Fyre Festival disaster

[Gator]

Just catching wind of his Fyre Festival, the highly publicized excursion in the Bahamas that cost rich, white millennials in the neighborhood of $10,000. Top-notch lodging, food and drink would be added to a knockout lineup of performing artists.

Except, well ....

The complete and utter disaster that was Fyre Festival played out on social media for all to see

It apparently was the brain child of Ja Rule, because, you know, 2002 was awesome. Not surprisingly, his Twitter account was been "suspended."

Some of the tweets are just amazing.





It's like a rich version of Lord of the Flies. Now this is reality television. Also, it's hard for me to feel one iota of sympathy for the bozos who shelled out this kind of dough for a weekend in the Bahamas. And I can guarantee you lawsuits are coming .... lawsuits everywhere.

Yeah, if people pay for a vacation, they definitely should be subjected to starvation, fires and physical harm.

This is the Peaches Geldof of vacations.

I don't know what you look like, but this is how I envision you.

Fox News chimes in:

I know how you think from that blogger thread.

So you're very easy to dismiss. Your perceptions and ability to read people and situations are for ****.

Whether they have valid complaints or not, no one is going to have any sympathy for rich twerps who get hosed.

Nailed it!

I hope journalists refrain from reporting on this until they can get Ja Rule on the record.

Not doing so might jeapordize the success of next year's festival.

That's Starman.

Ja Rule?
Blink-182?
When did we go back to 2002?

 

[YankeeFan]

Gator is now reporting that this was NOT A SCAM and is not Ja Rule's fault.

They'll announce the repayment plan at a big luncheon in six months.

It'll just take a few months to get all the money out. It's being stored in Al Capone's vault.

 

[poindexter]

Payment in the form of vouchers for the next Fyre Festival.

With 36,000 posts in eight years, which boils down to 12 a day, you must be the guy who tells everyone how to do their jobs. You are such a sad person.

Horrendously so. Thinking about ending it all. But don't tell anyone until I make it official.

 

[Gator]

Again, you'll be thoroughly missed.

"I truly apologize as this is NOT MY FAULT"

Who says Ja Rule isn't relevant in 2017? Seems to have captured the zeitgeist perfectly.
