Are the DeBeers part the ebay/NNN conspiracy, hmm.....


WARNING :!: THIS IS A DERAIL

YES Diamonds are part of the conspiracy. Essentially worthless unless you are trying to cut through rock. Diamonds were valuable when they were alluvial but then they found the S. African mother lode. Now they buy all diamonds not coming from DeBe:er's mines or pay thugs to kill illegal salesman. Hollywood was instrumental in foisting the diamond lust upon the populace with Marilyn Monroe. Movie stars were given free diamonds. Heck the Queen of England never had any diamonds in the crown jewels until they gave them to her as a promotion. Peer pressure is the most effective means of mind control.Can I get an Amen, Girlfriend?

would make another cool omake if nothing else that way its free!

its his game so its his position to do as he will tho honestly i can
see nothing wrong with NNN doing an open edition blank to really
let ordinary folks around the world enjoy them and at the same
time still do microruns to provide sofuvi fiends dope versions..

i wish the same for Bemon figures, they are too cool to repress
though i am not advocating mass production by any means. if
runs were offered via preorder of just blanks it would be great
yet still remain underground compared to mass production.

i think this would curb the over a $K purchase culture maybe not.

Theres a great documentary about the whole scam, i think it was shown on PBS Frontline. The De Beers Monopoly, the Diamonds are Forever campaign, the end of diamond rarity once we figured out how to find them through kimberlite chimneys etc...

I repeat emeralds are the shit, a down payment on a house and a nice trip ( like an african safari or trekking in Bhutan) are even better !

P.S. Who Kozik ?

I have to say, the header art makes the whole package complete. So much work and badass'ery gone into those releases and headers. Love it.

Don't you get it yet? If it's popular it's crap, that's the way it is! I've gotta go back to watching "Shasta McNasty" that show was ahead of it's time, all of these bullshit popular shows like "Arrested Development" that everyone likes are all hype, I hate hype, fuck that shit!
