Recession days seem to be encouraging to spend even the little money that is left in their accounts in a desperate attempt to feel good. If the people have begun to spend their last pennies, the retailers have begun to put up ware that they don’t even intend to sell, but try to lure customers with fancy gimmicks. Perhaps this is a sort of denial in which the retailer and the consumer don’t want to accept that both are headed towards bankruptcy.

Well, this long intro is to announce the Mercedes-Benz SL600 series, which is parked at the Sogi department store in Osaka. What is strange about a luxury car outside a high-end store? Well, the classy car is studded with Swarovski crystals and perhaps, this particular car has to be the one with the most number of crystals and weigh more than it’s original weight. 300,000 crystals turn the car into a shiny attention grabbing eye-candy.

The car is estimated to cost around $403,000 and is not even going to be sold. This proves yet another fact that humans tend to be in a state of denial at times like these, in crises, and continue to ignore reality and gloss over something shiny, with pun intended.
