They have enough trouble building one story airliners ... You sure this isn't ScrappleFace?

I'd prefer converting a large sheep hauling ship.

The schadenfreude potential here is huge. The 380 has yet to prove itself and may be another year away from actual service.
What can Airbus be thinking?

"Among the features proposed for the future aircraft are six restaurants, three duty free shops, a lounge with a discothèque, two full sized movie theatres, a 14 lane bowling alley, a swimming pool with water slides, a wedding chapel, a fully functional medical clinic, and a 11,000 volume library."
But what you'll actually get is 7 floors of coach seats jammed in a closely as possible so as to maximize passenger load. Remember the 747 "Sky lounge"? Anyone actually ever seen one on a commercial airliner in the real world?

14 lane bowling alley, a swimming pool with water slides Swimming and bowling. Two activities that will never happen on an airplane.

The really cheap seats will be in steerage. They are housed within the Empannage and have no window seats. There are no other amenities. Carry on is limited to 4 liters of water and two sandwiches.

Can you imagine the yaw you would experience if you rode in the empennage/VS?? LOL Actually it IS big enough to accommodate passengers. Wouldn't be hard to add windows. Heat, cabin pressure and cabin service might be issues. Actually a wing root seat might be cool too.

Each seat comes with its own white linen napkin that doubles as a flag ...

Airbus should slap some wings, wheels, and a tail on this thing, and they will be all set:
