I'm all for things like this.
Things that take money from people who would pay 60 dollars for a sharpened pencil.
When people are fucking starving to death.

This is how I feel about any game show with a money prize - and they're usually filthily large money prizes. It really truly sickens me, and I'm not often sickened (which means I need to get out more).
Nah, I'm not bitter. I'm actually contented by the way overentitled suckers fritter away their money on things like this.
If you can afford sixty bills for a plain old pencil, you're probably well out of range of my sympathies.

Your range of hate should be far wider than your range of compassion. ;)
Naturally. :)
Wait, was that a suggestion or an observation?
(...And if you were thinking about going "Both! :D", spare me.)

Suggestion, since you seemed to be lumping hate and compassion together as "sympathies".
N-no?
Where?
Nevermind, doesn't matter. I think you know what I mean, and are misinterpreting me in some kind of attempt at banter.

You said you weren't bitter, because they were out of your range of sympathies. I reckon they should be IN your bitterness range, even if out of your compassion range. Make sense?
I agree, doesn't matter. But I wanna make myself clear.
Anyway, the point is some people have lots of money and don't do nice or practical things with it. :p
......
WOW
All this time that I have been sharpening my pencils by hand I have been missing out on fleecing idiots.

The 60 dollars comes with a print. Just the pencil is
only 15 bucks...
