Opulence, I has it.

the details in the ads are great, notice he has the (purportedly) original van gogh's 'starry night' on an easel. i couldn't figure out the athletes in the golden framed photo yet

He's a mob boss, and stole the painting. The athletes in the frame are I think players from a world cup team that won.

I loves the commercial so hard. Though, him eating a gold coated grape was kind of disturbing.


Plus, his supermodel plaything must have like superhuman strength. She's got 6 gold ingots (stamped with 1942 on them, so Nazi gold?) on that tray. A gold ingot is 400 troy ounces, so that's what, 160lbs or so?

Um, okay. I'd rather have a 2011 Infiniti M56, but to each his own I guess.

He's got 12 of those that he uses as toilets. Get it now? Excess is the message you are missing.

About 165. But who's counting?

That's not a problem. Gold is biologically inert.

I missed the mint stamping, but caught the same thought with the gold busts that he had to decide between.

I want those girls for my bodyguards too.

Oh, and don't forget the remote.

His TV is even in a gold frame...

Actually he owns the New Jersey Nets, according to:

Grey New York and director Tim Godsa filled this "Opulence" DirecTV spot with awesome subtle details, like the actual dogs playing poker (one of whom has an ace in his paw) and what appears to be a Van Gogh on an easel behind couch. And there's the miniature giraffe, of course, which is so cute we'll forgive the otherwise unpardonable sin of Twilight playing on his TV. The best part is the song clip at the end, though; it's a Russian folk song called "Korobeiniki," better known over here as the Tetris theme.
