I was walking around at RPI today in Troy, NY, and came across this EMPAC (Experimental Media and Arts Center) thing.
So what is this all about, this high tech futuristic stuff? It reminds me of that juvenile imagination of the glorious future we used to watch as kids on saturday mornings called the Jetsons. and then i looked harder, and something actually looked familiar. could it be? I had to check:
Yes, it's her! Jane Jetson! Million dollar serious performing arts center and it's modelled after a cartoon's hairdoo. Hopefully I will write a more detailed deconstruction of this hideous piece of architecture shortly.Also, I'm taking up a collection to raise money to ship it off to the moon.
Ok, i realize that's an artist's conception, so i found this photo (see below):

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!
Damn that is some funny dinges!
It's not very attractive from what I can tell but I'd have to see it for myself to decide. I really can't tell from the photo.
you just have to rub it in, don't you whadaya mean: we used to watch as kids on saturday mornings
some of us were outside playing in the fresh air!
if you stand further back from it there are puffy things on top that make it even more a spittin' image of Jane!
