  • So true......

  • Yes. Richard, 'The Cloud Project'.

  • 1. With your face scared, wild eyes, manic rocking and speed talking you come across as a crack head?

    2. The Young Turks are called this because the guy was born in Turkey, it's called word play.

    3. These building obviously looks like the twin towers during the attack. I'm English and I saw this immediately.

    4. The accent is just plain racist. I'm married to an Asian women and if you pulled that shit in front of me I'd drop you like the racist sack of shit you are.

    Grow up you racist cunt.

  • The thing I don't understand Americans, instead of thinking *What did we do yo fuck these middle eastern muslims off?* they think along the lines of *WAR FOR OIL!! YEEEHAW!*

  • unsubbed

  • The problem with this is that we (Americans) forget that the rest of the world is not seeing everything from our perspective. We may see image that reminds of 9-11, however a viewer who is not American and for which 9-11 does not hold the same significance, will not see the same symbolism.

  • when i woke up this morning and made breakfast i looked at the toast and saw 9/11 but i thought for a second and realized it was just 11\6. it was fucking terrifying

  • Haha. Actually, it is quite reminiscent of the twin towers collapse, but I can't imagine that was intentional. Still, I can totally imagine the firm of architects having an "OH BORROCKS!" moment when it was pointed out to them.

  • Agree 100% with this.

  • Huge fan of TYT but I agree with this one. Nice video friend.

  • If you can't see that this is an antiAmerican then you are being deliberately obtuse. Also Tolkien was taunting America because Tolkien knew what was coming. The Lord of the Rings was a prediction of the atrocities to come.

  • I agree Richard, nice video. I'm glad there are still people that use their brain.

  • i love your american accent

  • nine ereven

  • Pause at 9:11

  • BTW, didn't they do something exactly with "the two towers" theatrical release because of this? I can't remember the exact news - but the movie was released in the following year after the attack, and I'm not sure but I think they did something like delay the theatrical release a little while from the original schedule or something (don't take this as completely accurate info) - and I totally agree that oversensitive stuff like that is silly.

  • Just want to add in here (if it hasn't been corrected already) that his name is pronounced something like "jenk", not like you would think it sounds like from the letters.

    About the buildings - I think I read somewhere that the vision for these buildings were skyscrapers rising through clouds. With that in mind - I think that is exactly what it looks like. I think its perfectly accidental and people just free-associate it with 9/11 too easily. I don't see the koreans motivations otherwise...

  • I think more about the Rwandan Genocide than I do 9/11.

  • FUCK 9/11

    I'm all about remembering Pearl Harbor!!!

  • 2:04 - cake

  • @dando139 Cenk

  • I agree, but when I saw that I totally thought 911.

    Then again I was probably primed by them saying 911 look alike instead of cloud project.

    Journalists should be careful of what they say.

  • It looks like the twin towers, but it also looks really fucking cool. Inspiration can come from many places. It might be the muse behind the architecture or it might not. But one thing I doubt is the presence of malacious intent.

  • ban the pause button, it looks like the twin towers

  • ban the number 11. LOLOL

  • It's just American arrogance thinking that the rest of the world cares that much. 30000 children under 5 die in Africa per DAY, where the fuck is that tragedy getting reported? 3000 white people with jobs die and it's the end of the world as we know it. BTW If I wanted to offend America I'd build a building in the shape of all the civilian casualties in the "War on terror" so far and top it all off with a nice upside down American flag.

  • It does look just like 911 from the first pic -ONLY! If you just go by that one Cenk is dead right.

  • Sometimes the Turks are a bit too left even for my tastes. Also they need to brush up on their most fundamental fact checking skills. They once referred to the state of Queensland here in Australia as the city of Queensland.

  • Nice choice with black and white, it makes you slightly less ugly.

  • Dude, you may want to take a chill pill here - you sound downright hysterical.

  • Tragedy in any nation is sad. When 9/11 happened, there were Koreans killed that day. South Korea was one of the very first to have a massive prayer event for the lives lost. South Korea also ran donation events to help those that are in need. While it's unfortunate if the buildings reminded some people of the sad event, it obviously wasn't done on purpose. It's absurd to think that both Dutch designers and S.Korean builders even thought about doing this on purpose to upset people.

