Golden Turd Hotel @TurdHotel

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

Golden Turd Hotel @TurdHotel

Oh dear!

An upscale hotel in Scotland is being mocked for resembling the poop emoji

A recently-unveiled hotel in Scotland in the shape of a coiled spiral has sparked unflattering comparisons with the poop emoji. Edinburgh’s bronze-colored Ribbon Hotel, which is nearing completion, is part of the upscale W chain, owned by Marriott International, according to The Guardian. It is part of an $800 million development in the Scottish capital that will include a mall, a movie theater and luxury apartments, the paper reported.

The architects behind the hotel, Jestico + Whiles, say on their website that it “has been designed as a bundle of ‘coiled ribbons,’ creating a free-flowing and bold building.”

A Twitter account named “@TurdHotel” has also appeared, with more than 2,300 followers.

I don't know what that staggeringly beautiful old clock tower is but that coiled turd is such an eyesore. Surely there are setback laws protecting ancient monuments.
