Frank Gehry Unleashes Design


Gehry Menaces Onlookers with new creation....

Frank Gehry recently unveiled his design of the new World Cup of Hockey trophy at his home town of Toronto. Here's an excerpt from the Toronto Sun's cheeky coverage of the press conference.

When Gehry pulled the covering off the trophy, it was like someone had tugged the burlap bag off the Elephant Man.

This was a quintessential Canadian moment. Here was one of our own, brought back because he hit it big in the States, unveiling the worst idea anyone ever conceived, to a stupefied crowd.

We have learned one thing: In a pinch, an enterprising cop could use the World Cup of Hockey trophy as a stun gun.

No one, not one reporter, spoke what each and every one of us was feeling.

No one jumped up and said, "Judas Priest, Frank, what the hell is that?"
