oh this screams creative lottery.

10 people @ $210 each with chance to split $30K ($3000)
inside draw among 10 people for book, ipod etc.
or we split the book (removing it's skin) and everyone gets a page; bet a silk page framed would look great.

How has he lied? I don't recall him saying anything recently with respect to being (or not being) a vegetarian or animal rights activist.

If people assume, that's on them. He is under no obligation to meet anyone's expectations.
[Edited 4/11/09 13:50pm]


come ON. you HAVE to know better than this. he has spoken for over a decade in interviews about being completely vegan. and according to him he hasn't eaten red meat since 1988.


Really? Show me one recent article in which he says this. Not one which someone says it about him - but one in which he actually says it himself. And don't throw up one from 1996 and try to pass it off as recent, please.

We're in the middle of an economic shitstorm, and a rich man is asking for $2000 for some tacky thing not even close to worth that much, with footage he should be giving to the people who paid the $77 for lotusflow3r.

To put this into perspective, I only make 5 times the cost of this Opus thing in a year

Not only that, but Little Miss Animal Kingdom has the damn thing made with silk and alligator skin.


This is some kind of bullshit, and people have every right to be pissed.

the rich man has every right to ask whatever price he seeks. the consumer has every right to let the item sit and gather dust. what's the problem? sounds like you caught a nasty case of that entitlement syndrome that's been going around.

so..."he should be" giving something to people who voluntarily joined his website? and why, might i ask, should he be doing anything? he has a history of jerking people around through his fan clubs (which is why he didn't get my 77 bucks for his shady web ideas) and even still, the perks of the club were laid out and you joined. nowhere did it say, and correct me if i'm wrong, that club members will be the only people privy to exclusive material. money talks, my friend.

as for your salary...that is neither prince's problem nor anyone else's. you're suggesting prince is selfish or greedy or whatever because he's rich and wants people to pay for a product. well, what would that make you? you somehow think you're entitled to cheaper goods simply because...you want them. hmmm...sounds a little greedy, selfish, or whatever to me. if you want to make more so that you can buy more, learn a more highly sought after trade which can bring in more money.

that's what prince did. and now he's charging 2100 for a silly book. a silly book that has a lot of silly people losing their silly minds.

I can't believe how serious you guys are taking this. lol It's so simple, either you will get it or you won't. Either you can afford or you can't. This won't make you any more or less of a fan will it? Please, it's not that serious at all. I'm not buying this but I don't feel ripped off. It's not for me. NEXT! I'm going to continue to enjoy my Lotusflow3r/MPLSound/Elixer CD's, thank you very much!

Prince Is Voted 'Sexiest Vegetarian'

(AP) Prince has been voted the "world's sexiest vegetarian" in PETA's annual online poll, the animal rights group announced Monday.

A strict vegan, Prince, 47, wrote in the liner notes of his 1999 album, "Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic," about the ills behind wool production. He closed the disc with a quote from Mohandas Gandhi: "2 my mind, the life of a lamb is no less precious than that of a human being."


Prince released his latest album, "3121," in March.

He shares the honor with Kristen Bell, the 25-year-old star of "Veronica Mars," which is being carried over from UPN to the new CW network this fall.

Bell, in a statement, said of her vegetarianism: "I had a hard time disassociating the animals I cuddled with — dogs and cats, for example — from the animals on my plate, and I never really cared for the taste of meat. I always loved my brussels sprouts!"

Runners-up in the poll, which PETA said Monday received more than 40,000 votes, include Natalie Portman, Nicollette Sheridan and Joaquin Phoenix.

Last year, Coldplay singer Chris Martin and "American Idol" Carrie Underwood were picked as the two "sexiest vegetarians." Other previous winners include Andre 3000, Tobey Maguire, Josh Hartnett, Alicia Silverstone, Lauren Bush and Shania Twain.


Don't even try any of that semantics bullshit either because we all know if anybody dared put anything on the internet that Prince deemed untrue, his "brilliant" lawyers would not have hesitated in bringing up a lawsuit! rolleyes

I don't have a problem with the Opus in principle. There's nothing wrong with limited edition items being offered for inflated prices. It could even turn out to be an investment, it's highly likely that you'd be able to sell it on for a profit within a short time.



There are people who buy this stuff even though they aren't fans of the person, but like the rarer collectible sets of different things.

This whole thing is a laugh to me. Maybe it's because I have a cold right now, I don't know but it's just funny and bizarre seeing the folks get bent out of shape over this. lol I know one thing, brotha needs his money! lol

i think he's insane (which i knew already), but i'm not mad at him! lol

lol that's EXACTLY how i feel...

now, if i knew how the private performance contest worked, i might suggest 50 orgers getting together and each throwing in 300 bucks towards the auction. if the "collective" wins the contest for $15k, those 50 get the private performance.

but somehow i'm sure that only works well on paper, lol


For $300 'I would seriously consider it' pimp2

I said specifically to post an article in which Prince said he was a vegan - not one in which someone else said it about him.

He didn't even come right out and dispute an article stating he was opposed to gay marriage (which he may or may not be) that made him look bad to many people. Why in the world would he dispute something that makes many people look favorably on him? He doesn't fight these battles in the press - something anyone who has followed his career for any length of time would know.

So rolleyes right back atcha.

Apparently, the stupid ass motherfucker who is selling this shit doesnt realize its a worldwide economic crisis, and that its real people out there who are wondering where their next meal is coming from or how theyre going to pay the rent or feed their kids, instead of paying 2,100 bucks for some overly-indulgent shit.. i hope for 2,100 dollars the person who sells this to me will suck my dick and let me hit from the back for that high ass price. they would have to hang around my house for a week and suck my dick whenever i asked for that high price.. i KNOW no one is twisting anyone's arm to buy something like this, but just the gall of someone trying to sell some shit like this in this ecomony is disrespectful to real people. and if Prince is behind this its not cool at all. 77 dollars for the website and now u wanna charge 2 grand, lolol like i said for 2 grand, u better have Bria Valente show up at my house butt ass naked ready to cook, clean and fuck for a week, make that 2 weeks

Geez, chill the fuck out. What people do with their money is their business, as long as they're not on the public's dollar.

So it's disrespectful for someone to sell someting that you consider frivolous and/or overpriced? People will be employed by the manufacture and sale of the items. But, I guess that's not ok in your book since it isn't something you think is worthwhile.
