The Royal Collection: Gold, Silver and Diamond Chocolates

This is for all the Chocolate fanatics, like myself, the ultimate in edible luxury. Check out the Royal Collection from the people at Cocoa Gourmet. Serves as a treat for the eyes and the mouth, this selection is priced at just $1,250 and contains 12 pieces (4 Gold, 4 Silver and 4 Diamond Pieces).

And don’t worry, they’re edible… they’re even certified according to the international food industry standards. I don’t have the details of how it works, but there you go. The most expensive chocolates in the world.

Dissecting Consumer Culture: The “American Dream” Documentary

Adrants points us to a new documentary currently being by filmmaker Joel Christian McEwan called American Dream which will examine America’s obsession with instant-gratification and material possessions as well as the corporate force which feeds and profits from that obsession. Featuring Danny Glover, Ed Begley Jr., Jean Kilbourne, Howard Zinn and many others, American Dream will try to make sense America’s consumer culture, it’s causes and its effects.

What is interesting is that the filmmakers have approached Adrants in order to secure material for the film. Adrants are looking for:

-Funny, ridiculous advertisements
-Lewd, suggestive ads/commercials
-Ads/Commercials that make you want to buy something
-Ads/Commercials that you dislike and want to see removed

So for anyone with a few ideas or examples… head over to Adrants and help the guys out. You can mail your submissions to americandream@adrants.com
