Air Bus?

It's more like an air city... the new Airbus being built has hundreds of contracts for sales on its newly delayed production line of airplanes that will boast much more room for passengers even in the lowest of classes. That really is great news however, it also will have things like duty-free shops, maybe casinos, whatever the purchasing airline wants to add in on this jumbo of all jumbo jets that have Mercedes motors that are so quiet you barely hear them. One airline has already signed on to have a shower installed in first class.

Now I can see the shower, especially on over seas flights, but are we really so bored, so incapable of providing our own entertainment for a few hours that we need flying casinos? Do we REALLY need to shop so badly that we need stores ON the airplanes? Airports the world over already bust with duty free stores, how spend-happy are we that we need to have them on the planes too?
