They would be better off buying a body guard than the heavy bag.
??????????
Asprey leather chessboard ?????????
Looked like SCRABBLE to me.
Damn those Chinks ARE clever!
'bama plays Checkers.
Putin plays Chess.
And the Chinese play Chess on a SCRABBLE board. How the hell do you compete with that?
"Checkmate" is nine letters. Don't make the word "Check" in case your opponent can make "Mate". Your only hope would be if he only had the letters to make "Stale".
You gotta hope you get the letters, eg, "heckmat" and there is a convenient appropriately space "C" and "e" already on the board.
Forgot "penis enhancements..."
That's a punching bag, Tyler.
AKA a heavy bag. Those must be filled with stacks of fiat.
Kwyjibo
Obscure Simpsons reference for the win!
Dorce shades FTW
SCLABBLE bitchez!
SCLABBRE
The mere fact that such products are designed for the ultra rich, and the apparent fact that the rich actually want them, should tell the working middle classes everything they need to know about these people who rule them.
Man u guys got me rolling this morning. SCLABBRE!?! fucking hilarious!!
What does it mean, that Tyler cannot tell a scrabbleboard from a chessboard? Makes me worry about the accuracy of all the other ZH info I've been absorbing.
What if gold really is good only for making a shiny boat anchor?
If it makes you that depressed then I suggest you stay away from any shitgums.
Chinese use Toothbrushes?
Larry, Sorry to bring you the news. We, chinks, invented toilet paper. Without us, you would still wipe your ass with your left hand just like your ancestors did.
That made me laugh! Thanks! +1
Yeah but none of this compares with a gold plated tungsten butt plug from Goldman Sachs.
Free XL upgrade if you borrow now!
well, how about a gold plated bankers head on a plate?
What the hell ever happened to good old fashioned gold plated chopsticks? Let's keep it real guys.
Butt plugs are handy. Saves you from a worse screwing.
What happened to all intellectual comments that intrigued me to be an avid reader of zero hedge for many years? Comments were spot on, factual, poignant, hysterical, and thought provoking to say the least.
I was hooked from day one with great articles on HFT, trader insight, factual economic news and witty comments that were as good if not better then the article. I almost couldn’t wait every morning to find out the latest financial conspiracy by zero hedge that was going to become proven fact. Now I pretty much just read the articles throughout the day. I can almost tell you what the comments are going to be after every article now without even reading them. Lets start with the low IQ, little to no input, just to be a follower comments that we have to scroll through just to get to the few worth reading.
F--K Ben/ is now.. F—K Yellen
You can keep your insurance/ You didn’t build that/ is now, We blanked some folks.
Gold biatches and keep stacking,
Russian worshipers with keyboard warriors.
Preppers and doom and gloomers
USSA
Bankers are so evil and smart they controls the world.
Well the F—K Ben was funny for about two days. We all know all politicians lie.
Now for the gold and silver stackers. Unless you’re a coin collector or have around 5% of your total assets in metal in hand. Well, you got smoke assed in that trade over the last few years. So don’t quit your day job. Too many of you were backing the truck up with gold at 1500 and silver around 27. Maybe you should take over Jim Crammer’s job. It will keep going lower because you aren’t in the club.
The lost souls of the white night from the east. As bad as our political system is you would hate the day he would be calling all the shots of the free world. War with Russia would last about three weeks to a month. Why, because the corruption and lack of leadership will crumble with just a few well placed missiles. Forget Nukes only America has the balls to drop them on your head. Only two things America is good at and that’s running up debt and war. We have plenty of practice and god forbid you get the American people behind any type of war. It won’t be WW3, it will be the super bowl featuring Kim Kardasians ass special guest dancing Danny Terrio. War with the USA. You must be stuck on stupid.
Preppers and doomer, go back to infowars. It’s more your speed.
USSA, you don’t like it. Do something about it. Get involved. Some of you might even find your calling. Create a blog, start awareness, help a neighbor. You have enough time since you spend all day posting the same thing about police state USSA.
Now for my favorite, the banker’s, how smart they are and they control the world. Really. Well here is a thought. If these idiots are so smart and cunning. tell me how experts in the financial world in the own area of expertise couldn’t even organize one document to save there asses with the mortgages. They couldn’t spell original document with a legal debtors signature on it. These guys don’t know an ass from an elbow. Rigging markets, bribing officials, front running clients, and insider trading they have down. But stop giving these bankers so much credit, Even the low IQ folks on Zero Hedge have more complex and original thought.
