B*tchez.

well, this will succed

... well i could have just watch the travel channel

all that work when you could have just given a link to this http://dubai.isnuts.googlepages.com.nyud.net:8080/

i DID link it

"They even want a spaceport, which doesn't even exist yet."

its at the end of the ytmnd and other sources

I stopped off at the U.A.E. when on a deployment. Unfortunately, we were not allowed into town. Personally, I think what Dubai is doing is great. They can be a shining beacon as to what Arabs can accomplish if they would only embrace the 21st century, and give up the fundamentalist dream of reverting/staying in the 7th century.

5d for awsomness

Rich people are crazy no matter what color.

building large towers in the middle east... unwise.

Anyone wanna talk now about the United Arab Emirates' human rights violations? I'm just sayin is all.

I watched about 5 minutes of a Discovery channel episode about this.

Thats just pretty interesting.

Too bad its in the middle of muslim psycho central.

Ya, it looks amazing. Too bad people like me are too afraid of the crazy sh*t that goes on around that area.

http://dubai.isnuts.googlepages.com.nyud.net:8080, put that in the imagin origin

is it possible to build a mile high building?

a

lol, when people stop depending on oil, that city is F*CKED.

+1

you spelled residential wrong in one frame -4. haha jk.

When alt fuels take over, Dubai will be Odessa x 10,000.

lol oil

too bad money controls the world, and alternative fuel sources aren't coming into play anytime soon

very educational and well done. they're making tons of sh*t there

LOOK AT ME I CAN COPY A BLOG HORRAY!

I hope you get too see it too, I havent been there but I've been close...very pretty. You don't find this sh*t on the travel channel. Adn why the f*ck would you want to nuke them?...jealousy? And you don't find this sh*t in blogs eoither.

Don't mind spelling please haha

Informative and impressive. Everyone, make sure to link this to morons you know who say "LOL ARABS R IN MIDDLE AGES CUZ THEY R KRAZY MUSLIMZ". It is amazing what any civilization can do with some money and no outside military influences.

Amazing... they have been very busy busy little bees.

They're spending their oil-money on developing a huge tourism industry in order to secure their economic future. They're not crazy - they know exactly what they're doing.

that is nuts, and i am with you i would like to visit this place...esspecially after they get a space port.

where did you come from

This is another reason why I hate my race and what its become. Also my country.

really cool

Nice.

I know someone from Dubai.

I hope to see it too someday... See it nuked that is. F*ck those sand n*gg*rs.

f*ck me in the ass. i should have downvoted this into oblivion when I had the chance. All you've done is taken content I saw a few days ago and made it a powerpoint presentation. Whoopty sh*t.

That...is....AWESOME!!!

I wish my area were more metropolitan.

Wow. What an interesting and informative presentation.

would you say its like a modern day sim city

Reidental? And where the metric system at? Something tells me you just copied this sh*t.

HAY GUYS YTMND FEELD TRIPZORZ LAWL!! lol yeah we should all go visit sometime... fill up a few planes with a buncha knuckleheads screaming 'NOT EVEN DOOM MUSIC CAN MAKE THIS FLIGHT GO FASTER!' or some other silly fad thing people would do irl... lol, dubai. im down for a field trip, Max can supervise!

uuuuuhhh i wanna go there really badly its like hyperglitzy

Yea but we have Detroit!!!Boo Yaa!!

Good job timing the song with your presentation, a stellar one at that.

Ariel lives in dubai

I miss her

Jesus Christ! The asians are going to have building envy before long.

I went there and it was indeed crazy. I visited the burj al arab and they made me pay $50 just to go in to look at it. Turns out to rent a room for one night it costs $3,000. Although I guess the citizens of dubai can pay for it considering the fact that the UAE has no taxes, pays for all forms of eduaction including college, will give you a free house if you want it and pays you $300 a month if you have a child so you can support it. It's a pretty crazy place to be.

