Hey, who stole the Pru?

How did the Prudential Center and 101 Huntington end up in the oil-rich emirate of Dubai?

... Maybe Boston is actually Dubai and nobody's bothered to tell us. Or maybe, just maybe, in an effort to drive up sales, the Pru powers-that-be created some kind of weird tesseract thingy around the Prudential Center that makes it exist outside our space-time, allowing it to appear in both cities simultaneously, but neither city realizes it ...

It only stands to reason that Boston's buildings are there, because the whole world is in Dubai. (Don't miss the magnificent and bizarre promotional video on that linked page.)

Ah, fun with Photoshop. I once owned photographic proof that my whole department had long blond hair and went to visit a grain silo in the midwest. Photographic proof, I tell you!

But really, that building in the front...what the hell? I am no architecture student, but that just rubs me the wrong way. It looks like it's made out of recycled tires.
