What's the matter with you people? Are you so limitted in your view of life that if it doesn't "fit" what you think it should be that it is either a complete waste or foolish? Maybe it is but so what? It's NO different that some very poor person who doesn't have a clue to where of IF they are going to eat later today and them seeing YOU buy an X-Box or the plain jane I-Pad. To them, that's a complete waste of money but to anyone buying such things, it's just something extra, something they may feel the deserve or even need (cough cough lol) Relax, people who spend this kind of money on one of these things can afford it, it's NOTHING to them to drop a hundred grand on something "fun" no more than how others can drop a couple hundred.

Americans really don't starve... I mean only if your poor and stupid at the same time. We have food stamps, soup kitchens, churches, shelters, I mean I've seen some of my class from highschool on the street, it's not hard to eat if your hungry.
As for the iPad, people that are actually rich, wouldn't buy that, a rapper might, or some upper middle class dipshit trying to impress his friends might.
I have friends that could afford that while I myself can't, I would laugh at the useless upgrade to a relatively useless gadget/fad if any of my friends bought one. I mean 180k? Go buy a boat, a lakehouse, or invest in gold, more than like 18 oz of it.

LaRue I agree with you. I also think if someone actually spends their money on something like this that they already have done the things like investing and have boat(s) along with everything else. To them, this is something "fun" while to the average person we just can't really understand it. All I'm saying is a couple hundered grand to them is like a couple hundred bucks to us. No need for people to get all bent out with these folks. I'd like to think they have already given plenty of money (more than most could even think about) to others who actually need it. I'm sure if someone won 2 hundered thousand bucks wouldn't go and spend most all of it on this damn thing lol Well, one second thought I'm sure there are a few lol.
