Not counting bey, aren't there 4 previous members of destiny's child? They should make a group together

 

[TransTrender]

At least it will be in the US next year so escape from the hellish conditions is more possible.

Unless it's in So Cal or Florida...or any other Southern state...

 

[Kaizer]

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.

Gawddamn at this ether LMAO

First two got voted off the Island already

 

[BocoDragon]

The worst part about this whole thing is that it's made Ja Rule into some kind of joke.

 

[CB3]

Is there a good article summarizing the events yet? I know the basics but it would be nice to read something more organized/fleshed out about this disaster.

 

[Kaizer]

LOL, Ja Rule has been a joke for years.

 

[LyleLanley]

Everything I've read about Billy McFarland makes him seem like a career scam artist.

That's the joke.

 

[TAJ]

Searching 'billy mcfarland scam artist' actually brought up stuff about another shady operation before Magnises called Spling.

I've read about Spling but I'm still not entirely sure what it is even though they've signed up some big name customers. Everything related to Magnises/Magnises Air definitely seems like a scam though. Even the name "Magnises" sounds like a scam.

I hear those things are awfully loud.

Even pet Instagram accounts are clowning on them:

 

[Nialrot]

There's a recent update on their website:

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

 

[The Mule]

God I'm so sick of the whole IG "aesthetic" I see everywhere between this, Coachella, Red Bull, etc

I think you'll find it's actually called A E S T H E T I C, look it up

 

[twinturbo2]

"Let's just do it and be legends, man" is the new "Fuck it, I'm going deep!"

It's just hilarious how identical that is to the European struggle-wich. It's almost like this whole incident was created just for GAF.

Maybe I'm using the word "sandwich" wrong but these are normal breakfast... things

 

[Chittagong]

Thanks to #fyrefestival we finally have decisive proof that entitled Millennials and tech bros are less competent & organized than Juggalos.

Brutal

 

[ClosingADoor]

“We started the website to test the theory that people were interested and it went from there. All of the sudden we had thousands of guests and we started booking talent, and we had a festival on our hands. So we thought, oh wow, we have to go solve all the logistical problems,” McFarland said.

"Dumbasses actually believed us and bought tickets. Fuck, now we need to set up a festival real quick."

At least the people at Fyre Festival got some vegetables with their stugglewich.

 

[qcf x2]

Is it okay to laugh at this entire thing, including the people who were swindled out of $12,000? I mean, I feel like it's okay because if you can throw away $12,000 on something that promised to be so pretentious for somebody as irrelevant in 2017 as Ja Rule, your finances will probably be just fine. So I'm leaning towards that.

Having said that, even among fuck ups and con artist schemes this is just filthy. Everybody attached to the event is to blame.

 

[MilkLizard]

Europeans am cry at them not being happy about their Eurowich

As an European myself I agree that some people take the strugglewich meme WAY too serious.

yes. if you have $12k to spend on a single weekend, and you don't do any research whatsoever (it was public knowledge they had not payed any of the artists a month ago) you are literally too stupid to hold onto money.

[bman94]

How the fuck did a damn 25 year old get in charge of hosting an enormous music festival? He obviously wouldn't have had the experience to run it so who the fuck would willingly put their faith in that?

This is true—I will never forget this:

People keep posting that Tri-Force Heroes meme picture while completing ignoring that the NoE version is dry, passive crap. Further, I can't imagine the Splatoon final boss in that dull NoE style. It must be as joyless as your sandwiches.

At least we can enjoy those sandwiches in peace without worrying if the police has decided to add us to their bodycount statistics.

It's like ... where did that come from?

 

[ManDudeChild]

Sounds like a bunch of ppl who wanted to flex on Instagram got fleeced. I can understand buying Coachella tickets sight unseen, it has a reputation. Who would spend money on this without lineup info? And just cause some celebs on Instagram talked about it?

Yeah, I have zero sympathy for any of these people. I am only saddened that Piggy didn't get killed in this version of the novel.

 

[Shredderi]

Oh my. This is something else. I'm kind of amused by all this for some reason.

50 with the double dose of ether.

50 with the double dose of ether.

Finally!

 

[Candescence]

Well, the people in charge are legends, alright...

...for all the wrong reasons.

Seriously, I somehow managed to listen to stuff about this on my alarm radio this morning and the presenters found the whole mess to be bewildering. They also ended up moving on to making fun of Ja Rule.

 

[uncelestial]

The one time where finding Ja Rule to make sense of this mess is actually warranted.

I love that that Chappelle bit still lives on. Nicely done.

 

[Kevtones]

It's weird, I feel bad for Ja Rule.

to be quite honest we would probably eat it without complaining, even though we might not be happy about the lack of butter

.that's probably chump change for them, sadly

 

[Jag]

But don't call them heroes.

 

[Adam_Vania]

$100 million sounds pretty low, i bet that number goes up as people get back home and contact their lawyers

Ja Rule is only worth like $5 million now, LOL

He's going to have to move to that island and eat processed cheese on cardboard bread.
