    I get it now. That Palm Island isn't really a palm tree, its a hand; right next to this thing. The new tagline for Dubai is " DUBAI- SUCK ON THIS"

    When they are sitting around a design of this structure, do they really not see what we see? I mean from all the architectural drawings I've seen in the past there is always an aerial view.

    The press's breathy ejaculations of the UAE's demise are premature.

    Dubai: the only place in the world where you can find architecture that was actually designed by 4th grade boys. "LOL!! add a racetrack so we can drive up to our rooms! "

    I watched the race a while back. This doesn't look so phallic from most angles...or if you're not looking for cock shapes. It is, however, hilariously gaudy and mindblowingly cool at the same time (sort of like a high-tech Graceland or our neighbor's Xmas decorations).

    It was extremely smart of UAE to realize that one day their oil money would dry up so they should invest in infrastructure and attempt to make Dubai the business capital of the middle east; however, they took it way too far. They started creating things that were just ridiculous and way too grand. Additionally, they are all huge energy wasting buildings. They should have just built sustainable infrastructure instead of indoor ski parks and air conditioned beaches.

    @PurpleMonkeyDishwasher:: I think their hubris (am I using it correctly?) got the better of them. Sure you can throw money at buildings, make them extravegant, one of a kind etc, but in terms of the long run, the big picture...they were a bit far-sighted (am I using that correctly too?).

    @BergenCountyJC can't beat MW2: Just a waring, if you are going to throw money at buildings, make sure its paper money as coins could break the windows.

    I think the Swiss just banned their other symbol of giant penises everywhere, the Minaret.
