"Designed by UAE development company Tameer Holding, the 33-story high display will reportedly be "embedded on an intended commercial tower in the Majan district of Dubailand," where it will stand tall and blast out advertisements to onlookers some 1.5-kilometers away.

Dubbed Podium, the building will also house 33 levels of "premium commercial office space, two floors dedicated to retail and four floors for parking..."

    This helps us none what so ever. How about a 33 story high photo-voltaic system? We are in a critical stage of developing answers to global warming so what do we do? Oh yeah, build a 33-story TV so we can waste energy advertising latte's and insurance. Sorry, not the best example of human potential.

    when this area of the world is abandoned in 40 years or so when the oil money runs out, people are going to look back at what they are doing now and just shake their heads in disgust

    Dubai has invested in some of the most outlandish and incredible projects.

    This project: Pointless, yes, incredible, yes, changing the world, I doubt it.

    Dubai is where Cheney and W will retire to avoid prosecution. At least now they'll have something to watch.

    Dubai is running out of oil money and they know this. So they are building extravagant resorts and spectacles to attract a large tourist base for new revenues sources. Also, I am an engineer, a screen of that size creates a major over-heating problem. I would love to see the cooling system designed for such a large screen. Quite the engineering feat.

    This would be infinitely more awesome if it was running Tetris.

    You could have pretty much anything you want if you have enough money for it, regardless of how pointless it actually is. 33-story tv FTW! I want to see Spongebob Squarepants on it!
