I can't believe that none of the architects surveyed for Gridskipper's list of the ugliest buildings in New York [via kottke] included this hideous pair from W 42nd Street.
I mean, really, these are the ugliest buildings ever. And I know I'm probably almost alone here, but I sorta like the Hearst Building. Once the base gets its NYC grime back it'll look totally legit.

"Kenspeckle" is an amazingly cool Scottish word meaning conspicuous.
