Empire State Building Seeks Best of the Brightest via Gizmodo
With the new lights, though, the Empire State would be able to feature “dynamic new patterns,†said James T. Connors, the general manager of the Empire State Building Company.
Just what NYC needs. A huge, gaudy, brightly colored display. When this sort of thing is confined to Times Square, it’s kind of cool. I still remember the first time I walked out of the subway into Times Square, and the overwhelming-ness of it all. To be fair, it was only a few years ago. But still.
And I’m not a New Yorker. I love to visit the city, but I don’t live there. But I can’t imagine that any New Yorker really wants a huge, animated American Flag waving over the city.
Maybe they’d be better off if they got their own Anti-Terrorist Pincers of Doom like we did. Rumor has it that over 30,000 terrorists have already been captured and impaled by the pincers. How many terrorists has the Empire State Building caught? That’s what I thought.
