Tasteless dictator's palace

There was a discussion earlier about how tasteless a lot of modern Japanese architecture is. I got a real laugh about this article on the tastelessness of modern dictator's palaces. My favorite quote is a guy describing the interior of Ike Turner's mansion: "I didn't know you could spend a million dollars at Woolworths."

Sorry about that. Can't seem to be able to make it work....Oh well it was an interesting read anyway.

Thank you, Mikecash, that is exactly the article I was trying to link, they seem to have moved it.

For future reference, I found it by going to Google News and doing a search on "guardian" and "dictator".
