‘Freedom Tower’?

I’m sorry but I don’t think I could say that without rolling my eyes. Smacks of pure cheese.

  Gouda or not, that is its name.

  No worse than the Shart in London.

    As someone who used to commute through London Bridge I have a somewhat frictious relationship with the shard.
    
    That said its name doesn’t make me do a little sick in my mouth.

Too bad about the VVS.

  There are some freedoms that most citizens just can’t handle responsibly. I submit that the ability to record vertical video is one of these.

Fun to watch (unless you have vertigo) but it’s KRUMPING, not breakdancing. For what it’s worth — the name is pretty lame.

  That is so not krumping. Not breakdancing either, but whatevs — the guys got some nice moves.

  Popping and waving. Not breakdancing.

    Nother voice in the chorus for pop & lock/waving. Not remotely krump or breakdance, though when he started I was hoping he was an animator. Still good old skool moves.

Actually, that WAS its name. It’s official name is now One World Trade Center. Go ahead, look it up.

  Yay! Here’s hoping that “Freedom Tower” never catches on. Smells too much like Bush.

    When we get a new commenter whose user name has freedom, truth or similar words in it, I cringe.

  So I guess there must be codes for taking video in vertical mode in the construction field.

Admit it – we all wanted to see him moonwalk right off the edge.

  I was halfway expecting the camera to be dropped.

Pretty fly for a white guy.
