Default $38,000 Versace dinner set for sale - Ebay and funny as hell..

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....Category=20640


while browsing i found this which had just been listed, its part of a liquidation sale from Waterford Wedgewood as it is now closed and everything is being sold off but check out the reasons for buying it..

[font=Times New Roman','serif]
[font=Times New Roman','serif]There are many reasons you might wish to purchase the 48-piece set of amazingly 24K gold dinner cutlery Versace flatware we recently came to possess through no fault of our own.

[/font]




[font=Times New Roman','serif]Perhaps you are an angry gay attorney with a lot of disposable income, desperately searching for a collection of cutlery to complement the glossy black dining table, blue sofa and neon waterfall in your tastelessly decorated domain.

[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]The gold Versace demitasse spoon suits any espresso, and would undoubtedly add a sophisticated accent to your endless bitching about the building staff and delivery menus left at your door. And, there are 6 of them. With great spoons come great friends, goes the saying. Your acquisition of gold Versace flatware could be the first step in acquiring a posse of mean-spirited dandies to love you for who you really are.[/font]

[font=Times New Roman','serif]

Perhaps you are a made member of a crime syndicate. You know quite well that your Cadillac Escalade assault SUV announces your class and stature to the general public on the roadways and sidewalks; but, did you know what announces that sameje ne sais quoi to your dinner guests?[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]

That's right. Just like a giant, inflatable rat alerts folks to a content non-union construction site, a 24k gold Versace sauce ladle tells folks you're the boss. Absolutely nothing adds more class to the timeless act of sauce relocation. Your friends and enemies alike will give you the respect you crave. And your family will know they made the right decision not having you "dealt with" last Easter when you were acting all sassy to a Capo.[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]

Overnight Hip-Hop success? Firstly, let me congratulate you on parlaying a fascination with vice, three gunshot wounds, and a history of felonies into a career. You know as I do that one must not only represent, but one must represent with style. Style is not just gold teeth, gold chains, gold rims and gold car antennas, my friend. Style is also gold Versace flatware.

The late-night recording sessions are draining, G. To keep pace and deliver more phat raps about whores and liquor, you're going to need sustenance. That sustenance is cake. And cake, my G, is best served with a gold-plated Versace cake server. What your entourage does with the remaining cutlery pieces is unimportant. What matters is getting your cake on with class.[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]

Please, someone, purchase this recently acquired gold Versace flatware set.[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]

By no means am I limiting purchase to angry gay lawyers, hoods or guys from 'hoods. Perhaps you're a self-made, middle-aged businessman suffering a mid-life crisis. You may have terminated your 32-year marriage, purchased a Ferrari, and spent three weeks in Costa Rica because of their laid back attitude about prostitution - but, at some point you're going to want to settle down again. When that time comes, you'll need to woo a trophy wife. Nothing woos a twenty-something opportunist quite like miso-glazed sea bass, Chalk Hill Chardonnay and two gold Versace fish knives. She'll be hanging on your arm before you can say "How much?"[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]

Please, I'm serious, purchase this recently acquired 48-piece gold-plated Versace flatware set.[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]

Finally, perhaps you are Donald Trump. Please, The Donald, take advantage of my not inexpensive, recently acquired, 48-piece gold Versace flatware set. I watched almost a half-hour of The Apprentice, and think you'll find the gold dessert forks great for picking up nougat.[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]

Will anyone purchase this recently acquired 48-piece gold-plated Versace flatware set?[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]

This flatware monstrosity once set someone back nearly fifty grand. If you think that's pretty amazing, you're not the only one. Although I encourage you to purchase it at a high price, it does not mean I will respect you for it.
[/font]


[font=Times New Roman','serif]All pieces feature the same Medusa logo that Versace uses to justify their $5,000 cufflinks.[/font][/font]
i can see this goin viral - if it does good job. Thats a hell of alot of money for spoons, forks and plates

I saw the original ad for this set, same asking price. Seems someone has entrusted in themselves to make a joke of it.