  • Holy Shit you got fat!

  • that building doesn't look the twin towers under attack. it looks JUST like it. hilariously so. genuinely laughed out loud when that flashed up. i was thinking, "yeah whatever, a new building that looks like the 9-11 attack. please. how is that even possible?". but it does. obviously it's just a coincidence and there is no need for anyone to get their knickers in a bunch over it. the designs look fantastic.

  • I'm a Young Turk's fan, but you're right about this one.

  • Typical Coughlan, attack people with more views than you to generate views for yourself.

    Camera Whore.

  • The chic Ana is kinda hot, but she has absolutely no understanding as to what Logic is!

  • Pause it at 1:40 and show it to everyone you know. Write back with the first thing that came to their mind.

  • @krammit25 Here's my reaction and those of my friends:

    That's a cool building!

    It's a cloud!

    Sorry, but that was the reaction when we first saw it.

    9/11 was traumatic for Americans (and rightfully so) not for the rest of the world. Shocking?

    Absolutely.

    Traumatic?

    No.

    Sorry, but that's the way it is.

  • Comment removed

  • The Young Turks are old news !!!

  • Ban the pause button! It has 2 bars that look like the twin towers! (sarcasm).

  • this was a story picked up by a lot of US outlets and if you watched the whole show thay did say that thay did not think it was delibrate thay did say thay thaught it was in bad tast (wrongly in my opinion).

    and it was a dutch firm that worked up its plans ...so he should have used a dutch accent

  • the young turks are annoying

  • You've been watching them since they came on youtube and you still can't even pronounce his name.lol

  • The Turks are totally right- you have to be a retard or jacked up on heroin to not think so....oh. How is that heroin addiction treating you Cough?? Looks like you smarted off to someone that popped you in the mouth. That or your birthmark is totally taking over your face. Maybe you should learn to keep your mouth shut around bigger men- you know, men over 5'5" 110lbs. You might get smacked around a little less. Seriously how fucking stupid CAN you get?

  • are you on coke bro!!!

  • I would just like to personally state that you'd have to be a blithering blind idiot to not see how those buildings don't resemble the Twin Towers exploding. Yes it may not have been intentional, and yes America is probably overreacting a bit, but the rage is not entirely unfounded. Perhaps you ought to get your eyes checked before you start talking about how it doesn't resemble two buildings exploding, hmm?

  • Americans think the world revolves around them.

  • @Narajah Besides the fact that it DOES...whats that got to do with this? Sorry your country is a piece of shit that noone knows or cares about- big deal. This isnt about you and your lack of internal plumbing. This about a fucked up building. You dont like America then go get your own fart of a country on track. Not our fault we accomplished more in 200 years than your whole fucking continent did in 2,000.

  • u are right

  • Love the sign off.

  • The uproar over this reminds me of the paranoid Christians that think the world is out to get them and that they are under attack. The world isn't out to piss off Americans, despite what some seem to think, the rest of the world has its own problems, and I highly doubt that the rest of the world has nothing better to do than poke fun at America.

    Besides, the intent behind the design is irrelevant. There is no right to not be offended.

  • @MsKoko144 are you retarded or trying to be funny? The Young Turks are not Turkish. One of them is of Turkish descent the rest are American. The term "Young Turk" doesnt mean somebody is turkish.

  • @Coughlan616 ""The term "Young Turk" doesnt mean somebody is turkish."" ?

    well ... yes actually ... it does.

    Try to watch "The young Europeans" or ... "The young americans"

    then only you will have my respect ;)

  • @MsKoko144 Uh...no it doesnt. How do idiot like you walk around and do things without hurting yourself? Its obvious that your brain is not fully functional. The Young Europeans sounds like a gay makeover show and The Young Americans sounds like some tribute to the 1950's. Either way The Young Turks is another way of saying the Young Rebels...oui ve.

  • @Coughlan616

    Isn't the female host an Armenian?

