Typical of the inexperienced 380 crews to let something like that get out of hand. 
I lost count of the number of safety and procedural violations in that video. Too many people in the bar area, unauthorised decorations being fitted to the roof, etc...
It's all fun until someone gets hurt.

That's awesome!
Assuming, of course, that safety precautions were in place. If turbulence was highly unlikely, I don't see an issue. The number of people in there did seem rather high, but it's hard to say from a video.

I'm certain Emirates has missed out an excellent marketing opportunity here.
It would of been really easy to have a live video link of this party broadcasted to all the passengers in Economy class. I'm sure Emirates would see a rise in people buying business class seats
... or the Economy class passengers gatecrashing the party

I have always wished / hoped for some eye candy to sit next to me. Would make the flight a bit more interesting. It NEVER happens.
If I do have anyone sit next to me of the opposite sex (hardly is the case in J or F), its always someone EXTREMELY boring or nothing to write home about.
