designer capitalism

another headline caught my attention: “New York : un hôtel propose un « Martini on the rock » un peu spécial pour la somme de 10000$”. yes, that is right, $10,000 for one cocktail. well, the catch is that this special martini comes with a diamond in it. i picture it being quite a delicious task to actually drink the aforementioned martini without swallowing the diamond. well, apparently there are people who are willing to pay such an enormous sum for a drink. as if the allergy-free cat and the JFK assassination game weren’t already enough! where the hell does tv5 get these weird headlines from?

    Every thing is possible with the americans. They will never stop to surprise us. BUt i love a good Dry Martini, but does the diamond really worth it, or is it just a flashing thing …uhm…