  • @Coughlan616 I like turkey! :D

  • @MsKoko144 wikipedia:/wiki/Young_Turks read up :)

  • I agree with you 100%. 9/11 was such a small attack in the big picture. All around the world more horrible things have happened and are continuing to happen. To the rest of the world 9/11 means little. I am American and lived in New York State for half my life and when I saw pictures of this building I did not think that it resembled the World Trade Center buildings at all. I thought that it looked like building in the clouds. I do enjoy TYT but I do not agree with everything they say.

  • @Chaoitcme Yhen yer fucking retarded - or like Cough, on heroin.

  • Cenk did not insinuate that the architects designed it to look like 9/11 on purpose. I agree that the design does absolutely resemble the WTC attack.

  • I am afraid a rant on this topic is completely unnecessary. Just say what is on your mind without coming across as unhinged.

  • Great Dutch accent there Richard.

    They have a point though,, if all the buildings were like that then terrorists wouldn't know what to fly into.. they would be like, someone already did this city, lets find another one.. we got a plane now after all.

    They might even end up flying home just because they knew where some good buildings were.

    The other thing we could do is paint buildings to look like they have been burned down & are derelict. cheaper than making them look blown up in a recession.

  • Cenk is pronounced Jenk.

  • Well said.

  • well fuckin said bro

  • He rocks back and forth like an autistic.

  • I thoughts exactly mate...

    Good job

    I never imagined TYT would have exactly same reaction as the FOX...

    Really disappointing...

  • Comment removed

  • The building is in South Korea therefore America can fuck right off and keep their policing to their own fucking country and fuck The Young Turk's, bloody waste of humanity

  • Like the Young Turks, I'd call myself a fan but you're right on on this one.

  • Coughlan is absolutely right on this one, fuck the Young Turks. Cenk is being stupid and so is that stupid bitch sitting next to him

  • Yeah, TYT need to grow up and YOU need to fuck right off.

    Even if you don't agree with them on this one FAR LESS than important thing they are certainly entitled to their opinions which they are very reasonable and fair about explaining. And for all of you who say "other countries wouldn't care about 9/11" uh, YES THEY WOULD b/c when we got attacked we started TWO FUCKING WARS that pulled OTHER countries in. And the war started because of Jihad, radical muslims, a GLOBAL problem, JUST ASK EUROPE

  • Never forget nine ereven.

  • @pburto genius

  • I agree 100% i saw this episode when it was releaed and it is the only tyt video i thought they where dumb and cant see past the borders , they turned them self into the same old person from the usa , thinking the world revoles around them.

  • I'm a member of the TYT Army and I'm subscribed to them, watch the new show on tv BUT...

    I'm not a sheep who will follow them with whatever they say just because they say it. I might as well be watching Fox "News" then.

    No, I WTF'd at them quite hard. The explosion didn't even look like that really. The logic behind it never made sense and South Korea doesn't even give a shit about us anyway.

    People here need to sit down, shut up, and think before they speak. geez...

  • Jews - Holocost. (Millions dead.)

    Blacks - Slavery. (Millions of lives ruined.)

    Un developted counries - Poverty. (Millions dying.)

    Ect...

    USA - 9/11. (3,000 dead.)

    Think about it, aproximately 17,000 people die each day and one day there were 20,000. I know I'm gonna get a lot of hate for saying this, but it only seems so bad because it happened in such a rich country. If it happened in say for example Kenya then I'm gonna bet no one would honestly give a damm.

  • If they want to erect buildings that look like that, fine. Their country, their prerogative. Denying that it looks like the Twin Towers after impact is just stupid, however, because... it does. If you want to use these facts as an excuse to rant against touchy, stupid Americans, so be it. That's certainly original and refreshing.

  • you rage too much.... but damn do i agree with you

  • Those buildings look badass <3

  • fuck im so sick of 9/11

  • Please don't ever ever attempt a Korean accent again.

    You're right, but that's a lot of passion expended over an irrelevant and silly misjudgement.

    As an aside, those buildings are (?that building is?) really neat.

  • 11 lookes like twin towers. What will '9/11' be called then?

