- kplo, on 04/01/2009, -5/+266What you talkin' 'bout? Willis?
- burstaneurysm, on 03/12/2009, -0/+148It'll always be the Sears Tower to me and 99.99% of Chicagoans.
- Wolfanoz, on 03/12/2009, -4/+121Why not just Nakatomi Plaza?
- Trekhawk, on 03/12/2009, -3/+96Why not name it 404 Tower or Page Not Found Tower?
- tiology, on 03/12/2009, -0/+76http://www.suntimes.com/business/1473681,sears-tow ...
(submitted link was broken when I tried to open article) - shutaro, on 03/12/2009, -1/+75At last Wesley Willis is getting the recognition he so richly deserves.
- doublsh0t, on 03/12/2009, -1/+67oh haillllll no
- Gorzki, on 03/12/2009, -0/+51I still call US Cellular Field, "Comisky Park", and I sure as hell will never call the Sears Tower anything else!
- lucciinthesky, on 03/12/2009, -0/+49this is what I clicked "read comments" for
- bulentm, on 03/12/2009, -3/+52These guys just made an enemy with Chicagoans and the internets. Not so smart with branding are you, Brits?
- Quick2822, on 03/12/2009, -0/+36Change the name to whatever you want, we're still going to call it Sears Tower.
- replaysMike, on 03/12/2009, -3/+39Bruce, you've finally made it!
- sockpuppets, on 03/12/2009, -0/+34In addition to being renamed the tower will also be reduced to a height of one meter.
- LoveWidescreen, on 03/12/2009, -1/+32"Having our name associated with Chicago's most iconic structure underscores our commitment to this great city, and recognizes Chicago's importance as a major financial hub and international business center," said Joseph Plumeri, chairman of Willis Group Holdings.
Sounds more to me like it's a MAJOR ego trip. There is nothing derogatory about letting it continue to be known as the Sears Tower. Why can't they just leave the name of the damned building alone? - inactive, on 03/12/2009, -4/+34they should have named it the McClane tower.
- PopcornDave, on 03/12/2009, -1/+27Faulty tower page?
- jonesyno, on 03/12/2009, -0/+24Rock over London. . . Rock on Chicago.
Wheaties. . . breakfast of champions. - spyd3rweb, on 03/12/2009, -2/+25Do what Minnesotans do and just refuse to call the MOA theme park anything but Camp Snoopy.
- ByrcheWroot, on 03/12/2009, -0/+22And to virtually everyone else. I got to go up in the sixth grade. The swaying was a trip.
- Inflammo, on 03/12/2009, -2/+23The Walter Bruce Willis tower?!
What now, Hans Gruber. - paraforce, on 03/12/2009, -1/+21This is ***** stupid.
- tEhKewleSt, on 03/12/2009, -0/+19Now I've got a machine gun, ho ho ho.
- doctressjulia, on 03/12/2009, -2/+21Yeah, really. Good luck getting any Chicagoans to ever call it that... Hahahaha. Corporate *****.
- AndrewMoyer, on 03/12/2009, -13/+31BREAKING: Unimportant news.
- MRintheKeys, on 03/12/2009, -0/+18Go ***** yourself , Hans.
- CasualNinja, on 03/12/2009, -0/+17Long live Chicago and the Sears Tower. Hell, I still say Rosemont Horizon!
- OSUTodd23, on 03/12/2009, -1/+17That's why he put Breaking in the subject title. Duh.
- robbob, on 03/12/2009, -7/+23buried for "Breaking"
- DirtyVicar, on 03/12/2009, -0/+16I move that we all digg down the inevitable 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc repeats of the "What you talkin about Willis" jokes further down this page.
- danno147, on 03/12/2009, -0/+15Suck a cheetah's dick!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnCk0uGwFZI - jarjarwang, on 03/12/2009, -0/+15He headbutted me so hard one night at a show that I couldn't get out of bed the next morning.
- amheidt, on 03/12/2009, -1/+16This is ridiculous. My bets are that due to protest, they'll never actually change the name. The Willis group will get publicity either way, unfortunately for them it will probably be bad publicity.
- doctressjulia, on 03/12/2009, -1/+16Your friend's dad is a corporate *****. LOL
- MichaelCorleone, on 03/12/2009, -0/+14Yippie Ki Yay, *****
- nochilinopity, on 03/12/2009, -1/+13And while we're at, Macy's can burn in hell. I miss Marshall Field's.
- inactive, on 03/12/2009, -0/+12Most definitely. Not just anyone can whoop Batman's ass.
- anexanhume, on 03/12/2009, -0/+11The twinkies are for his wife, alright?!
- silverspyder, on 03/12/2009, -3/+14I don't think it will stick... the name not the paint.
- gramathy, on 03/12/2009, -0/+11WIN.
Except you spelled it wrong. It's Fawlty Tower - MeatMountain, on 03/12/2009, -0/+10I got the reference! Its from the classic hit show "Comment #2 from this thread!"
- mriegger, on 03/12/2009, -0/+10Thank you Mister Cowboy, I'll take it under advisement
- inactive, on 03/12/2009, -2/+12RE
TARD
ED - rdldr1, on 03/12/2009, -0/+10They threw him out of church.
RIP - xero9, on 03/12/2009, -0/+9I'm not even from Chicago let alone been there and I will continue to call it the Sears Tower
- hatdrop, on 03/12/2009, -0/+9from the article "But what of any potential backlash, or the inability of Chicagoans to call the building anything but Sears Tower? "Old habits DIE HARD but we feel that ultimately people will come to embrace the Willis name," Thoretz said."
- ftc08, on 03/12/2009, -0/+8It is Camp ***** Snoopy. For now, and for ***** ever.
***** Nickelodeon. - EricAnderton, on 03/12/2009, -0/+8FTA: "It was part of our negotiations"
You hear that? Talk to me, where are my detonators? - DaNuKaSAN, on 03/12/2009, -2/+10Willis has to be overcompensating for something...
- vespaguy, on 03/12/2009, -0/+8When they were building the SpongeBob roller-coaster, I may have thrown a stuffed Snoopy toy in the foundation...
- TheManikin, on 03/12/2009, -0/+7***** Dora, we want Snoopy back.
