Given that there's no marks for the obvious obscene suggestion in the case of this building, any ideas what to call the Scottish Parliament?

I wonder what the architect was going through when they made that design, and I wonder who picked it... Doesn't fit in with the rest of Edinburgh's fantastic architecture (Appleton Tower aside) at all. Overbudget and ugly.
