Remember the days when grief and sadness were sombre and deeply personal emotions?
Well such times are well and truly over. Amidst unsavoury claims that certain charlatans can speak for a murdered animal, the industry around Cecil the Lion’s cruel death is ramping up big time.
Perhaps the most vulgar and garish ‘tribute’ currently available to showy mourners is a 24-carat gold-plated smart phone. That’s right – for only £1,580, you can let the world know you’re an ostentatious look-at-me w*nker.
Goldgenie are selling the ‘limited edition’ 24K Gold HTC ONE M9, with an engraved image of the beast and a message reading: ‘For Cecil and his Kingdom’. Classy.
It comes in a luxury cherry oak finish box and although 10% of the proceeds go to charity, we’d perhaps suggest you save your money and give a whole lot more directly to charitable organisations instead.
