Yes, that is a $2,000 iPod dock made of "artificial coral"

...
Do you have a chicken that lays golden eggs? Or, perhaps, a tree with money flowering on its limbs? Or maybe you are just a business consultant who earns some ungodly sum for laying platitudes before credulous CEOs? Whatever your method, if you are stinking rich, here is your next purchase.

It is an iPod dock. And it is made of artificial coral. What is artificial coral, you say, and what makes this iPod dock worth €1500?

I’m sorry, but: if you have to ask, you’re simply too poor to know.
