Wow! I'll bet they have all the cook Barbie cars, too.

Couldn't they have bought another kid from a third world country for less than $80k? ;)

P.S. Brad? You're closing in on fifty pretty darn fast, Buddy. Gonna ever marry the mother of your children?

Richard Gere’s gerbils must be so jealous.

[Luigi Vasellini]

Insert Richard Gere joke here

[Buck W.]

Richard Gere is looking for an invitation.

[RichInOC]

They don’t last long enough.

[Man50D]

Now I wish I had Gerbils when I was a kid.

[armymarinemom]

LOL! That’ll teach me to eat while reading FR>

[Diana in Wisconsin]

We did. They stink and they bite!

[Cyber Liberty]

Heheheheheh...you said “insert”...heheheheheheheh.

[Man50D]

We did. They stink and they bite!

Show me the money!!!!

[antidemoncrat]

It is good to be in the ruling class!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

We kept them in cages in the basement...not in $80K condos, LOL!

See, and people freak out and how much pharmaceutical companies make. I always say, what about Hollywood actors? they make waaaaaaaaay too much money and as we can see by this example they're stupid and don't add anything to society or the world. I think there should be caps on the salaries paid by this numskulls.This guy wins the genetic lottery and look what he gets? At least make it more 'fair' and keep his salary lower.

RIMMER: ...I had a pet lemming once. I loved that little lemming. I built him a little wall so he could hurl himself over it. He didn’t want for anything. I’ll never forget one Christmas I put my finger in his cage to give him some mince pie. He bit me! He sunk his teeth right into my fingers and wouldn’t let go. In the end I had to smash his brains out against the wall. That little lemming broke my heart. The little git completely ruined my helicopter wallpaper.

w...w...Wh...What...WHAT????

[RummyChick]

I don’t have a problem with it. It’s America. He made the money. Let him spend it however he wants.

He does try to do good things. Yes, I know he is a lib.

But it’s capitalism, baby....

[Yaelle]

Think of it this way: one gerbil-run seller has been made very happy because Brad Pitt came into his store! How lucky is that guy??

Look, whatever service you have or product you sell, you’d THRILL the morning Brad Pitt came in to buy $80K of it.

[GeronL]

haha

Hold on their, guy. Don't encourage the class-warfare talk. There's nothing wrong with getting rich in America, as long as you do it a) legally and b) not with taxpayer money.

I hope Brad Pitt is man enough to admit as much and I urge you to be, too.

I always wanted to make a walk in gerbil room, where the maze of tunnels and stuff would encompass most of the room with a walkway for the people. Over and above the expense the full time cleaning job made me balk, pretty much every day you’d have to clean part of it. Wanted to do the same thing with aquariums too.