  • Well it was the Dutch not the Korean. You can't trust anything them nutter artists like to make statements. But, seriously out of all the possible designs it is a little coincidental. Fine have cubism with like a geometric bridge or something but to have it look like a bush like twin towers come on. If they still want round with cubes they could done a spiral up it or anything. There are so many options so it most likely they meant to do it.

  • Dude, you are seriously scary

  • Its just a fucking building..... People get mad over the SHAPE of a building? get fucking real!

  • I love TYT, proud member of the TYT army however this video is dead on.

  • It does look like the towers, jus sayin' nigga.

  • @Apsu88 shes Armenian.

  • What happened to your face stupid?

  • Pretty long hair soup face Dick

  • Comment removed

  • This is funny. I like that they are making that building and I believe we should laugh at this terrorist event and stop being fags about it. How does that really effect us today? That should of been called a.....Dirty trick

    In magic, "dirty" means that you have just performed a trick and you're left with a method or secret that can potentially be discovered by spectators. For example, you may have "vanished" an object, but the object still resides in your hand or in a prop. Look at the new laws.

  • @Apsu88 @OrthodoxDarwinist lol why the fuck are you two retards the top comments

  • @Apsu88

    Lol. I do have a strange taste in pussy.

  • @Apsu88

    I speculate that you yourself as well would not mind sniffing Ana Kasparian's panties and maybe slipping a cheeky finger in.

    For some reason I always imagine they're white, but I'm SURE that she's a bit more kinky than that, but I just can't get *white panties* out of my head.

    She would look fantastic naked.

    Thoughts?

  • @chicKev

    I'm a fan of TYT aswell but only because I like imagining what color panties that girl has, and whether she's shaved or not.

    From video: "Not everyone has this fetish about 9-11."

    Reminds me of Alex Jones. In every single video he brings up Hitler. The subject can be like GMO food, and he will still start ranting about Hitler... utterly bizarre.

  • Completely fucking agree with you about 9/11. Yeah it was horrible, but you know how many 9/11's worth of death have happened since then?

  • You need to get that thing checked

    :/

  • I agree with you, but your criticism should not be directed at TYT, it should be directed at Americans in general. It's been 10 years, they have to (slowly I recognize) stop being such drama queens about anything relating to 9/11.

  • OH MY GOD! THE LETTER H!

  • Ok, hello there, I suspect that it intentionally was meant to resemble the twin towers blowing up, but I don't think they sat down and planned it. It's just a fucking building. I'm not offended by it. We shouldn't be offended by a goddamned building. So what? The design is pretty cool too, and clever. It's a new efficient way of architecture that is useful. Anyone who is offended by this, well, you need to see things with wider eyes.

  • "kenk"...

  • I would want to know if this design ever came up before 9/11. If it did then that should be brought out. If not then who it was that came up with it and how did they come up with it. That to me is the real issue.

  • Holy crap... this guy might want to look into medical marijuana.

  • You guys are crazy, If someone made a memorial statue to honor fallen soldiers but it looked exactly like adolf hitler, wouldnt you tell them and complain?

  • America is suffering PTSD.

  • Coughlan, no one said anything about banning anything

  • Calm down, NOBODY said it was deliberate. Cenk even agrees, in the clip u urself posted, that he gets what they where trying to do. It just looks, from that one photo, a lot like the 11-9 world trade center attack. That being said I personally think the building looks fucking awesome and Americans should STFU about it.

  • Nobody ever said that the architects and contractors came up with a scheme to make the buildings look like World Trade Centre 1 and 2, however the design does look awfully similar and the architects should review their design.

  • watch usa blow it up and blame it on cave dwellers

  • whoa bring it down lol

  • Let the South Koreans build it. To be honest it looks good. Shout out to Young Turks.

  • I think it's coincidence. Coincidences like this happen to people all the time. In games where you build shit you end up making shit that looks like all kinds other shit accidentally. Not to mention if you were going to be accurate to 9/11 the "explosions" are not placed anywhere near the same.

