[Maximo]

Did the Telegraph just tweet a 'shop from GAF as a real photo?

Holy shit wut.

 

[Shaanyboi]

shamelessly stolen from twitter

 

[EviLore]

Waiting for EvilLore's photos from there.

I wish. Next time let me know beforehand and I'll bring my gopro and a ka-bar.

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Faux rich kid time share pitch gone wrong?

lol it was a good shop, but give me a fucking break. Might as well let me report the news from my bedroom.

 

[EatinOlives]

The tweet from Ja IS fake, right? It's much longer than 140 characters

 

[jstripes]

I wish. Next time let me know beforehand and I'll bring my gopro and a ka-bar.

Not in the loop anymore. I freelanced with scummy promoters about ten years ago. You're on your own.

 

[Nostremitus]

Ja secretly trying to get the wealthy to learn empathy for refugees?

 

[How About No]

I don't even know who Ja Rule is but this thread is one hell of a ride

Those poor attendants lmao

 

[Korey]

So like...I don't get what their plan was. Assuming this wasn't a scam from the beginning?

The nymag article says they just didn't know what the fuck they were doing.

Next Year Young MC will try and top it

Maybe the first quote but not really lmao

This whole thread feels more and more closer to a Andrew Wk scenario

 

[darkwing-buck]

 

[BladeoftheImmortal]

Now that's luxury.

 

[Bo Knows GAF]

This is my favorite thread of, probably, all time.

Let's just do it and be legends, man.

The promotional video does not make mention of disaster relief tents, or disaster.

It does, to its credit, suggest the whole megillah is "on the boundaries of the impossible."

We need the honest trailer guy on this stat.

 

[Nekofrog]

We need the honest trailer guy on this stat.

trey parker doing a voice over ripping it to shreds satirically in his bombastic announcer voice would be legendary

 

[firehawk12]

Did anyone actually pay 12k? It sounds like everyone got in for a couple grand.

 

[RedBaron17]

Reading this thread in what little down time I have at work was totally worth it. Amazing.

Also, I never realized how much I fucking HATE the word "influencer".

 

[EatChildren]

A bunch of dumb rich fucks scammed out of their parent's money by a hack fraud "artist" and his entourage of disorganised morons, stranded on an island and robbed of their valuables, living in disaster relief tents and eating plastic cheese, lured under the guise of a basic bitch Bahaman dance adventure.

This is the best unintentional living art installation ever.

A way more succinct version of what I was gonna post.

A bunch of rich kids got fleeced and nothing of value was lost.

 

[And_Gignac]

Rich kids getting to know how life is for most people on earth.

 

[Saya]

 

[Trojita]

I like the term RichKidHungerGames.

 

[Seventy70]

Ja Rule gives a toast during the festival planning

He has the exact mannerisms of an antagonist in a Ubisoft game...

Far Cry FYRE: Under Ja's Rule

 

[Tender Joe]

This is good shit.

 

[CountAntonius]

Ja Rule gives a toast during the festival planning

Cheesy as fuck.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Reminds me of the thread about the expensive pants that have fake mud on them.

I wondered where things could possibly go next, now I know.

Lmao damn.

This is the cheesiest thing I've ever heard.

Photo of the meal provided to the top tier $12,000 guests:

 

[whitemex88]

You're like 10 pages too late for this joke.

 

[Monocle]

The festival features:
Gourmet food

Opulent accommodations

And so much more

Well, that is food. And those are accommodations. The guests are experiencing the cultural moment of paying $12,000 to live in squalor. There's poetic irony in here somewhere.

Aw crap.

But this is just the 7th page

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Shit makes Dashcon look like Comic-con.

Fuck, man.

Ice cold.

 

[the_batman]

i don't know if anyone posted this video already, but it's taken by a guy at the "festival".

talk about documenting reality

[TAJ]

They're already talking about doing this again next year.
How about no.

 

[the_batman]

They're already talking about doing this again next year.
How about no.

lollllll

and the dude said it would be free and in the US... sure.

 

[LumpOfCole]

Ja Rule needs to make his triumphant return to the Fast and the Furious franchise in order to gain his good name back.

 

[MC Safety]

Are the refugees going to get their tents back now?

 

[Opto]

I only feel really bad for the Bahamas. They were forecasting millions of dollars and they got stuck babysitting.


And it's impressive how fragile society is once you break it away from food, water, and shelter. Like under 12 hours and madness takes hold

 

[Stencil]

Even if this whole festival wen't perfectly, it would never have had anything that could compare to Andrew WK's performance in 2008.

This is for you! For you!

WOW that video. Just yanked the mic and ushered off stage.

On topic, reading through that ITB dude's twitter and the various articles regarding this has made my night very entertaining.

 

[darkwing-buck]

 

[nekkid]

He's never recovered since being rejected by Monica.

lol

 

[Chittagong]

Holy shit, one of the best gaf threads in a long while. Strugglewich, refugee tents, GAF shops used in news reporting, legendary.
