Worlds Largest Graffiti

Do you want to check out the worlds largest graffiti? Then go for a look at the island of Al Futaisi in the United Arab Emirates using Google Maps or Google Earth.  

The incredibly wealthy sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan, who is member of the country´s royal family, has had his first name shoveled out in the desert sands by laborers from Pakistan and Bangladesh. The inscription is three kilometer long. 

Isn't that a terribly creative way to spend your money and wealth in a world where disease and famine kills people by the millions? I feel like slapping someone.
