Would you pay 11million for a bra and panties |
|
Just got my Victoria Secrets Catalog.
Yes folks- Abra and panties made entirely of diamonds. Would that make it a bit uncomfortable to sit down.
All I can say is :wtf:

1. I was just about to ask - are they encrusted in gemstones?? |
|
But I don't think that whomever wears these items will be sitting much.

If I had access to $11 million, I'd find something better to spend it on.
Wait a second...YOUR Victoria's Secret catalog? I applaud you for not saying it was your wife's. Honesty is best, you know! :D

4. It depends who was wearing them. |
|
If it was Halle Berry, I'd scrape up the money somehow.

10. 11 million dollar panties are an insult to the worlds poor. |
|
I find it offensive. It's a slap in the face to the worlds hungry, poor and sick.
Shame of Victorias secret.

Without the demand for such goofy crap, there would be fewer jobs. Mining, cutting, selling, buying, reselling, designing, marketing, protecting... on and on. Without those jobs, there would be more for that 11 mil to feed.
The biggest problem is that the item may not be labor intensive, or labor efficient. Maybe that 11 million would create more jobs and wealth for more people if it were applied directly to food, agriculture or housing. But, then you might not get some Ben Afflek kind of person to spend the 11 million on creating jobs. He might just sit on it instead of buying his way out of a mess. Then the money goes nowhere, helps no one. VS is freeing the money from its cage so it can rain bounty upon the Earth. (uh, sorry for the lousy poetic image-- sounds more like bird droppings.)
As long as wealth circulates, it helps. When it stagnates or turns into stock market games, it is less useful. In a capitalist world-- and like it or not it is-- selling even useless crap means jobs.

paying $11 mil for a bra and panties would mean I'd have more money than sense. :crazy:
It's a publicity stunt for VS. I guess it worked. Did they outdo the Nieman Marcus catalogue for sheer mendacity this year?

12. I flatly refuse to wear women's undergarments... |
|
that get caught in my (plentiful) backhair.
Call me a barbarian, but I refuse to be a slave to fashion. I firmly believe that comfort comes first, and, besides, I seriously doubt they make them in my size.

14. If a bra was comfortable and fit perfectly - hell, yes |
|
I wouldn't care if it was made of diamonds.
But a perfectly-fitting and comfortable bra is a physical impossibility.

Only a disgusting show-off would spend more than 8 million.

But then again, I'm a guy so I don't wear them.
Really. I don't. Why are you looking at me that way?
