What is Willis Tower?
Search: willis tower
Why: On the Kanye West douchebaggery bandwagon meme site I'mma Let You Finish:
Answer: The Sears Tower! Should I have recognized it from the picture? Well, color me never-been-to-Chicago.
Although the Sears naming rights expired in 2003, the building continued to be called Sears Tower for several years. In March 2009, London-based insurance broker Willis Group Holdings, Ltd., agreed to lease a portion of the building if it could have naming rights. The building was officially renamed Willis Tower on July 16, 2009.

The More You Know: I am learning so much from Kanye's mistakes.
Also, I've been meaning to look this up for a while: the official name of Chicago's big steel "bean" sculpture is Cloud Gate.
