So the other night David Muir on ABC News was talking about lightning striking the "Sears Tower". No mention of Willis whatsoever. Seriously, they should just rename it back to Sears immediately after Willis loses naming rights. Because who really calls it Willis anyway?

The whole renaming was so fucking stupid, nobody calls it Willis tower. Willis is such a dumbass name anyway it pisses me off.

And fuck that company, If I'm ever in the position where I might do business with them I'll be sure to avoid them.

I can think of no other building that so resolutely proclaims 'USA'.

They should rename it the Roebuck tower. That is what it should be called. No ifs, ands or buts.

Speaking of seeing this building in real life. My best memory of this building is when I first arrived in the states by plane. I live in a town where buildings are maximum 6 floors tall, so when I first saw Chicago with the Sears towering over everything else I was awe inspired.

Heck it was so unusualy tall for me that I was worried the plabe would crash into it.
