7 Great Products For Telling The World You're A Rich Jerk

Cracked.com:

The thing about being super rich is that you eventually run out of things to buy. You can only live in so many houses, or drive so many cars, or pay to have so many enemies killed.

Fortunately, before you ever get so desperate as to, say, give money to the poor, there is a whole industry devoted to inventing ridiculous things to waste it on.

The article forgot to list "jerks" who plowed a Bugatti in a marsh in such states as TX.

[RoadSkoller]

Why do you refer to the rich as jerks when 99.9% of Hollywood supports Obama and liberal causes? I guess you're right, those folks are jerks.

[tiredofthesameoldstuff]

Hollywood isn't liberal at all.

And bears don't sh@t in the woods...

Several women have pointed out that a man with impeccably manicured fingernails is invariably an ass.

NEW RULE: Nobody can be a millionaire. The most any one person can have is $999,999. Any other profit he makes goes directly to the poor.

now that's a GREAT law. nobody needs to be a millionaire.

[Suggie]

Dems would hate you. There are more Dem millionaires in Congress than Rep millionaires.

[tiredofthesameoldstuff]

False. False. False. Far more Republicans are millionaries then Democrats.

What about draft deferments? Cheney was rich enough to have five of them.

The car wash was the one that stood out to me as the most ridiculous one.
The other ones are just kind of dumb.
I know an attorney that used to live in Chicago and he bought and sold parking spots there.
I thought he was crazy and or lying when he told me people would pay about $50,000 for a parking spot.
I guess he was not.

[tiredofthesameoldstuff]

If they can afford to pay 50,000 for a parking spot they can hire a full time driver to pick them up at certain times. It would be far cheaper to have a full time dedicated taxi at their beck and call.

MTV has a great show for watching what the idle rich need to keep themselves from ever having to be bored. http://www.suburbanemprie.com Unreality Television, and the energy wasting toys of America's upwardly mobile..... money isn't all they waste..... they waste our collective future.

[Lulubelle1]

You don't have to go so far as the items mentioned in the Cracked article to be a rich, pretentious d0u che.

[NickCatal]

Wow... Huffpost actually linked to a Cracked.com article instead of just poorly copying the idea

[groucho]

Well I guess some doctors are making it in that socialist health care system Great Britain has. Too bad this will never be common knowledge.

[tiredofthesameoldstuff]

Yeah they earn as much as American doctors despite being paid less since they often fess up to malpratice claims (hence the insurance is a lot less since they don't have to be taken to court), doctors that do several incidents lose their license, they don't have student loans to pay back. Medical school is paid by the gov't.

[GrownupStewie]

if you read the list the only thing not awful is the cool tree house...but a half a million dollar dog house? 300k for a parking spot? or 2.75 million for the phone number of 666-6666 is just douchey

Like Larry Ellison, who breaks local ordinances with his jet when he lands at SJC. His jet is louder than what the city allows after sunset. He brushes aside the puny fine in exchange for landing at night. Not to mention giving the people who live nearby the finger.

Poor people are better? They'll spend any money on,

26 inch Rims
Video games
Night Train
Beer cup holder hat
Money for huge texting bill.
Natural Light
Gambling
Football Jerseys

[IndelibleVoice]

Think you mean the few middle class consumers left... not the truly poor! I've never noticed families living in tent cities sporting beer cup holder hats and sparkling new jerseys...

[colinmeister]

What's the big deal? Most of these rich dicks paid workers to produce the items they paid over the top for.

[deluk]

a conscience a la Bono and a butler like Sting.

[Ergon]

Bono is a poser who left Ireland to avoid paying income taxes, but encourages every one else to do their share.

[deluk]

Yes, beware of anybody who rechristens themselves with a short snappy moniker.
