Video: Gadhafi’s Hat

Feuer Frei! · 08-24-11, 08:51 PM

One of the rebel fighters managed to get some of the Gaddafi's most prized possessions.

Way too gaudy for my taste, but I'd wager that hat will be on eBay tomorrow...

Stealhead · 08-24-11, 10:50 PM

That guy is now officially the most gangsta rebel in Libya.

What the sam hell is that feathered gold topped thing?

Reporter: "..what is this thing..that that bushy thing..."

Yay give those to your father who has suffered a lot under Gaddafi.

Btw is the necklace gold? Good investment for global crisis considering it is more like chain than necklace

I'd say that staff would be a ceremonial item, special occasions, military parades and whatnot.

Of course. Gaddafi seems to think he's a royal to be requiring royal ornament and that's probably his royal staff. It's just so funny when the reporter reacted to it.

It kind of looks like an ornate Feather Dusta, don't you think?

Very stylish for dusting those cob webs in the bedroom.

Yeah I think it does look much like a very tacky feather duster.Gadaffy obviously took his styling cues from Micheal Jackson so most of his possessions make little sense.I know he used to have his "tent" set up when he visited the UN.He is a modern day Caligula.

He needs to get the shades for the matching look.

From what I know of the Libyan governmental system, anyone who possess the Gaudy hat and the People's feather duster is officaly the new leader of the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya...

Long ago, gold was made into chains for the rich to wear as necklaces, and in order to pay for things they'd just twist off lengths.

Stealhead · 08-25-11, 03:31 PM

And if that is true I would have been a highwayman and taken alot of gold necklaces.

This would also would have been a disadvantage in bartering because anyone that you attempt to barter with would see the amount that you had.That is why wealthy people had slaves some of them had the job of of going out and buying things so that the master to sit around his house or in another wealthy persons home wearing their gold which was really used more as a status symbol to other wealthy people.
