There aren't any good Indian restaurants in NY?

 

[KikiFan]

huh. I didn't think Kanye has such good taste.
Seriously though I don't think it's such a big deal. I mean the the guy's got millions so why not?

 

[sugarpie]

He had the munchies.

 

[Serena]

Apparently he knows what he likes and is willing to pay for it. It's a bit much for me, but

 

[crazyme5kids]

Kanye isn't paying for it, a record promotion company is.

 

[bbmommy]

I ain't saying she a gold digger...

 

[pperfectmom]

I didn't read the story, but there have been times when I would pay thousands(assuming I had it of course) for someone else to cook supper.

Ok, you are right, but to me, that makes it even worse. A company decided that this made sense..... that gets passed on to consumers somehow.

 

[crazyme5kids]

LOL yeah well that's the cost of doing business. All businesses do it to some extent, they just happen to be in a higher price level where wining and dining are concerned.

 

[Mari annie]

cause he can!!!lol!

That money would come in handy for another trip to FL for us!!!

how many more days until 4/10? TOO many, I get my FL fix daily from the disboards, but I wouldn't mind leaving............tomarrow!!!!

 

[Papa Deuce]

And then he'll stand on a stage with his limousine liberal Hollywood friends and tell us how much they care about the environment...

I thought that as well. But then I was wondering if the food came on a flight that was coming here anyway....

 

[Cliff Clavin]

Thousands for some indian food?
He should have come up here to Boston, and he could have had a nice cool beer here at Cheer's bar. It woulda cost him a heck of a lot less than $3900. And it probably woulda filled him up just as much.

Cheers!

ugh, I can't stand that man, I'd rather drag my bare knees across a freeway at 100MPH than look or listen to him...

I caught the bit about the promotion company paying for it also. At least I'm assuming they're paying for it; it says the meal was ordered for West by the production company. If he were paying for it out of his own pocket, that's one thing; this just seems like the company is overindulging a celeb like a spoiled brat.

On the other hand, anyone else think of that episode of MASH where Hawkeye ordered ribs from a restaurant in Chicago to be shipped to the 4077th in Korea?

Oh brother. It's no wonder much of the world does this --> at Americans.

Exactly.

Wasn't he the one that ignored the teleprompter on a show to raise money for Katrina victims and went on a rampage about how GWB hates black people He is very concerned about how many of his "brothers and sisters" are living in poverty. Now he does something like this? Could you imagine how many people he could have helped with that embarrassing amount of money?

Ah, but it is his promoters doing it If he were any type of man, he would have stood up and said "NO. I don't want to do this, It is frivolous and , after all, I accused someone else of overlooking My People. I must help Them instead of making a spectacle of myself".

So obnoxious.

Maybe to you it was considerd a spectacle, but to a lot of people he spoke the truth as they saw it.

I look at this as being free advertisement. When people hear that he had this food specially delivered, they'll wonder how great the food really is and will go to that restaurant and see for themselves.
