We used to love to watch a show on MTV called, "Pimp My Ride."  

The premise of the show was to take someone's junker car and not just fix it up, but add a ton of extra junk that you would NEVER think to do based on that person's job, hobbies, etc.

One of my favorite lines from that show came from the host when it was shown that one of the additions to a vehicle was a full-size, inflatable trampoline that extended from trunk of some Buick, "This is stunningly unnecessary."

That is EXACTLY the way I felt when I was watching this review of a First Class seat on Emirates Air.  Not saying I wouldn't take advantage of it in a heartbeat tho (as long as I didn't have to pay...GOD ONLY KNOWS how expensive it is).