  • @CFrostyTheSnowman

    I don't think so, but it's more like a silent mock of the U.S only heard by smart people - which doesn't include most of America. They can just keep denying it, and we can't do anything. But seriously, I'm not offended by this... Why would I be. It's not personal. And for fuck's sake, 9/11 nothing in comparison to the rest of the world. It's old, and it's not that bad of a tragedy comparing to what we do to the rest of the world.

  • It does look like 9-11, but Coughlan makes an excellent point about how our brains are conditioned to find relevance in coincidence and indifference LOL

  • Accident or not, you have to admit it DOES look a lot like the twin towers.

  • Finally someone who told those dumbass the truth. Nobody cares about your fucking america, it's Korea's business so get the fuck out.

  • Thank you sir. Sounds about like the rant I had when I first saw this story myself. By the way, I found your videos from looking at the whole vfx thing. I, ironically enough found vfx after doing some searching for Peter popper. You have another subscriber man. Keep this shit coming.

  • Oh, and I wouldn't hold my breath on Cenk ever growing up.

  • I've been subbed to TYT for a long time and they can be quite dorky on a lot of subjects, but I can see how these buildings could look like the twin towers with the clouds from the explosions between them, but I doubt that was the intention of the builders. I don't think that building two towers together is all that uncommon, and I see why someone might want to connect them.

  • Cenk is a good guy. In the less serious parts of his show he can be prone to snap judgements on things like this and other personal interest stories. I think he just has fun with them without putting much thought behind it.

    But he is brilliant in the political segments he does put the effort and research behind. He is one of the few that speaks the truth about the American political system. Thats why he has the following he has.

  • @fortyone0 I agree. This guy is taking this entirely too serious.

  • fag

  • This guy ranting is quite possibly the stupidest ranter ever, considering The Young Turks is political, and political parties will bash anything against America or that has the potential to...

  • @T1M3T0SH1N3

    You make no sense.

    And not everyone's life revolve around 9/11.

    And Coghlan is right, how the fuck 3000 dead in the towers compare to 1,500,000 dead Iraqis?

    The world has bigger problems than 9/11 that passed 10 years ago; Let's say American tanks still being in every pocket of the world(for example, unfortunately not the only problem).

  • @Orthodoxcrusader I wasn't supporting America you dumb ass, I was saying any political American party will bash anything that is AGAINST America... Your IQ is probably like 60, c'mon now how stupid can you be?

  • @T1M3T0SH1N3

    Calling people "dumb ass" is quite of a good way to start up your conversation and truly outline the essence of your arguments - Keep it up, mate!

    TYT is a bloody internet news show, not an "American political party"(that much about stupidity and low IQ).

  • @Orthodoxcrusader Wiki The young turks and it will state that it's a POLITICAL PROGRAM..... You're such a dumb fuck blocked and ignored faggot... Have a nice raped life, I'll be watching!

  • @T1M3T0SH1N3

    I never said it wasn't a political program(It clearly is, you idiot).

    Political program doesn't equal political party....

    Faggot? Ah, randomly assuming someone's sexual preference is ALSO one of manners to converse that will show how sharp you are and that you clearly have refined style!

    As I've said, keep it up! It will take you a long way through life.

    P.S. Ah; How can you not love sarcasm...

  • @T1M3T0SH1N3 A political program in no way equals a political party. And you have the nerve to insult someone else's intelligence.....

  • @SurvivorVeteran1 I don't listen to people who fall victim to fake reality T.V....

  • @T1M3T0SH1N3 Couldnt think of anything, could you? When you grow up a little, maybe learn some basic life skills, we can continue this discussion. It would be far too easy for me to embarrass you, in this mismatch.

  • @SurvivorVeteran1 I'm not arguing over the internet anymore, you want to say something say it to my face coward.

  • You are absolutly right !TYT sucked on this one .Clouds what an enginious idea ! But noooo . Cenk what a dildo he's become ! Anna -that's a dress ! Yo ,let judge judy use the gavel . Ok. for congress ,parliment,bundesstag,duma etc. .But that's archtecture .Thanks .

  • "Nobody cares enough about America and YOU to go to this much effort to wind somebody up."

