Beau-bortion

Ok, what’s going on with this piece of crap? This has been left abandoned for months, some public art that may manage to be an eyesore during and after completion. Are they saving for wine for Alannah Mactiernan to open it? Yes it is terrible, but can it at least be finished? The fence hire alone must be costing a fortune. Or can we just add a few porta loos is and call it done? Buckels, wot fuck going on?

    What’s going on? It’s all a sham. Not a single orange witch’s hat in sight on site. It cannot be a Perth project. No detours. No closures. No Lollipop men. Bah humbug!

    Isn’t it a promotional sign for some poxy collection of developer dog boxes to be built on the site?

    If only we had a quality suburban newspaper with decent reporters that didn’t spend all their time hanging around public conveniences at well know Perth beaches we wouldn’t need to ask these questions.

    ‘Hollywood style lettering’: my opinion of this shite has skyrocketed. But what gives, TLA? This is bordering on activist.

    That concrete structure in the foreground looks like a Brutalist cock n balls. A little well placed graffiti would make it hilariously obvious.

    I was unaware that the Hollywood Sign cost more than the basic materials back in the day, or that the original color scheme was ketchup and mustard.

    On the plus side, I’m guessing no suicides.

    Yet.
