The sheer excess takes it beyond normal aesthetic criticism. Is the Kohinoor diamond too big? Well, yeah. Is a single F-35 jet, at $150 million or so a pop, outrageously wasteful? Sure. Is Christo wrapping the Grand Canyon in Saran Wrap insane? Of course. But sometimes you just have to marvel at man's creative madness.

Nod nod. I must say, though, that in that, it's like a successful work of art, in that one simply can't truly express what it is and says in verbal language...it would be a real nasty to make art history students compare/contrast it with a Salvador Dali on a test.

Computer-generated prayer mats that automatically align with Mecca? A private elevator to lower the prince to the runway, with an illuminated red carpet that deploys as he steps out? A conference room you can attend by hologram? No comment necessary, or even possible.
