government says. But a building devoted to press freedom is an irony in a country where journalism is state-controlled. Turkmenistan has no private or foreign media, and the internet is inaccessible for most people.

I'm with you NehemiahNesheim. I think the soon to be world's tallest is about the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Too tall and too thin. Looks like it is about to fall over.
