In the News...We all know about Dubai's troubles by now, but as they say, the show must go on. The show, of course, is Dubai's 10th Annual Dubai Auto Show and, as if to highlight how Dubai's troubles began, Mercedes Benz is going to be displaying a gold-colored SLS AMG, which, I may add, has to be one of the most absurdly over-the-top Benzes yet. This is, I feel, why it appeals to me. Ostentatious to the point of obnoxiousness, this new car harkens back to the Benzes of old with its gullwing doors and overall roadster styling. It also is a perfect display piece for Dubai, metropolis of the future, slathered in gold gilt that is...wait, are those paint chips falling off? This isn't gold, this is nail polish! Why is the currency crappy all of a sudden, and how come those crazy-ass rotating buildings never got built? Abu Dhabi is throwing money at us now? How did we become the paupers of the Middle East all of a sudden?
It was those crazy islands, wasn't it? I knew we shouldn't have sunk all that money into making an island shaped like David Duchovny. Although that palm tree-ish thing was pretty cool. Right? Right? Maybe we shouldn't have built that one building that looks like it should be Emperor Palpatine's tower. Oooh, look! A shiny car!
Bedazzled. Sounds like a solid plan.
