It just goes to show money talks.
I would rather spend that money on helping to feed the hungry.

Wow! I can't believe how ridiculously cheap and idiotic all of you guys are. I mean, $20,000 is not that much. Seriously.

If you had the cash you would have the same thing. I would.

I have sit here all day trying to figure out how to get my dog to a vet. The vet I had stopped allowing anyone to 'pay out' their bill. I believe she has cancer of ths stomach. $300 looks like $300000000 to me right now.

I don't think I need to say how i feel about this idiot and his expensive toys.

Jess at #2 is a dumbass. That's like asking why buy a Rolex when my shitty little plastic Timex also tells time.

Wat BULLSH****T!!! I could buy a cheap condo for 20G's.... This kinda stuff outrages me since I can barely make it on my own two feet.... I dont even think of having a plain jane mp3 player let alone a waste of money like this.... hey since you have so much money to waste, why not throw some my way so I can move to be with my family!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????

If you think about it, this guy and his extravagance isn't really that different than everyone else. Consider this: an MP3 player consists of a $10 to $20 memory chip, another $2 in chips and components, say a $2 battery, and maybe another $1 for a case. You can buy a big one for $50 or a cheap one for less than $20. But MILLIONS of people will spend $200 for an IPOD because they think it's cool (and they think it makes them cool). They'll even spend a ton of money to have it ENGRAVED! So, before you criticize this guy, look around you and look at yourselves. It's sad, but this is the world we live in.

Zury Sep 16th 2006 8:00PM

We all know how fashionable things like MP3 players are and how quickly we get bored with the same old ones...now having it made out gold and all that just makes its a bigger headache when you drop it!! I wouldn't make any trendy gadget out of jewelry since each month there is something better... come on now.

You "people don't have homes" brainwashed bottom-feeders should first check and see. I did. He funds soup kitchens & all sorts of charity stuff. The publicity, for 20k, will more than pay itself off. Instead of hating people who actually have the balls to be an employer, versus an employee, why not try to make some money yourself. BTW - Billionaires have really large penises. People who earn time and a half whenever massah throws them a bone have the tiny ones...
