Can't imagine who would buy a white leather-covered camera.

one misleading detail, however, is saying that the unicorn variant
goes for $31,770 over the regular model's $8,000. Regular model M9-P
(itself a special variant ...!) goes for $8000, sure, but without any
lens at all. That lens goes for another $11,000 so the competing
standard model is $19,000 ... so a 40% premium for a limited edition
special of a special edition ...

Hmm. Maybe it is worth it ..

That albino Leica should look good in the glovebox of the 2012

I think we can all agree that a $31,770 white leather Leica is a joke.
 The real question is whether or not they intended it as such.;-)