That's f*cking awesome!!!

great ytmnd

1'd for having your audio only play into my left speaker I HAVE 2 EARS DOUCHEBAG TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That place looks awesome but really...CHANGE THAT MUSIC.

i've had my eye on dubai for a while now, there finally getting popular enuff to get a YTMND page! Now we know its gone toooo far!! Maybe some day a crazy American can fly a plane into that huge tower, wouldnt that be ironic!?

I know someone who lives on one of those palm-tree manmade islands.

Destroy Dubai

FTW............POLAND

dubai ports fiasco was a political stunt. Looks like a nice place for a vacation :)

sooo true thats what oil gets ya

to the creator, you may want to check out Project Al Mogran too, it's Sudan's answer to Dubai: http://www.alsunut.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=28

music alone gets 5

Ballin' city to visit...if you have plenty of cash laying around

Amen, I want to go there, they're practically Americans, doesnt matter what you are, if you have money, yuo better spend it there

Some of Dubaulands rides:Al swahir sdasfdhjkajfsdjghsdgfjy

Dubai=Mideast's New York

F*ck, Dubailand will take the throne by having the tallest, fastest roller coaster the amusement park 10 minutes away from me claims as of 2007

ugh, just even thinking about that city...my wallet hurts

holy f*ck

Let them enjoy their power trip; it will run dry soon.

crash a plane into that bitch

Hahahaha. What a complete load of crap.

Thats f*cking awesome.

please take me there, that is my paradise.

Whites build structures to last. Non-Whites build stuff to crash. Tidalwave anyone?

Tsunami in the gulf?

...Crazy is right. But WHY can't they build OUT instead of UP? They have enough room!

This reminds me of an intro to your typical RPG...all we need now is for Dubai's mayor to go completely insane and gather a massive army to overthrow the world. O_O

They have built a magnificent place to visit. They are in a good location as far as nonmilitary concerns go. Like a few have commented and people keep missing, this is them building a huge money-making resort for their own future. The irony is that, while in the US that would be stimulating the local economy like crazy, most of the UAE's blue-collar workers are imported because citizens get free sh*t and are college educated. Important families also own slaves!

there's only one reason i don't 5 this....you totally omit the oppression of the workers there, and the slave labour wages that they get. some workers aren't even paid at all. these workers basically live in their own sh*t, and for what? the world's largest residential tower? it's insane! read the most recent national geographic, then you'll understand the predicament these people are in. something needs to be done in Dubai...there's blood all over the buildings there...

I served over there before, I know. This is pretty cool though

mono sound?

I wonder if Mormon fundamentalists will fly planes into them.

omg i thought this was katamari music -pwns

i still wont visit

they are doing it so that if the oil runs out, they have more sources of income

"Google" is not a source. Still, thanks for the crazy images.

cool!

my left ear feels lonely

stfu newbs im hearing it in surround sound fine

NOW IN STEREO

i love these ytmnds

I hope they build nukes and nuke us with them, that would kick ass

Sooooooo... I suppose this kind of excess is the West's fault, too. I'm wondering (and not out of my own prurient interest, I swear) about possible prostitution, including the kind of "sex tourism" that Amsterdam and Bangkok etc. thrive on, and gambling and alcohol in this tourists' paradise. Hell, Michael Jackson already moved there, didn't he ? And we're at the tippy-tips of Arabia - across the peninsula are the Hajj sites, and right across the strait from Iran... Kind of embarassing...

Dubai kicks ass, I want to go there.

And then the tsunami comes and destroys all their water based property. Is it really that smart to be building such massive and expensive structures in such an unstable environment? >.>

interesting but a powerpoint nonetheless.

In a way I'm comparing Dubai to Singapore - but Singapore has commerce, a huge shipping hub in the middle of all these cheap-labor countries, advanced infrastructure, efficient beaureaucracy... UAE/Dubai's claim that their economic boom isn't residual from oil wealth is ridiculous - so after oil, what do they have ? No resources around there, not enough space or labor for manufacturing... so it's going to have to be banking, so the super-rich play and bank in the same town. Talk about a bomb target !

New New York?

That was pretty edutaining.

cool

I didn't 1 this only because the music's cool, I wanna live there, and your name.

