Alien invasion

Dubai's taken on a distinctly surreal look of late. First, we had the bright green strobe gobo lights from the Burj Al Arab, which looked like they were guiding alien crafts into land. Then came the oversized upright cartoon pseudo-horses, with Elvis quiffs and better pecs than Brad Pitt.

Bridget reckons they are the modern equivalent of the Trojan Horse, with lots of invading non-Earthlings ready to pounce. Nicely imaginative, just like the anatomy of these comedy horses, but about as relevant .... Put it this way, I can't see them inspiring Steven Spielberg's latest epic.
