We can't
help but think the jewlers involved here could've found something a bit more snazzy to glue 260 diamonds and a platinum
plate to, but that's just us. This extra extra shiny edition of the
SLVR was recently shown at the Fresh Art
"Zoom" Exhibition, and sells for a mere 75 grand. It seems quite ironic that after spending enough money to
ice up a $75,000 version of the SLVR they couldn't manage more than cameraphone pics to promote it, but perhaps it's a
subversive method to make their product appeal to the everyman. Right.

Jungle-monkey rappers? Like Eminem? What does that even mean? Wait a minute... I get it! You're a mid-western rascist! My our comments both get removed for being innapropriate.

...its looks like something i made in 1st grade. the glue job looks very sloppy. not everything lines up perfectly and isn't spaced evenly. for $75k that thing better be perfect.

75K for the SLVR? No. Even with diamonds this phone does not compete very well. Although they did pick the appropriate phone in terms of looks, its the best looking phone in the American market at this time.
I'll have to agree with Jordan though, Paralysis, I sense a bit of tension and jealousy towards jungle monkey rappers that have money to spend on things. Let them spend their money however they want, and do you. If I made a few million a year 75k would be nothing, you can invest money and still have plenty of disposable income, that is why we call it disposable, its meant to be spent however you see fit.
Although I dont think he means Eminem, since I have not heard Eminem spending too crazily on jewelry, I think he may be speaking of G. Unit leader 50 Cent. Who in my mind is a marketing genious.

I believe he's referring to this rapper: Suge Knight
"Suge Knight Down To His Last $11?
Rap music mogul claims no monthly income, $137 million in debts"
