World's Ugliest?

Toronto's Royal Ontario Museum (The ROM) has really taken a beating lately in the international press.

The Washington Post declared it the "worst Building of the decade".

"Sure, there were a lot of Wal-Marts thrown up in the Aughts, but Daniel Libeskind's addition to the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto surpasses the ugliness of bland functional buildings by being both ugly and useless."

But it doesn't stop there.

In November, travel website virtualtourist.com named the crystal one of the world's 10 ugliest buildings. And there are some ugly buildings out there.

And I get to look at this beauty everytime I head west of mia casa.

Oh well, it only cost 270 million dollars......
