I've mentioned my theory of Khaleeji Consumption Disorder before. This case takes the cake.
There are filthy rich people around the globe who pour money into yachts, custom sports cars, alpine villas, tropical islands, gold plated bathroom fixtures, trips into space, and all manner of self-indulgent and eccentric luxuries, yet not even the kinkiest playboy tycoon ever had an idea so revoltingly wasteful and utterly gauche as this "historical benchmark for the adult novelty industry" dreamed up by some pathetic man in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
I want this freak's name published for all the world to see. Or better yet, extorted into donating to charity 10 times the amount he spent on this sick toy.
P.S. Not that I particularly feel the need to establish my open-mindedness about such matters, but I will note that what I find "sick" about this is the expense and mindset required to feel it necessary turn such a device into a piece of jewelry. I couldn't care less whether people buy such items (which despite their distasteful associations might legitimate uses for all I know), but I see something truly clinical in the particulars of this request.

Huh?? I'm confused. What was the point of this post if you're not going to tell us what it was?

Abdusalaam,
Just run your little cursor over the second sentence and click on the word "case".
It's a "magical link!"
Svend, thanks for this post and for ruining my breakfast.
Oy.

Sorry about that. The first version of this post did not including the link, which was no doubt perplexing.

Allah talks about destroying nations who behave like this.

lol@svend!
Honestly, how on earth did you find this news? :S
When any sane believer sees baatil like this, they can only cringe knowing that while this man fulfills his diamond fascination, others are literally starving!

@IK:
Absolutely, though sometimes the punishments come in this life, karmically.
@AL:
That's what's truly "perverted" about this. The rest is weird and more than a bit sad, but to lavish such wealth and emotional investment on such a device is repulsive. I just hope word gets out who commissioned the creation of this "medical device". That would be reasonably fitting punishment, especially in Saudi society.
