Artist unveiled 98 million dollar skull

"It shows we are not going to live for ever. But it also has a feeling of victory over death," Hirst said as the sparkling skull was unveiled to the public for the first time amid tight security at central London's White Cube gallery.

Sorry dude, I'm all into the skeleton and skull symbolism as much as the next person (more so more likely), but what this says to me is BLING BLING.

I pity the poor dude whose skull they used. One day he looks down/up from the Great White/Hot Wherever and discovers his skull belongs on a gangsters chain. Oh well, at least they let him keep his own teeth.
