2. He should have a Motorola Q phone. Blackberry will be obsolete once the Q takes over.

With all of the same features of the Blackberry, and more, the Motorola Q delivers the perfect QWERTY smartphone in a thin and stylish design!

Let there be Q!

3. It's a phone, not a piece of jewelry! What are these morons thinking?

"Hrmmmm, I wonder what I can incrust in gold today!" Ridiculous!

4. 852 million people across the world are hungry, up from 842 million a year ago.

Every day, more than 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes--one child every five seconds.

In essence, hunger is the most extreme form of poverty, where individuals or families cannot afford to meet their most basic need for food.

Hunger manifests itself in many ways other than starvation and famine. Most poor people who battle hunger deal with chronic undernourishment and vitamin or mineral deficiencies, which result in stunted growth, weakness and heightened susceptibility to illness.

Countries in which a large portion of the population battles hunger daily are usually poor and often lack the social safety nets we enjoy, such as soup kitchens, food stamps, and job training programs. When a family that lives in a poor country cannot grow enough food or earn enough money to buy food, there is nowhere to turn for help.

And Pharell's walking around with an 18K gold cell phone.......SHAME!

5. Courtney - I couldn't agree with you more. If I had his money it would not be put into a stupid gold phone.

6. You know when it comes to rich people buying those things that rich people do, I sorta think that it's not really their responsibility to aid the hunger stricken poor countries around the world. The politicians are the ones we should be pointing our fingers at. Money is relative most of us have some, but are we doing what we can to aid poorer countries. I just signed up to donate monthly to Darfur aid, and I have three children, two of which are in college being supported on about $55,000.00 a year.

7. To : FTC,poster #6,
First of all,having a lot of "bling" is not "Black Culture." It is just a lot of hype perpetuated by rappers,hip hop moguls and other celebrities to call attention to themselves. Don't show your ignorance by buying into everything the media puts out there.!

8. Hey Rochelle,

I didn't say that it's the responsibility of the rich to help poor countries. I was just commenting on the fact that there are so many needy people in the world and this idiot's top priority is a gold blackberry.

So while I applaud your small efforts to aid the people of Darfur, there are those (like Pharrell) who could do so much more than you but who would rather buy gold phones.

10. Foreign countries aside, we have plenty of domestic poverty here. People like this do not deserve money. They deserve a kick to the head. I hope someone steals it. He deserves it.
I understand buying nice things with your money, heck we all do....there is just a point where it is ridiculous......

12. Well Pharalle worked hard for his money also so if thats what he wants to do with his money so be it. As long as he is paying his tithes thats between him and God. I personally would not have spent that much on a phone but its his money he worked for it and if thats what he choose to do with it then its on him. He probably does donate to charites the media probably just dont show that side.

13. He is one of the world's famous black producers is he suppose to feed the world. A lot of you dont give to charitable organizations so why are u trying to single him out is it because he is a person of color. If Justin Timberlake did it some of you would be trying to buy a gold-filled version.

World's famous

14. Hey Jessica,

"we have plenty of domestic poverty here".....do you know what it means to be redundant? If not, let me just tell you that you didn't need to add the word "here" to your sentence. Domestic implies that it's "here".

15. He's a idiot plain & simple..
