Can we really call anyone who goes to fyre fest 2 a vitcim? fool me once..

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 12 points 1 month ago

Jesus christ, not even renaming it.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 month ago

Why rename it when you have that name recognition? I mean after getting your name known in households across the US, it would be stupid to rename your business.....

How this guy is allowed to run anything like this again, let alone the same exact scam is beyond me. Wtf.

[-] BossDj@lemm.ee 26 points 1 month ago

Let's be real. A ton of people will pay to go even if it's another absolute shit show, or especially if it's another shit show, just for the media attention. I genuinely hope it's an absolute flop, but I feel like influencers will flock

If he's ripping off rich people and obnoxious social media influencers, I'll help print flyers or something

[-] gmtom@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Anyone that's buys a ticket for this should not be allowed to vote.

You get meat with the cheese sandwich this time.

[-] dwemthy@lemdro.id 14 points 1 month ago

Technically you get to meet with the cheese sandwich. They could only afford one cheese sandwich and you meet with it over zoom to make sure you don't eat it

Let's not get ahead of ourselves.

its basically what Burning Man has evolved into. An anti-resort torture vacation for the ultra wealthy.

whats after that? perhaps active war zones.

[-] AnomalousBit@programming.dev 18 points 1 month ago

Guess I know what documentary I’ll be watching in four years

[-] tacosanonymous@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago

It's a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for 'em.

[-] TheHotze@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Dashcon 2 is also happening, and will at least have a ball pit.

[-] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I’d prefer Fluttercon, but I’ll take it.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 11 points 1 month ago

I want receipts and video footage before I believe this.

[-] snooggums@midwest.social 9 points 1 month ago

I mean, they had (staged) footage and (fraudulent) receipts the first time.

[-] hopesdead@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago

Right. I totally forgot about that. Well maybe I want to hear it from the artist being invited to perform.

[-] caveman8000@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

Yo, get Ja on the phone.

[-] ravhall@discuss.online 9 points 1 month ago

I don’t want the negativity that I bring to kill something before it’s ready

Too late buddy

[-] cmrn@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Hmm this headline doesn’t remind me of anything in US politics…

[-] Cossty@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

At least internet historian will have material for new video.

[-] bilb@lem.monster 5 points 1 month ago

Let's do a lemmy meetup at Fyre Fest II!

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)
