my absolute favorite ridiculous cd cover was something i saw in a hip-hop magazine circa '99. I can't believe that I didn't tear the page out because it was pure awesomeness. This was during the heyday of Pen N' Pixel fast and dirty bling artwork, and I'm not sure if they were responsible for this one, or if it was just one of a multitude of imitators. Killing myself for not writing down the rapper's name, because this image is now lost to memory.
Basically, it was a dude sitting at the kitchen table in his mansion (you knew it was a large estate because there was a window showing his helicopter parked outside and whatnot). A 'Mom' character was serving him his breakfast, which was cold cereal in a bowl. Instead of Frosted Flakes or Fruit Loops, it was a cereal that consisted solely of diamonds.
