Quel prix pour ces diamants (What price for these diamonds)? A self-explanatory, distubingly powerful visual from Amnesty International, France. However, I think there also needs to be more attention drawn to something discussed before; the fact that there are now equally beautiful, 100% conflict-free synthetic/cultured diamonds available (with equal or better clarity ...

Retro-Hotties back those thangs up: 2006 Wiesmann Roadster & GT

1:26pm
Although German firm Wiesmann has been manufacturing its Roadster since 1993, the 2006 edition really hit the spot. The firm also introduced a new model line; the 2006 Wiesmann GT which is equally hot. The two-seater coupé debuted at the IAA 2005 in Frankfurt. As is customary with such über-exclusive babes, they use only the finest accoutrements including BMW knickers/underwear (engines). ...

Santa Fe based Stone Forest transforms natural found objects into functional sculpture for the home. As is evident in these examples, whether your taste runs from raw and natural, to ultra-modern with a touch of bling, or neo-classical with a touch of kitsch, they can hook you up. Just don't slip and fall near ...

Romanian clergy laid back like that

May 15th, 2006 10:03pm
As reported before, the air must be a bit different in Romania. This certainly bolsters the notion: Police in Romania say they have caught a thief who stole money from a priest's car while he was in a strip club. The 43-year-old priest was allegedly spotted by the thief in a club called No Problem in Suceava town, reports Evenimentul Zilei newspaper. Witnesses say ...

Not sure where this came from; Cadillac, a bodyshop, or a photoshop fiend...

It seemed a good idea at the time…

diamond-covered benz

But covering your Benz with a gajillion probably fake stones is really not going to elevate your pimp status; it'll just inspire strangers to come up to you and bitchsmack you for parading such blindingly ugly stuff.

The problem with rich people

May 4th, 2006 5:01pm
Is that they put their mouths where their asses are instead of putting their money where their mouths are.  Thus they tend to talk a lot of sh*t.  Why else would Bill Gates say its hard being rich?  Notice how you never hear back from such people after extending an offer to take their root-off-all-evil, burdensome wealth off their hands...
