Am I completely alone in thinking that this is really ugly?

AW: Also is a tower that ‘looks as if it’s going to fall over’ according to Kapoor, really the best symbol for London’s Olympic Games? Maybe another quote by the artist will explain why the monument is particularly appropriate:
“a folly that aspires to go even above the clouds and has something mythic about it.”
AW: Still, I like the idea of a new fuck-off big monument in London, especially one that you can go up with a restaurant at the top, so maybe it’ll grow on me.
