Scary part – this isn’t even frickin’ satire !! I’m looking forward to the lakes at JLT being filled in, and the pristine marshlands of Dubai Creek being drained to create a “Business Bay” or something. Oh wait, they did that already? Oh heck, let’s alter those shoreline ecosystems so we can get rid of all that pesky fish in the gulf and instead we can all eat imported fish.

Great idea on the fish, we’re already on it. Just looking at a Dubai angle.
We thought Goldfish but then we realised everyone had them.
So we’ve developed Platynumfish.
It’s half platypus, half fish so you also get legs which KFC can work with.
We’re still working on making them enormous, in line with Dubai’s SOP.
But let me tell you, a daddy blue whale does a lot of damage to a mummy platypus – we may have to rethink that one.

How much for the platynumfish, I must have one – NOW!
I already have a breeding pair of Duck Billed Platynumpussies 🙁 Platynumpussii? HELP!

One of those ugly ‘lakes’ are being filled in to make a park. Surely that’s a good thing. You stupid donkey.

One can NEVER have enough Malls Anonymous?
What the hell use is a Golden Beach if it’s not actually made of gold? They’re just made of sand, how poverty stricken does that make Dubai look, eh?
No, more malls is the only way to go, I like to have my ‘Crap, on Tap’, wherever I go.
Parks and Trees?? Have a word with yourself!

We’re in danger of having a serious debate here…!
Moving swiftly on I think it’s a great idea and have heard rumblings of a new shopping mall connecting Qatar to Bahrain in the worlds longest mall and first Mall-Metro system where you actually get the metro from shop to shop as the boots your looking for could be a 2 mile hike.

What they should do is have a huge concrete roof over all of Dubai, incororating all the malls, towers and roads. That way we can all be lazy and live in full A/C and our servants can toil away on our behalf in pleasant surroundings!

You are all missing the point here. Think about it. Another mall would mean more of the same shops selling the same crap and your same favourite brands. More scary Filipinas sitting on those stands in the aisle selling camels,sweets and language videos. More strange sculptures that dont actually mean anything. More hello mamsir! That fabulously welcoming Dubai customer service. And to top it all maybe another spooky Geant or Carrefore. Who needs beaches anyway, its too hot, the sea is devoid of any life and you cant get a drink!!

An intriguing part of the new complex is the entire second floor will be an indoor beach, with a life-like ocean and man-made sun designed to emulate a real beach as much as possible, the first of its kind. One drawback is it will cost 500 million dollars, leaving investors dissatisfied with how to spend the rest of the 6 billion they were looking to spend on the project.
