…is the (bowdlerized) title of this badly-edited video, wherein some mouthy Brit shouts about crap architecture in an annoying whine, but whose script could have been written by me except I would have inserted more swear words.
And there’s a genuinely-terrifying moment at about 3:25 which will make you want to commit murders.
Right after that horror, there’s an annoying advertorial (hey, the guy has to pay the bills somehow), but you can fast-forward a couple-three minutes if you want.
Here’s another example of the kind of thing he’s talking about, and that I hate with a passion.
Never an errant hijacked airliner when you need one.
Forget it Jake, it’s Toronto.

years ago I heard that the set designers of a batman film got their ideas from failed architectural projects created by students. Looks like the bar has been tossed right out.
Far too many architects are simply bad artists who think that they know math.

I’d actually hate for that glass-and-steel monstrosity to come down so violently, as it might damage the charming bricks-and-mortar block in front of it. What is it called when an innocent is placed so as to shield an instance of evil from hostile fire? That.
Mark,
You’re absolutely right

This video is the first time you’ve ever heard of PJ?
That type of video editing is his style.
I lived one blocks north of there back in the 1980s and that area was always pretty skeevy, especially south of the intersection. Pinball arcades, tacky head shops and t-shirt emporiums, etc. That modern monstrosity was built after I left (mercifully). The Toronto Make Believes–er–Maple Leafs used to play in an arena just east of the intersections and on Saturday Nights Yonge St. was “the strip” for cruising.
Yeah, agree that SBUX sucks and should never be allowed to remodel a fine building for their hives of liberalism and shitty coffee. Oh! You mean the abortion built right above it? Yeah, that sucks too.
