Have you been in any modern art galleries lately? People pay a lot of money for those dropcloths I mean paintings, the gallery owners have quite a profitable racket I mean business going there. Pretty smart I'd say, fleecing I mean selling to those that flaunt their 'individuality' While the Mac isn't as expensive as a car, or a ugly statue, there's echos of the same physological trickery going on there.
