Kind of says it all.

1. Well I've purchased Tiffany's jewelry on occasion

for my wife. Does that make me "the enemy"?

3. Yes.

Because you didn't go to Jared.

2. "popular demand" is a marketing gimmick. In fact the whole NM fantasy package is a marketing gimmic

I doubt they sell many if any of those. It is more about brand positioning.

4. The rich are getting richer. It is an absolute fact.

And..the poor ARE getting poorer.

5. Thank God their purchasing power has been preserved!

Heaven forbid anything take a bite out of the ability to buy the 1.5 million fantasy package!