    Fucking Aye! You are spot on. When will those retards at TYT realise the rest of the world doesn't give a crap what America thinks?

  • tyt is becoming very annoying

  • Comment removed

  • Right on my man. Everything can be interpreted in many ways. For example, the image of Jesus Christ on the cross as a symbol for Christianity.

  • your stupid

    

  • @juan95824

    It's "you're"... kind of ironic considering the rest of your comment... isn't it?

  • you are misunderstanding what he was saying, he was saying guilty to that it looked like the twin towers exploding not that it was a "conspiracy"

  • @Coughlan616 I don't think it was done on purpose, that would be absurd, but it does kind of look like the twin towers exploding. How long until Robert Spencer or Pamella Geller comes out and actually tries to connect this with Muslims and the world wide stealth jihad conspiracy?

  • When I take out my garbage, it's a complete outrage. I put out 2 bins overflowing with trash bags. It looks so horrible. Why do I do it? Because I'm a complete dick. Just like $20 bills and trees and factories with smokestacks.

  • I often agree with Cenk but I generally get the feeling that he has come to the right conclusion for all the wrong reasons.

    With regards to this particular case: I think that it's a fucking ugly design but it obviously has nothing to do with 9/11.

  • lol nice one man

  • Sorry, I'm gonna have to disagree. I agree with the young turks.

  • That, plus Cenk apparently can't do a story about a woman without talking about how he'd like to do her.

  • Dude man.. Lay off the caffeine! DAYUUUUUUUUUUUM!!

  • The building is a dream come true for the Q-Berts. @!#?@! those parade rainers.

  • Ok, the Koreans didn't design the towers, the Dutch company MVRDV did, so you were way off on that point. And that point was stated in the TYT video too. Perhaps you became so livid you missed that entirely. Also, who the hell is playing the dick measuring game with tragedies? A tragedy is a tragedy.

  • Is that a shit stain on your face or are you just a pediphile? I mean Pagan? I mean queer? Wait, we know your queer. So that MUST BE a shit stain on your face!!! With a nasty black pagan hair growing out of it. Find out if your girl was a boy yet? She write anymore horror stories? AH, now we know why she is dating you. For material because YOUR MENTAL!!! Go load your crack pipe and burn your face some more. PAGAN!!!

  • Someone from outside the US will have to inform me about this. Did your news services really not report much about the WTC attack on the day it happened? Was there only a 60 second segment about the attack followed by news anchors switching to their cheerful face to talk about the local dog show?

  • @MntlWard You have to inform me on this one too, do Americans now have the power to ban everything that vaguely looks like an H? So everything that has 2 long thingies, and then one thingy in the middle, that you Americans can tell the rest of the world to fuck off..... Right...

    Do you not see how stupid this is? Its censoring the rest of the world. The US... land of the free, wasn't it? Stupid Americans always think they control the fucking world, damn selfish idiots...

  • @SIC66SIC66 Oh, please. That structure looks like the twin towers with an explosion in the middle. Do you normally see towers that are so tall that you'd expect to see a cloud hanging around their center?

    And I'm not telling the rest of the world to fuck off. I really want to know if coverage of the event was so sparse in other countries that they can't recognize that image.

  • @MntlWard Personally, I would not even care if they came out and said, "this is our rendition of 9/11". Build whatever you want, for whatever reason you want. America does not have any say, as they do not own this country.

  • @SIC66SIC66 I think this outrage is going too far too, because freedom of art is more important than this, but are you seriously telling me that this building does not look like the twin towers? even if you take away the middle cloud part, it is still an exact copy of the world trade center, even in the same diagonal alignment. I am with cenk on that I cant believe that NOBODY noticed this. I would actually go further that the dutch designer intentionally designed it this way.

  • @schlafanzyk let me guess your an American.

  • @elipse135 nope

  • bravo. on track

  • Its freedom fries all over again.

  • It's basically the same thing that happened with the supposed "racist Australian KFC ad". They're applying their own morals to other countries and expecting others to follow them.

  • cmooooonnnncmoncmoncmon

  • The Young Turks are whacko Muslims
