The Brisbane night sky is lit up by the lights of Stephan's looming Skyneedle. People either love it or hate it. And the only reason they love it is purely for kitsch value [which is, admittedly, through the roof].
Built for Expo '88, it was later purchsed by Stephan, a reknown Brisbane hairdresser. Sally and I have been tossing around ideas for a screenplay (a trilogy is the present thinking) featuring Stephan as a meglomaniacal villain.
We're fairly certain we'll be keen to portray himself.
Stefan's Skyneedle has a "Needless Love and Appreciation Society" on Facebook -- I'm one of the 50 members -- and, of course, a Wikipedia page.

Haha what a ridiculous thing to purchase!
From Stefan's Wikipedia page:
Stefan was a finalist in the 2004 Australian of the Year awards. He is also a keen power boat racer and holds the record for the fastest crossing of Bass Strait.
