Alright, so we know what you’re thinking: Another cookie-cutter Iraq war movie. Explosions, guns, tension, half-baked and loosely interwoven love story, helicopters crashing, Matt Damon. But, hold the phone! We are quite happy (and pleasantly surprised!) to report that director Paul Greengrass’ latest offering, Green Zone, (inspired by Rajiv Chandrasekaran’s novel Imperial Life in the Emerald City) only has but half of these thriller-action clichés.

This Columbian white gold, silver or platinum ring encrusted with Andean Emeralds is the official ring of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. It’s a bargain, costing between $2500 and $250 000 a piecem featuring miniature bejeweled stadiums and soccer balls. The platinum rings are selling for a quarter million, featuring 220 emeralds. Theres only seven of these being made. Theres thirty three white gold versions for $70 000 having only thirty six emeralds and a few South African Diamonds tossed in for good measure. The World Cup MVP gets a ring for free but only one of the mid-ranged white gold ones. Sucks to be him.
This is the most x-treme confection conflation in the illustrious history of food and food-like products. Its organic sustainably farmed bacon and I know you’re already on board but wait, theres more. Its got a touch of Vermont maple syrup flavouring. But wait. Theres more. It’s in convenient on-a-stick lollipop form. But wait! THERES MORE! It’s also double Caffeinated for that extra punch to the brain you’ve been looking for. Ambrosia is for peasants. This is truly the food of the gods.
