Dubai Hotel "Palazzo Versace" to Have Air-Conditioned Sand on Outdoor Beach
Just when I think stupidity and waste can't get any worse, and people can't stoop any lower, I stumble across another "say what" story.
According to a news story on Yahoo News, a new hotel named "Palazzo Versace" is being built in Dubai. The real estate developers of this new hotel are considering air-conditioning the sand on the outdoor beach around the hotel so their ultra-rich clientele doesn't have to get hot while they sunbathe.
Say what?? If their "richey-rich" clients don't want to be hot sunbathing on the beach then let them stay indoors!
Seriously, this is the height of waste and inconsiderate behavior. Even if we put aside the fact that piping AC outdoors for the sake of mere vanity is a wasteful assault to our already unstable environmental eco-system, piping air conditioning outdoors is still wrong on so many other levels! People all over the world are starving, struggling to makes ends meet, put food on the table, clothe their kids, and keep from going bankrupt. These goofballs want to throw money away by air conditioning SAND - outdoors - on a beach!
The investors and executives making these decisions need to be stripped of all their possessions and made to walk in the shoes of an average citizen. That money they are wasting on extravagant unnecessary "luxury" could help so many people around the world. ARGH!!!! What do you think about this?
