You LOSE America!

Suck on the huge Arabic tower of needless enormity!

I'm sure you're all familiar with the 'Freedom Tower', the big shiny thing created to replace WTC Tower #1 (America's penis) and WTC Tower #2 (America's spare penis).

The good people of Dubai (rich Arab fantasy land) have decided to undermine America's imposing architectural grandeur, not with kamikaze airliners but with a much larger, more splendid phallic tower! In 2008, the Freedom Tower will stand at a mere 541 metres tall, or the remarkably cheesy height of 1776 feet if you still think the metric system is a communist conspiracy. The Burj Dubai on the other hand will stand not far from the Tower of Babel's supposed former location at an undisclosed height of BETWEEN EIGHT HUNDRED AND NINE HUNDRED METRES! I'll be starting up a "Buy DarAlHarb a luxury apartment in the Burj Dubai" Paypal fund ASAP.

PS: Please don't bother to point out the apparent wastefulness of building the world's tallest tower next to vast tracts of uninhabited desert. The Burj Dubai isn't about the soul-less, pragmatic pursuit of efficiently using land. It's about spending rich Arab oil money on something that isn't terrorism, terrorist themed religious schools, bribes to UN officials or nuclear weapons. It's about Arabs focusing their creative energy on a project that will satisfy their totally legitimate desire to outdo America in a *positive*, rather than a negative way.

PSS: On the downside, Dubai's 321 metre high Burj al-Arab (the world's tallest hotel) will be looking positively chodelike within half a decade