Should have spent all that money on the world's largest desalinization plant, that way they have resources once the oil dries up.

coolness

givin' us better kill ratios for our nukez vs. them dunecoons

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy

Talk about a Napoleon complex

silly arabs...

Now that is just f*cking insane. How did those bastards get so rich?

I won't go there unless there's a Starbucks and a Best Buy. I hope they can figure out a way to attract at least one of each.

Interesting - and nice sound.

Katamari music = 5

everyone here seems to be "OMGZOR, DUBAI IS TEH SH*TZ LAWLZ!!!"...get educated people, they may have money, but they essentially enslave the workers there. Most of these people leave their fatherland to find work where they couldn't, and then they arrive and find that it is worse than their original country, but they can't go home because they spent their savings trying to buy a new life in Dubai. Read a little about it first before you decide you want to spend your family vacation there.

the music is why i like this.

Let's stop using oil and switch to an alternative fuel source. WHOOPS! THERE GOES YOUR ECONOMY, F*GGOTS!

This is not a YTMND. This is a powerpoint. 2 only for sources. Nothing I didn't know anyway.

They're a bunch of genius's, especially with that "Dubai land" thing. It's going to be the BIGGEST farkin' tourist attraction in the world. It's already home to some of the most amazing hotels in the world, and if the city seriously gets to be that big in 2008, (which I don't doubt it will), they will have MORE than enough population to run it all and keep the revenue coming. It wouldn't matter if we completely converted from oil in 2009, that city will be the biggest on the planet by then.

I saw the islands on an episode of Superbuilders. But insane spending like this cannot possibly sustain itself...eventually something bad's gonna happen.

I saw this on 60 minutes about three weeks ago. Yes it is truly amazing what they have done, however the workers that build these creations get very little money, have to live in squalor and have a very high rate of accidental deaths on the jobsite. In other words there is no concern for their safety.

Now that's some crazy sh*t. What if some big major natural disaster or some terrorist attack caused that hotel to fall down. That'd be the craziest sh*t ever.

Paranoid-Android, I wouldn't be talking about how you feel empathy, unless you make your own clothes, children who work with slave-wages probably made your shirt, pants, boxers, and shoes.

Anyone who says anything about a tsunami destroying this city IS F*CKING RETARDED! Look at the map and where it's located before you say STUPID SH*T F*CKERS! The tsunami would have to be big enough to cross the entire peninsula that it's on. GODDAMNIT PEOPLE ARE F*CKING DUMB!!!

It's a nice city and all, but wouldn't one gigantic wave or hurricane destroy most of the city? I had this idea a while back when finding out about it on the travel channel.

As above, their location is wonderful--aside from, you know, their neighbors. Who are known for the most fanatical religious and cultural infighting of pretty much anywhere in existance. I hope they're spending a lot of money investing in counterterrorism.

All of you who say that Dubai makes money from oil, realize that only 6% of it's GDP is from oil. Their main source of income is the JAFZ (Jebel Ali Free Zone). Maybe research something before you say something completely un-true.

this entire city will be flooded in 50 years ^_^

then i make f*cking money so i can get there

Thats intense, if all goes well then they wont need to rely on oil for their economy, which is probably a good idea.

No offense but you should also add things... The UAE is basically the only place in much of the arab world where you can drink and gamble (except for lebanon)...saudi's go there all the time because the rest of saudi arabia is like a dry county....albeit in iran you could drink (illegal) but gambling would be hard to do. Much of what you see might not last long....why not? Because what they are trying to do would be against the building codes of about 99% of the world.

continued - You cannot build skyscrapers on sea level and expect nothing to happen. Remember the city called New Orleans? Now I doubt they have hurricanes there but flooding can easily be a risk as would storms/sand storms. Also one should remember that much of this IS being paid by what we pay at the pump..

I was just there yesterday. While it is nice with all its malls and hotels, there's a *lot* of poverty there as well.

ive been there its real nice. not nice to live, but awesome visit. only 6% off oil and claims of 70% of the worlds cranes. the saudi emir rumors to build a building 1 mile tall, maybe its just talk
