Can We Get A Reality Check On Aisle 7 Please?

I was on my way to a meeting this evening when I passed an upscale furnishings store.  As part of their window display they had a coffee table book entitled Luxury Private Islands.

Luxury Private Islands

We will pause while you consider this.

Really?  Isn't the word "Luxury" terribly redundant?  Not to mention insulting to those of us without private islands.

Is there anyone, anywhere, who has actually said, "Yes I have a private island but it is a real dump."?

And if there is, do they understand they will be among the first whose heads wind up in the basket?

Good Grief!
