Ugly buildings aside, I don't think I've ever seen someone massacre the English language as vigorously as this poster does in every post.

You wanna see ugly skyscrapers? Go to Wuhan. My God! Wuhan must be the ugliest city in the world. The buildings are tacky as f*ck and it looks like it has down syndrome. I can't begin to rant on how ugly Wuhan's skyline is. It is as hideous as Martin Van Buren.

This is the one that doesn't do it for me. It may or may not be U/C right now in Saigon HCMC. The developer calls it a lotus blossom. I call it a watering can.

I think it's a beautiful building, kind of "Buck Rogers" style tower. Better than another shoe box from the 60's and 70's with the AC unit on its roof.
