I live in here. Its come up a few times in here before in google earth threads.

Someone had some fun.......incredible no one caught it.

It's impossible that the designer didn't know what he was doing.

[Spikes]

I guess it is not impossible...I doubt it was on accident though...

So, now they modify it. Only after it became apparent on google and some neurotic people decided to complain about it.

Come on.. it's not THAT horrible thing. It's a building! It resembles a swastika!

How could these people shocked by such a thing ever go to India? They'd get a heart seizure just from the number of swastikas around there. They'd probably wonder where's the concentration camps and why nobody has brought it to their attention that swastikas are widely used in India - Where are swastikas, there must be nazis!

Geez.... people should get over it, it's a symbol that's been in use for longer than the USA has existed and one man can't have caused that much bad with a symbol. You don't kill with a symbol, nor can you rid a symbol that's used by millions of people in their belief.

If they're really so worried of evil dictators, perhaps they should look no further than the white house. Bush Jr. has done more evil than the symbol ever. It's the man, not the symbol.

i hate PC people

EDIT: Because their are tools that have driven past this building their entire lives and someone on the internet says it resembles a swatika and they are all of a sudden offended by the building they drove by their entire lives, i hate em!

[Irwink!]

Spending $600,000 to disguise it is ridiculous. Not 6 feet from where I'm sitting is a book published in the 1920's entitled "The Ancient World". On the spine under the title is a very prominent swastika. The book was printed in the U.S. and has nothing to do with Nazis or Germany. The swastika is an ancient symbol that's been in use for many centuries - long before national socialism was even thought of.

i coulda cared less if they left it, its a friggen building....

[BlueJ1]

My point of view is that instead of spending that $600,000 on our men and women on Iraq and Afganistan getting some much needed new equipment its going toward solar panels and sidewalks so the building is PC for the civilians.

Also saw recently that Dept. of the Navy is remodeling that building to shift the shape from its current.

[Meatwad]

Its a building, why does anyone want to cry about how it looks.

Its fine the way it is

[Shuckins]

The phrase isn't "on accident" it's "by accident."

sheesh

Omigosh, I better hire some aerial photography of my house just in case something on my little not-quite-quarter-acre is offending anyone invading my privacy from the skies I don't own.
