Whatchoo Talkin'....

Yeah, yeah. No. I'm sorry, but just no. No no no.
Goodbye Sears Tower, hello Willis. The letters on  Chicago's  best-known building were changed Wednesday and a formal ceremony marking the  switch is Thursday. London-based Willis, an insurance brokerage,  got the naming rights in exchange for leasing three floors of office space.

It will always be Sears Tower. Suck it, Willis.

I totally agree with you! My wife and I were there over the Labor Day weekend and the employees of the tower all agreed. Even though the towers owners had told them they have no choice but to call it "Willis Tower", they still call it by its real name, "Sears Tower"! Good for them!
