Was this wrong of Me? (imago edition)

Me and a friend of mine stopped by a gas station the other day.

It was one of those gas stations on the way to Pataya beach, which caters to foreigners and tourists.

While browsing one of the small, but surprisingly adequate CD shops, she came accross Prince's NEW POWER SOUL album, and asked me if she should purchase it.

"I've always wanted to get into Prince after seeing how much you appreciate him, " she said.

The CD price was 400 baht, which amounts to approximately 12 US dollars.

"Sure, " I said. "It's a terrific album. You should go ahead and purchase it."

Now, we all as orgers know that NEW POWER SOUL can be found at Target for 4.99 or less, and that the real value of the music on that album is around 50 cents. So she was paying astronomical prices for an album Kevin Trudoux couldn't figure out how to sell.

Was I wrong for doing this?

I mean, it's not like we stole gas or anything with a prepaid card. I don't wan't to end up in the "Bangkok Hilton" or anything.

But she's Thai. Compared to Thai pop music, she's going to think NPS is Mozart.

Am I still wrong?

No, it is not wrong. This is a classic case of caveat emptor - let the buyer beware. If your friend does not know the true value of that piece of shit, you are not responsible for her dumbfuckery. shrug

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Please argue with Threadcula on this thread then. Because it's sort of sexy in a soft-core porn kind of way when chicks do that on my threads.

God, the artwork on that album was atrocious, let alone some of the music.

I dig the little pic of him on this boot though LOL. Was that pic in the actual album somewhere?

He's like "come on then, punch me homeboy! I'ma going to out a spell on you" or whatever....

nod As a friend I wouldn't have let her buy it, unless she insisted and at that point, then it would had been on her.

I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

new power soul wasn't bad! I mean, it wasn't GREAT, but there were a few worthy tunes on it. Now if it were Planet Earth, I'd kick you in the nuts!
