This is the final portion of the Young and Dundas revitalization. A giant wall of blinking shrieking adverts to convince morons to shop a little bit more.
We should have seen this coming when they put those giant billboard garbage cans on our streets. All those pieces of shit really need is a pair of tentacle arms that grab and shake you, screaming “CONSUME, PUNY HUMAN, CONSUME!” It would be less painful than trying to figure out how to actually use one.
And soon, if Kyle Rae gets his way, those horrible things will have a giant overlord.
Just look at it. How it blocks out the sky. The tiny people scuttling around in front of it like so many ants. It’s almost as if that million dollar homepage jumped straight out of cyberspace and into real life. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Fuck this city.
And fuck you and your bright ideas too, Kyle Rae.

Sh*t! I haven’t been in Dundas square in ages and I’m trying to figure out where it would go. Cause it looks like a building with shops and a theatre too.
Looks monstrous. They’re trying to make TO like Niagara Falls?

Last night I had some problems with this and lost the comments. I can’t remember how exactly. I was fairly drunk. Apparently, before I went to sleep I was barking orders in a fake British accent and cooking hamburgers. But I’m reposting the comments. With a few changes:)

Hideous, completely hideous. Another reason to stay away from Dundas ‘shoot em up’ Square.
I love you Ryan! You’re the tops! And very handsome too!

Why thank you Geekigirl. Might I add that if they make SHoot em Up Square look like that the people there will be hoping to be shot.

Fugly!
I never understood that whole Dundas renovation. What a waste of space.
If TO was trying to copy Time Square, at least do a pre-Giuliani Time Square when it was a fun place to go
And might I add that agree totally with Geekigirl. You are very handsome!

And thank you Paul. You’re all making me blush.
Dundas Square is full of teenagers selling sub-standard dime bags of pot and shooting at each other. They are, unfortunatly, bad shots.

Sad really. Poor Grumpy can’t cut it in the wild anymore so he amuses himself by putting words in the mouths of others.
