How to tell you have too much money

Posted on May 22, 2004 Written by Diane

According to the Wired article:

The ultimate iPod accessory is Fendi’s Juke Box, a $1,500 carrying case for transporting multiple iPods.

That’s right: multiple iPods.

The bag, unveiled by the Italian fashion house at a catwalk show in Milan, is a rectangular gilded purse about the size of a bread bin. It is lined with multicolored cloth and incorporates a pocket for holding up to a dozen iPods.

Okay, this is just tragic. A sign of the Apocalypse. And you know what’s even sadder? I can imagine a lot of people saying, “Oh, that sounds like a good idea. I’ll go pick one up.”

These are people with a heck of lot of money. These are the same people who bought the titanium Maclaren stroller with the leather seat (at $2500 a pop) because it looked cool (my local Right Start sold out of theirs). Clearly these were people who have never had a kid in a stroller because they get, you know, messy. But then you just have someone else clean it up, I guess.

All I can say is: get a hobby. Or give the money to a worthy cause, like Coffee Kids. Sheesh.
