I’m a simple man with simple tastes. Simple things stimulate my simple brain. I like fart jokes. Love a cold glass of water and the smell of a freshly cut lawn. A full tank of gas brings a full smile to my face. I still enjoy the occasional crying Jordan or clever 3-1 joke. So OF COURSE I’m going to laugh my ass off when a news anchor “accidentally” draws a large male penis during a live news broadcast. And OF COURSE I’m going to post a blog about it.

It’s been a weird week around the country so maybe, just maybe, Fox 8 did this on purpose to bring some levity to our lives. You can’t watch that video and think that that news anchor didn’t know exactly what he was doing. The precision and accuracy were just too on point.

So we’ll heal with laughter and if you can’t laugh at a giant dick drawing on your TV, then what can you laugh at?

CLEVELAND, Ohio, – A residential tower at the nuCLEus project in downtown Cleveland could stand 54 stories– or 647 feet– high, making it the city’s fourth tallest building.

The developers behind the skyline changing nuCLEus proposal filed their first crop of renderings with the city Thursday. The images show how Stark Enterprises of Cleveland and J-Dek Investments Ltd. of Solon hope to fit apartments, offices, stores, restaurants, hotel rooms, parking garages and — possibly — a few dozen condominiums onto a 3-acre site in the Gateway District.

J-Dek and Stark also confirmed that they’ve hired NBBJ as the lead architect on the project, which now carries an estimated price tag of $380 million to $400 million.Bialosky + Partners Architects, a local firm, will assist NBBJ designers from Columbus, New York and Shanghai.

Well holy shit. Is this Cleveland or is this the Capitol of Panem? I’m almost expecting President Snow to come buzzing out of a window in a hovercraft on the way to the ceremony to begin the 75th Hunger Games (aka the Third Quarter Quell for you n00bs out there)

Judging by the fine, eloquent, poignant commenters from the Cleveland.com article you’d think this was the worst piece of architecture ever drawn in the world:

Typical Cleveland attitude

But here’s my favorite:

Hey wakeupcle, you just got BURNED, bro!

It’s utopian as fuck and futuristic. I personally love it. This is only the first draft so there’ll be a lot more rendering and designs. I’m excited to see what the final design looks like.