@polocko
do shut up
"Pantha rei", man. Everything flows. The intrigueing comments come in waves over time. Just that there are few of them at the moment doesn't mean anything. Me, for example, I am working so much at the moment, that I simply got not as much time to comment on ZH as I had last year. I am with you others, nonetheless. (And just to let you others know: I do productive work - building roofs) You just keep patient, the comments you miss will emerge again.
"...intrigued me to be an avid reader of ZH for many years..."
Really 'Polocko'? and how does one achieve that with an account that has existed for1 week and 3 days at time of writing.
"What happened to all intellectual comments?"
How about: WE TOLD SOME TROLLS TO FUCK OFF.
Or: IF YOU WANT SOME ABUSE, YOU CAN KEEP SOME ABUSE.
Cerebral enough for you o'mighty brainiac?
When you don't post for many years your account gets deleted. I was brokenclock many years ago.
Credible, pithy comment on a puff peice.
Three thumbs up.
If you're going to be pithy, you have to enunthiate. Otherwithe everyone will think you have a lithp.
I'm only going to comment on the mortgage thing.
It wasn't an accident.
Consider this.
Claiming ignorance is very useful when a plaintiff has to prove knowledge and intent.
Yikes, dude, you need more fiber - a LOT more!
Epic whine post.
Please post more often.
+1
seriously, wtf you guys do for living? sometimes i can hardly find time to read the headlines.
some of you seem to be full time commenters on zh.
...no sense of humor... must be a democrap
You forgot to mention all the Jew Zionist plots for taking over the world. Goldman--Does that sound like an Ango-Saxon name to you?
You are correct, to some extent - trick is to avoid reading the obviously stupid, but in this case, the absurdity kind of lends itself to ridicule.
Shoe laces...brilliant...I can stop using the hem of my dress!
The laces are for hunting practice. Think of the number of times they will be accosted for their laces. They will get to see how many utes they can gun down with one shot. hmmmm wonder what their Louis Vuitton shooter looks like?
Put'em on a pair of Air Jordans and see what happens.
"Gimme those Air Jordans, and take off those faggot laces before you hand them over!"
perceptive
See that guy over there with a couple of gold teeth ? I think he's interested in having a "conversation" with you about those gold-laced Air Jordans.
gee, they want all the good stuff from the West... color me surprised
Always heard how westerners were materialistic, but when you see this, or when you see arab cities with satellite dishes on every window of the peasants apartment bldgs, or them, or africans with cellphones and cheap, knock-off designer clothing, I realize... just more lies I was told...by the statists.
Actually, IMO, it proves the power of advertising/propaganda turning everyone into a "consumer" and breaking down cultures. Others may have noticed in world wide travels over the last 20 years how uniform shops and brands are becoming everywhere... from Vietnam to Uruguay Maggie 2min Noodles are for sale as are iCrap, etc. My guess is those satellite dishes bringing teevee has a lot to with accelerating the Tavistock dream.
Alan Watt talks about the advent of teevee in the UK in his youth and how it transformed his town from a community that went to the park to chat & picnic on the weekends, into a-stay-at-home bunch of teevee watchers accelerated by the UK govts efforts to push teevees into every home. Bingo. Mr Watts community became a consumer population guided by their teevee.
innovation=priceless
What no Chinese crap?
The envy of Chinese Citizenism citizens everywhere: a portable platinum roadside bidet.
They have come so far from the "iron rice bowl". Funny what a little free market capitalism can do. Of course some are still base jumping from the fifth floor at Foxconn.... No nets at the Goldman Sachs headquarters building.
Free Market Capitalism - a mythical creature.
Talked about a lot, though.
Only the criminal elements of society went these kind of items.
Saw a quote recently, can't remember who, along the lines of 'when I fly first class, I want to know that my friends are in economy' - shows the mentality of the greedy bastards running the place.
In a free market capitalist transaction, if you don't know who the patsy is then you're the patsy.
I wonder how many man-servants got the shit beat out of them for delivering a leather scrabble board instead of the requested Chess board. Chinese billionaires do have man-servants, no........?
