Seriously, people?


This Monet was just sold for 80.4 million dollars.

It's a friggin watercolor Lily pond. Leia the wunderdog could paint that shit with her left paw and her ears over her eyes. In fact, those white splotches on the painting? Those are exactly the shape her paw prints leave on the kitchen floor when she comes in from the rain. What makes this an 80 million dollar masterpiece?? Do you know what 80 million dollars would buy?

133,300 Marc Jacobs bags

13,333,333 Extra value meals at Mickey D's

33,898 grande cappuccinos at Starbucks

200,000 months worth of Cobra health insurance for healthy young females

5.3 sets of Jolie - Pitt baby pics

800,000 tickets to see Pearl Jam

266,666 Ethiopian children could be fed for a year

Or, you could buy a lame, boring (and quite frankly, tacky) picture of flowers - that you'll have to pay almost as much to insure, hire bodyguards and install a security system to protect, and it won't give you any more pleasure than looking that shit up on kvetchette.com and seeing a picture of the thing. Losers.
