Who wants to be? They are. In a country where 25% of the population lives below the poverty line, and the average monthly salary is $200 or less, they are having a fair.

The Millionaire Fair, the most famous luxury fair in Europe or so the organisers claim.

A saleswoman smiled broadly, for example, as she explained that a snow-white bedspread was, in fact, made from hundreds of dead Arctic foxes while young girls with supermodel looks enfurled themselves in expensive mink fur coats.....while the manufacturers of a gigantic seven-seater outdoor whirlpool bath had decided to lure in the punters by filling the tub with scantily clad, young blonde women.

  • Yes? Sounds like fun to me.
  • Eat the rich.
  • Maybe that's the idea. As soon as the fair's full, they closed the doors, change the sign utside to 'Free buffett, BYO pitchforks', and let all the poor in Moscow enter...
  • Hmmmm... I think I now know why Judith Miller changed her mind.
  • Hmmmmnnn yesss...stirfry, darling, would you be a lamb and bring me one of those individually deep-fried ladybugs on the bed of gold flakes with the Bolivian cocaine coulis? You'll be going right by their sample table if you're coming to join me in the bimbo-lined hot tub...
  • he explained that a snow-white bedspread was, in fact, made from hundreds of dead Arctic foxes Any real millionaire would have the bedspread made from LIVE foxes. Live, but really annoyed foxes.
  • meh, the most expensive thing there was a helicopter, and your average zillionaire can buy one those out of petty cash. I'd say any genuine rich person (as opposed to merely wealthy) wouldn't be seen dead at a show like this. I mean, where are the big honking yachts? The private jets?
  • mj? What are you doing here? I expected to see you outside sharpening the pitchforks and stirring the hot tar and rousing the masses (the poor ones). *gets in limo and heads to Playboyski Mansion*
  • "Eat the rich." posted by squidranch Just be sure to cook them fully, parasites you know. /opens closet, chooses pitchfork.
  • Black, white, or crunchy? /adjusts bib with 'The rich are tasy' slogan

  • Ya guys are a hoot! Buncha Bangladeshi rice farmers with the internets...eh what?
  • I prefer mine Stirfry!
  • heh....i'm poor eatin'
  • Eat the rich. Ewww! With the gamy leg?
