BAH!
People need to get over themselves about just what "UGLY" means.

The problem with 50% of this bloody thread is that it all comes down a persons perspective half the time. Most of this isn't truly "UGLY" but just things people personally dislike!

The McMansion is a good example.

Low Quality? Yes
Over bearing and self indulgent? Yes
Horrifically Tacky? Good FSM YES
But "UGLY" ?

Not really...

And ye gods man, the Millennium Dome is NOT Ugly.

It IS a piece of Modern over bearing tripe. Yes it is not well liked, and perhaps the worlds largest White Elephant in terms of failed buildings.

BUT it is not ugly it is Geh,, "Elegant"

You must be joking. Seriously.

100% of this thread is subjective, including your opinions.
