Oh, money! You can't take it with you, when you're gone... Or can you? Our consumer culture is out to prove that you can. That is, you can bury yourself in gold... and text us all about it in the afterlife. hey yo, do u c dead ppl? lolz :)
Today, "a cell-phone-equipped golden coffin" was debuted at the Luxury And Yachts Verona 2010 trade fair. And let me tell you, it's such a steal at only $381,000! You know you want one! The King of Pop and the Godfather of Soul had 'em. (Although, the music legends only paid $25,000 for their golden caskets. However, their coffins didn't come with a cell phone! AND HOW CAN YOU LIVE WITHOUT A CELL PHONE WHEN YOU'RE DEAD?!)
I find this simply ridiculous! RIDICULOUS! With all the poverty in the world, how can anyone justify spending so much money on a casket? Think of all the charities that could benefit from $381,000! To spend that much money, on yourdeadself, you would have to think of yourdeadself as a god... or King Tut... or a Magi.
Tell me, how do you feel about this?
