The new Airbus 380 "Superjumbo" has just completed its maiden commercial flight and there are already plans to transform the world's largest passenger plane into the pinnacle of private luxury -- an executive jet.

Two European companies -- Germany's Lufthansa Technik and Switzerland's Jet Aviation -- have announced their intention to convert the enormous airliner into a flying mansion replete with private bedrooms, a movie theater, and a gym fitted with saunas and jacuzzis.

Perfect timing, ... in these moments before the world is plunged into another Great Depression, we are reminded that for some there is no limit to the amount of money they will spend to pamper themselves for no other purpose than to prove they may. Are we supposed to clap? Are we to aspire to live lives of such exalted purpose? Or as these behemoths of the sky lumber to and fro, are we to simply bow our heads in their shadows and pity Mankind that those who could have purchased efficiency at the moment it was most needed, ... chose not to do so. To Hell with their fellow man. I will not enjoy the notion that the upper crust may sleep undisturbed in double beds at 35,000 feet as they fly over the dying in Darfur, Iraq and Bangladesh.

This thing is HUGE though. It's like a flying building.

Talk about ridiculous displays. The A380 is particularly unsuited to be an executive jet. Why? The purpose of an executive jet is to be able to fly where and when you want to. There are only a handfull of airports in the world with the runway length and hangar facilities to accomodate it.
