Thank you very much!. It is a bit gaudy, isn't it?

Trinity Broadcasting... my fucking favorite. I drove by their gawd-AWFUL gaudy-ass "palace" in Costa Mesa, CA before I knew what it was, and I wondered why it COVERED in Christmas lights all year 'round. All they money they'd save in electricity costs if they took off all the stupid lights could probably feed a million starving children. Please, for the love of all that is good, would people please stop supporting goddamn televangelists???

A negative review of the new lights, when they were being tested - this is the text from the "second story" in the summary.


If you like Honda Civics modded with blue neon, enormous spoilers and V-Tech stickers, you're gonna love what's happening to Toronto's most iconic structure.

Management of Canada's National Tower (formerly the Canadian National Tower) have begun testing the unfortunate new animated LEDs that were recently installed, dramatically transforming a brilliant exercise in modernist subtlety into a cheap, plastic martini spear. The "intelligent LED" colour effects will permanently go live after a launch event at sunset on June 28.

Environmentally, the new lighting system uses 10% less energy than conventional illumination (and 60% less than the previous dimly-lit setup, which was dismantled in 1996). The 1,330 LED panels are each about the size of a shoebox and the system is designed by Color Kinetics of Boston. The panels are located up the central shaft windows, at the base of each tier of the upper mast, and around the "bubble" beneath the Sky Pod.

The lighting effects are microprocessor controlled and can be animated in psychedelic patterns and in virtually any combination of colours. Last night's gaudy, rapidly-changing colours alarmed many Torontonians, though CN Tower management claims the lighting will be more subtle and won't be shifting as rapidly as it has been during testing.

We'll see about that. We think that whatever happens in Vegas should stay in Vegas.


Since installation I've found them to look really cool, giving new 'visual life' to the venerable tower.

No man... Gaudi's the shit ... if I were gonna pay money to have my pad designed to imitate any architect, it would be Gaudi.

Gaudi´ has an ironic name.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder I've always loved Lambo's but always thought they lacked a little "completeness" and relied too much on gaudy appearances.

This street performer plays assorted drinking glasses with his fingers. Tonality, pacing . . . beautiful. The bells of Gaudi's unfinished cathedral,Sagrada Familia, play in the background.

This is truly exquisite.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I kind of feel like he and Picaso both really sold-out toward the end. I think they were determined not to be arists that made their fortunes after they were dead.

I went to the Dali museum near Girona last year, and a lot of the space seemed to be taken up with his "signature" collection items - things that were at least at one time for sale as curios. A lot of it was kind of cheap and gaudy, (not Gaudi. (heh just a little pretentious art joke)).

From the musical "Hair":

I would just like to say that it is my conviction
That longer hair and other flamboyant affectations
Of appearance are nothing more
Than the male's emergence from his drab camoflage
Into the gaudy plumage
Which is the birthright of his sex

There is a peculiar notion that elegant plumage
And fine feathers are not proper for the male
When ac---tually
That is the way things are
In most species