That wine service set is just plain.... gay.
America's future in Space Travel is gay?
That is a model of the planned Heavy Lift rocket...with a 100mT capability to Low Earth Orbit.
It will never fly as we will become bankrupt before then.
So why not drink from it?
There will be no American Asteroid Expedition or Mars Expedition.
If that's what it looks like, I say yes, America's future in space travel is gay.
.
Light in the loafers at the very least.
I don't know,I kind of like it. Watcha doing later Knucks wink wink.
That would be our Secretary of State.
They own him.
( Don't screw with the campaign contributors there, Seabiscuit! )
Anyone who actually buys the Louis V heavy bag should have their address sent to Mike Tyson so he can personally go to their house and beat the shit out of them.
The leather scrabble game is awesome. Those chinese really know how to party.
How many points is "rehypothecate"?
Infinity
The lable says "chessboard" yet the picture is of scrabble. Must be Putin's.
I put in a comment above, 5595192.
Must-have accessory for anyone who already owns a shitgum.
175K for a punching bag seems reasonable to me.
It's filled with nickels. Ask Kyle Bass.
Considering the trillions that the Chinese crony cast has stolen over the past few decades it may make good sense for them to buy those sandbags by the truckload to build a redoubt. The coming revolution in China may kill a few hundred million there.
Or better yet they will do like afew million other Chinese have done and purchase property in Australia, NZ, Canada, US etc to flee to.
Hell no round eyes!
We no talk to 'mericans about overthrow of overlords.
You no keep secrets good.
Less it get better market score than Kardasians, you keep it then.
Or, they could just take in this exhibit and feel just as special:
"Visitors are invited to lie in a series of four silver metal boxes similar to those found in a morgue.
The boxes, which are pitch-dark inside, are rigged with pipes leading to bottles containing pressurised smells.
A soundtrack is played and different scents are released into the box to recreate a specific 'final moment'.
For about five minutes, visitors can relive the smells and sounds believed to have surrounded four people whose deaths are etched into the world's collective memory: Kennedy, Diana, Princess of Wales, Muammar Gaddafi and Houston."

Before next December they will get pitchfork enemas whether the reside in San Jose or Bejing.
Enjoy that bling while it lasts.
In the good old days of the cultural revolution the Communists would have tied them up put a sign around their neck and parade them through town before they stoned them, hung them on a tree or put a bullet in the back of their head
You now see the results of what those filthy globalist money conjurers have on even the staunchest politically aligned hyprocrites on the planet
It's friggin ironic how The World Turns, ain't it? People in HK now call the Communist Party, the "Billionaires' Club."
I am SOOOOooooo SICK AND TIRED of you ZH PAUPERS crying about what my friends and I buy!
I would've thought an air purifier, water purifier and food test kit would be numero uno on their list.
Damn, I miss Anonamouse. I just hope he's helping the N Koreans hack the Cannes Film Festival this year.
The image of the Stars and Stripes on the wine set seems very apropos.
"The flag should never be displayed with the union down, except as a signal of dire distress..."
Dith Luith Vuitton thandbag ith thor fuckin faggoth.
-Mike Tyson
Actually most of it seems to be crap.
Hehe and how many times do you think a chinese billionaire would be botherd to hit that louise vuitton bag until he feels that weird thing called tiredness which he never experienced before and then puts that aweful bag away for good?
More santa hookers and blow for next x-mas.
I like this post.
Where Asia's nouveau riche stash their money :
http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/dec/26/londoners-miss-out-as-for...
London Town now is the HUB of global capitalism's new elite.
Boris Johnson, the Man at the Dorchester , who opens to them the revolving doors of crony capitalism.
Good place to die if rich. Good place to cry if poor.
There's nothing wrong with any of these things. People were creatively fulfilled in designing them; people were employed in manufacturing, marketing and distributing them; and presumably the people who own these things will enjoy them. Not everyone who can afford these things is guilty of some great evil (and in an environment of general corruption, the choice is often whether to pay the price of admission, make things and employ people, or to stay home). If you feel envy and disgust at people who are living the high life, you need look no further than your own attitude to explain why you are not among them.
Except that "envy" and "disgust" are two different things entirely.
Often one is a mask for the other.
Should there be limits on the degree of abundance an individual can or should enjoy?
