Super Classy

Observed, in Cork, from the bus:

A building site, where they are constructing an enormous block of apartments. They're clearly intended to be young, hip loft-y type dwellings, and to appeal to the young, hip Irish Tiger folks. So the wall that surrounds the site displays eight-foot-high photos with silly slogans, intended to convey the ultra-hipness of it all.

"Had She Discovered Ireland's Greatest Secret?" asks one with a pretty girl.

[Because a building larger than any other in town, with huge advertising posters on the outer wall, is a 'secret']

But here's what caught my eye. Someone spray painted under the girl's face: "Skyscrapers are gay."

Nice. Real nice.
