Burning Money
How do you know I haven’t bought the painting off a painter who is an irrational aesthete who burns the money in his barbecue with his mates as a "statement" (remember the K foundation/Justified Ancients of Mu Mu)?Forgive me for pointing out that this is not what people do with their money. Even retards dont burn their money (even they can see what a dumb idea that is).
Rarely it is done, and why is not hard to guess... marketing. Its just a cost of marketing. It gets people's attention precisely because no-one ever does it, because its such a dumb thing to do. youngsters think its cool, and when they think someone's cool they buy their products. Oldsters are less gullible.