Why?
And who decides?
Look at the manner in which you live: running water, flush toilets, enough to eat, finely made clothing, access to tools, information and expert advice, as well as a glut of entertainment. For most of the world, your own wealth is unimaginable, even if you are living on food stamps and welfare. On what basis do you begrudge your neighbor a hand-crafted or diamond-set thing-a-mabob, or a fast car, or a boat? Are they harming others by having these things, or are they further employing others to make them, after probably profiting by employing masses to make some other product that fulfills some human need or desire?
I don't think we're talking about aesthetics here. So what is it, but envy?
Blah blah blah Job Creators blah blah.
Mainland Chinese values are excrement. Materialism and excess, sans conscience or ethics.
Western bankers have discipled them well.
If I was a billionaire, apart from the leather Scrabble board, I wouldn't buy any of it... Most of it looks really quite tasteless and as though high-end product makers are running out of ideas.
I would however, like a manual golf trolley to exactly match my 458 Ferrari Speciale - with the same alloys but in miniature and a nice deep red frame, just to wind-up my mates, but obviously won't be changing my Pings anytime soon!
Addendum:
Ponder the irony of a story featuring China's Nouveau Riche with a banner ad above it reading, "date an Asian Lady!"
Can one of you witty gentlemen please give me a suitable punch line for this scene?
If she's good lookin, gives head, and does it well, tell her she has a date.
Fuck Ebola , give some of that Yellow fever Bitchez
The days of "MOAR" are numbered
It's a big club and you ain't in it BITCHEZ
And they use the money they have stored offshore...

Interesting how a lot of these items are made from that barbarous relic that we're not supposed to own.
http://www.reinast.com/buy
Reinast Toothbrush - starting from 4, 200 USD
If I'd stopped brushing my teeth, I could buy myself a new car (made in China:)
not as fancy as my ultra-mega-giga-hyper-super toothbrush, but still a car that runs in perfect weather conditions and even looks surprisingly similar to BMW or AUDI...
Hey but they'll send FREE brush refills; 5 every 6 mos - at least until WW3 starts, and then you can use it to stab your help in the eyes when they come for your head.
You forgot the $675 Louboutin NAIL POLISH.
http://www.sephora.com/starlight-P391707
And there's actually an entire perfume line dedicated to Russian/Chinese oligarchs; "Xerjoff" http://www.xerjoff.com/1717_quartz.php. You can order bottles carved from rare quartz or solid lapis lazuli with 18K gold and ruby accents, on ebony bases. Bond No 9 perfume, in spite of their ridic and costly example above, is gauche even to minor billionaires.
Some could use some copper in their warehouses i think...
I never did fit in with the other wealthy people - luxury items never appealed to me, I always preferred eager hot trim fit tight babes and endless bj's, wilderness adventure trips, sportfishing & SCUBA diving the best places on earth, etc but that's just weird different me.
So I assume you're doing that sportfishing and scuba thing from your wooden canoe, right? Trekking on foot to your wilderness destinations as well? ;-)
What nonsense are you spouting ?
You obviously do not know how many fishing & diving boats I have, or how many adventure, fishing & diving trips I have taken worldwide.
Did you have a point ????
Really surprised there isn't somekind of endangered plant/animal part (e.g., black rhino penis) that is dried and ground up as the ultimate male fertility/virtuality solution with a price in the thousands per ounce. Always fascinating to go into a true Chinese medicinal shop in SF or NYC to see what funky and weird shit they have.
Cool! I'll look for that stuff in the Skymall mag on my next trip from Chicago to Boston. It's really the only reason I fly. Well, that and the airport food.
To bad you can't buy taste. Or a brain.
Chinese don't really play chess they play "Go".
... on a Sclabbre boald ...
POST LEGAL ERA....
"Dolce and Gabbana Gold Sunglasses with 24kt diamond..."
Uh, nothing is made with 24kt (pure gold) as it's way too soft.
Do they mean 24ct diamonds? That would be 24 carats or 24 x 0.2 grams = 2.4 grams of inlaid diamonds. If so it needs to be 24ct.
At that price at least get the name of the item correct.
Last night while I was sleeping the dog ate one of my shoelaces. Luckilly it was only a pair of Rockports.
The rich buyers get a credit card bill in January
