"Platinum is the strongest, most pure metal, it will last a life time"
WTF does that mean?? Before I even touch on the matter of the physical strength of platinum, what the fuck does it mean when a metal is "most pure" ?? It's especially laughable when right below this, it says that the fittings are made from a 95% platinum alloy. Guess what, that doesn't make it more pure. I'm guessing purity is a good word for marketing reasons so I'll let it slide. I'm sure how well the metal is alloyed will translate fantastically to the success of the marriage, but then again, that would mean an impure metal would be stronger....
I feel like when talking to people at stores too it's impossible to use words other than "shiny" and "brilliant." Oh wait, I also say the words "Fuck that is expensive" a lot. This has been a very unpleasant experience. Fuck you western bourgeois ideals with your shiny stones, I'm buying red ribbon at Michaels for 3.99 a yard.
