So the latest design for the Freedom Tower was revealed today. Frankly, I'm more excited about the Century 21 expansion as I doubt I'll ever have a reason to step inside the Freedom Phallus unless there's a really hot store inside.
While some people are all into the details of the design, I frankly couldn't care less as the design takes a backseat to that hideous name: The Freedom Tower. It harkens back to the days of "Freedom Fries" and reasonates of the whole "They hate us because we're free" fallacy. I think there are too many economic, political, and religious aspects to be wrapped up to fit into that sound-bite burrito.
And while it is easy to naysay probably any name generated from the committees involved, might I suggest one: 50 Church Street.
