So, you’re a huge billionaire.  You’ve got a bitching yacht, more money than you could ever hope to spend.  What could you possibly add to the aforementioned yacht?  LASERS.  Anti-paparazzi lasers.  Ok, so not whale-melting lasers, or lasers that can sink enemy submarines or incoming missiles, but a laser that will flash a bit and ruin your photo.  Oh.  This innovative, if disappointing feature has been fitted on Roman Abramovich’s 557ft, $1.2 billion bad boy Eclipse.  Read more after the jump.

The lasers detect CCDs, or charge-coupled devices, which are used in most photoelectric sensors. Guards can activate the lasers when they spot any suspicious glint of a camera’s lens, which will then shoot a bright, focused light directly at the camera, ruining any photography.  To be honest, that seems like a pretty pussy way to handle your business Abramovich.  I thought you were shady as hell.  A burst of light?  Why don’t you do what you used to do (maybe) and get people to shoot them with awesome sniper rifles.  They’re in tree cover?  Agent Orange.  Then you can enjoy your holiday in peace, safe in the knowledge that no embarassing messing around need be done with that pansy-ass laser shield.
