[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;45641158]Every time I see some kind of food with gold in it all I can think is how much of a waste of perfectly good gold it is. There isn't exactly a lot of the stuff.[/QUOTE] You have to understand how etremly little gold there is in there.
[QUOTE=Katatonic717;45640942]I don't understand who would buy this.[/QUOTE] Buy it, tape it, and upload the video to YouTube. Make your money back in no time. On the plus side, gold poop.
I don't understand sea salt. Is it actually any different from regular old rock salt?
[QUOTE=Bazsil;45642020]Sea salt from [I]France[/I]? They couldn't even afford to get Greek sea salt? What is this [I]peasant trash [/I] ps people getting mad about this, they were paid to make the most extravagant cupcake possible so no shit they went all out like it or not rich people are allowed to spend some money on whimsical interests too[/QUOTE] And? Doesn't mean we can't call it dumb shit.
[QUOTE=LegndNikko;45644471]And? Doesn't mean we can't call it dumb shit.[/QUOTE] 'How dare people spend their money on whatever they want, I must call it dumb.'
[QUOTE=SigmaLambda;45642054]Rich people aren't content to just have all the money and power; they also need to flaunt their superiority with useless, extravagant expenditures. They need to remind all of us just how little a fuck they need to give to get by.[/QUOTE] And they'll still moan about having to pay taxes
[QUOTE=Monkah;45640954]...If I was a wealthy, old fuck? I probably would.[/QUOTE] If I was a wealthy old fuck? I would still be living on McCain's Micro Chips because I'm as tight as a ducks arse with money. And they only take 3 minutes in a microwave, i'd take a pack over a fucking $900 cupcake any day.
[QUOTE=carcarcargo;45644826]And they'll still moan about having to pay taxes[/QUOTE] Uber-wealthy and self-centered corporate CEOs don't speak for every wealthy person, you know There are plenty of wealthy people who are perfectly happy paying taxes. Just because there's a bunch of dickwads who cheat their way out of taxes through money that you see on the news doesn't mean that everyone with an above-average net worth is a shitlord like that.

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;45645118]They still seem to mostly vote conservative.[/QUOTE] My parents and all their friends tend to vote conservative, and they're perfectly fine paying taxes. I'd say it's mostly the same for most republicans. You're just watering down the views of the most extreme conservatives and assuming that every single one of them are a bunch of rich assholes who just want to cheat their way out of paying the government taxes, when in reality most of them are just normal people who abide the law. You'd cry bloody hell if someone called all liberals or democrats the same, yet you have absolutely no problem in generalizing an entire group of people so long as they're "the enemy".

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;45645230]I don't know what it's like in the US, but in the UK our conservatives are always trying to lower taxes for the rich, despite the fact they should really be paying a lot more.[/QUOTE] That's one of the main selling points of the republicans. Not all Conservatives are the same, but to pretend a large chuck of people who vote conservatively do it for some reason other than taxes is naive.
[QUOTE=Bazsil;45644072]rich people cant have fun!! they're all secretly just doing it on purpose to rub our noses in it!!! jealousy isn't good for you jesus christ why do you think that anything anyone does, is just to make an impression on you? i can promise you that the people who bought this dont give a fuck what you think boo fucking hoo people are spending their money on things you dont approve of[/QUOTE] I'm criticising a society as a whole that glorifies and encourages extravagantly spending 900$ on a single cupcake that includes precious metals. It's the same as when people buy diamonds, a common but artificially rare and high price commodity, in order to show status symbol. I'm being idealistic, as I've already stated, he is free to spend his money on that kind of stuff, I don't expect them not to. If you weren't too busy putting words in my mouth and implying that I'm jealous of him, you would be able to understand that. On this forum you seemingly can't criticise anything or anyone without somebody blowing off the other end and start implying that you're envious of it/them.

Does nobody else here wonder what a $900 cupcake tastes like? If I was a rich, old hag-- I'd totally get one.
If $899 went to charity I'd be cool with it.
[QUOTE=Monkah;45640954]...If I was a wealthy, old fuck? I probably would.[/QUOTE] I'd use the $900 to commission a life-size sculpture of my greatest enemy out of cannoli, and then make a video of me eating them. Naked. While the Eton Boat Song plays in the background. And then I'd send it to their entire family. [video=youtube;dQJKf3IT_gs]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQJKf3IT_gs[/video]
I'd eat it without the champagne cream filling. That sounds gross as shit.
[QUOTE=Thereddragon;45644970]If I was a wealthy old fuck? I would still be living on McCain's Micro Chips[/QUOTE] Is that John McCain's dandruff or what
Cupcakes suck anyway. Literally just (admittedly tasty) cream with loads of dry, boring cake underneath.
[QUOTE=Antdawg;45644717]'How dare people spend their money on whatever they want, I must call it dumb.'[/QUOTE] yeah if someone spends money on something that i think is dumb then i will probably call it dumb
[QUOTE=Zenreon117;45642340]Good to know we are putting humanity's time and effort into such things. Who says money is flawed?[/QUOTE] says the person putting their time and effort in to complaining on an internet forum
I don't think eating metal is healthy
