This is weird...skip to 12:30 to see the drone shots, but all the interior stuff is wild. How could they build so much garbage?

If you ever wanted a perfect example of "people investing their own money and effort for profit does not automatically direct resources into something people actually want or need", the $200M Burj Al Baba investment project is kind of a perfect example.

...although I have to say a part of me absolutely loves just how absurd and creepy that whole thing is <3

I just don't even understand it. You can clearly see they couldn't be made livable, by any sane definition. Why build hundreds of them?

I thought the sarcasm was obvious, but I guess not. I should have put it in green text

I miss Jon. I wish they'd add the daily show to netflix or something. I would totally go back and watch reruns. I don't even care if it isn't topical anymore.

You can watch the old episodes on Comedy Central's website. You'll need a VPN if watching in Canada though.

I'm thinking about contacting the sales office just to see what kind of pitch they would have for this project. Maybe even make a phone call and record it.
