This is about a Yahoo news article I've read titled Rich Kids of Instagram and, I've got to tell you, this is literally rubbing being rich in our faces.
Of course I think this only popular because people are curious of how the 1% of this world lives but it also causes people to become "wannabes" and envious.
I do like how this article points out the problem of these rich snobby kids being real risky of posting about their schedules so anybody can attempt to kidnap them for their "mommies and daddies" money.
Just take a look at this receipt:
The first ten items I have no clue about, but $20 for a Coca Cola? Wtf? What's the freaking difference between a $3 and a $20 Coca Cola? Does this mean that the rich elite's kids are stupid? I guess money can get you everything instead of an education or common sense huh?
Here's a quote from the article that I like as well:
Quote:
What to make of all this? The site has generated more than its share of scolding and class warfare on the web. Rebecca Greenfield writes in The Atlantic that "Preteens posing with helicopters they did nothing to earn and posting the pictures online for others to ogle provides an easy in for commentary on the state of the American dream. (Dead.)"
I like how Rebecca Greenfield says that. "Preteens posing with helicopters they did nothing to earn and posting the pictures online for others to ogle"
To be frank, that sort of pisses me off too. And any a-hole can read this thread and say "your just mad because your jealous that you don't have a helicopter".
No, I'm just mad cause I absolutely despise brats, ignorance, and snobbishness!
I could care less that some one is richer than me, it's the snobby attitude they adopt thinking their better than everyone else just because their loaded that upsets me...
Like I said before, too bad money doesn't buy you brains, decency, morals, or common sense.
So what do you think ? Would you agree with me on the above sentence?
$132,856.6544 ? Don't you mean $1,328,566,544 ? But still that's a lot of money for just one meal and I'd still like to know what's the difference between a $20 and a $2 Coca Cola though ?
@Yuji:
Did you know that if you give someone who's one of the %1 rich elite a $100 and told them they'd had to live off of it for a week, they'd probably dead within a few hours... Think about that guys :/
I know it's from St. Tropez, and I know where St. Tropez is, and I know the USD-Euro conversion rate. That wasn't the point I was trying to make. It would take me over nine years to earn the equivalent of what those filthy, filthy rich kids spent on a single meal. There's a sobering thought!
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Different types who wear a day coat, pants with stripes
and cutaway coat, perfect fits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Dressed up like a million dollar trouper
Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper (super duper)
Come let's mix where Rockefellers walk with sticks
or "umberellas" in their mitts,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Have you seen the well-to-do up and down Park Avenue
On that famous thoroughfare with their noses in the air
High hats and Arrow collars white spats and lots of dollars
Spending every dime for a wonderful time
If you're blue and you don't know where to go to
why don't you go where fashion sits,
Puttin' on the ritz.
Puttin' on the ritz.
Puttin' on the ritz.
That is idiotic. If that were my kid, he or she would be eating balogna sandwiches for a month, at least. Then they would be off to work in the soup kitchen.
I don't understand why someone would let their kid have access to that kind of cash. Stupid.

Well okay, maybe that was bit of a harsh and a distasteful thing to say... Not to mention surreal...
But the point was the person wouldn't know how to survive on his/her own since he/she had to have everything handed down to him/her... Is this the kind of irresponsible people who secretly runs the world ? :/
What would happen in the worst case scenario ? If the world went to hell and the rich are suppose to live on their own would they know how to ?
