They tried the Turkish method by leaving them all in the heat in a tent and denying responsibility, now it's time for the trusty old Weimar method!

Did you know that the bathtub was first marketed in north america as a horse trough and dog scalder?

They could have hired a wedding planner for $5K and had something at least reasonable. You have to be a next level moron (a.k.a. literal retard) for shit to go down like this.

I'm sure there are going to multiple lawsuits because of this thing.

I saw that. Those people were brought in like 2 months before the thing was supposed to happen. They needed 1 reasonable event planner from the beginning and shit would have been different.

Pretty sure Ja Rule is a literal retard.

No more than the idiots that fall for this scam again

People need to go to jail behind this.

The organizers are probably about to learn a whole lot about good ol' 18 U.S.C. §1443.

They could have hired a wedding planner for $5K and had something at least reasonable.

Not on their budget in that location.

No amount they are willing to spend will help get over this epiclly bad PR.

Nah, they'll just rebrand as "Wynd Festival" or something and we'll see an exact repeat of this story next year. Maybe someone actually gets eaten by a shark that time.

Or maybe Bahamian gangsters capture the island and force the hyperdouche hipsterati to battle each other to the death for their entertainment. Now that's a festival I just might be tempted to spend five figures on.

Billy McFarland and Ja Rule started a partnership over a mutual interest in technology, the ocean, and rap music. This unique combination of interests led them to the idea that, through their combined passions, they could create a new type of music festival and experience on a remote island.

What could go wrong. TOP MINDS

As amazing as the islands are, the infrastructure for a festival of this magnitude needed to be built from the ground up. So, we decided to literally attempt to build a city.

Oh shit like Bioshock

Then something amazing happened: venues, bands, and people started contacting us and said they’d do anything to make this festival a reality and how they wanted to help.

Quit loying

Liking technology, hip hop and the ocean make you like this, one in a trillion rainbow unicorn brah

UNIQUE combination of interests

in technology, the ocean, and rap music.

Who even discovers they have a mutual interest in these enough to start a partnership?

Live at the beach, own an iphone, and listen to a rap artist such as Weird Al. There ya go.

Which makes them qualified to be Californian yuppie douches, not run a festival for hundreds of people. No wonder it was a disaster

Oh and I have to but

rap artist such as Weird Al

lol

Who even discovers they have a mutual interest in these enough to start a partnership?

Come on, obviously there was a lot of cocaine involved that night.

"Its like bioshock, but, uh, with rap."

"and hookers."

Have you seen the pictures? The only hooker holes there was man-butt. Very sad.

Def Jam: Fight for Rapture

fuck it lets make this shit happen

Then something amazing happened: venues, bands, and people started contacting us and said they’d do anything to make this festival a reality and how they wanted to help.

Holy shit lmao, I dig how they're trying to spin this into some kind of inspirational underdog story about overcoming the odds. I think they are confusing people 'reaching out and wanting to help with future fforts ' with 'ridiculing and laughing at the epic clusterfuck our festvial is'.

They "accidentally" paid Kendall Jenner 250k for some instagram shilling, but of course nobody was trying to sell any tickets and everything just came together organically by itself.

It was just a few people with a shared dream and a love for for the ocean who made this possible. All that money being exchanged doesn't matter.

The guy behind this also created the $250/yr not-credit-card for idiot millenials: http://nypost.com/2014/07/05/the-22-year-old-dropout-who-created-nycs-most-exclusive-credit-card/

Member Gwen Tetirick says she joined because she wanted someone to curate her life for her.

Class war now

Thing is... this is the middle class. Not even the 1%ers.

That's absolutely not the middle class.

The attendees? Mostly. It actually rich people. Shit, lots of people dipped into their savings.

This was the "aspirational" crowd.

Yeah. It was a "credit card" for people who can't afford to have an American Express black. The big draw was discounts - and happy hour at their little clubhouse. This was never a service for the wealthy.

The $30,000 Millionaires

As a 1% myself, this is probably upper middle to lower upper, depending on where you want to draw that line.

the middle class doesnt exist anymore tho

this, but unironically

Class war is the only reason the rich get out of bed in the morning.

;)

What's that word for when you feel embarrassed for someone else?

the black eyed peas effect

kill me

I wasn't sure that I hated him until I saw the picture in the article.

That guy is r/hittablefaces material.

Magnises is “Latin for absolutely nothing,” admits McFarland, who launched the company in March. “The name is made up, but it sounds grand, doesn’t it?”

Millennials are literally the worst. I guess you can't blame a generation of people named Izobel, Jaxson, and Zoloft.

The passive voice was used.

Dishonest and bad writing.

Luckily that wasn't passive or active because it was just a sentence fragment.

Fragments are fine within reason.

And then we went

These motherfuckers are fucking brave...then again if you are rich enough and stupid enough to burn money on shit like this and don't read the fine print - get fucked

The team was overwhelmed. The airport was jam packed. The buses couldn’t handle the load. And the wind from rough weather took down half of the tents on the morning our guests were scheduled to arrive.

But they're on a mission from god!

Just dream bigger. It will make your past failures seem more reasonable.

they still think theres going to be a 2018 fyre festival? faggots

Making promises about 2018 is a lot like "babe I won't cum in your mouth next time, I promise"

This is what happens when you think the ending of Wayne's World 2 is realistic

I already bought my $25,000 ticket for next year. Lightning can't strike in the same place twice.

Lytnyng Festival

Isn't that the whole idea of lightning rods?

I love all the white knights in tweeter defending ja rule, saying he was framed lol

so what the fuck is fyre festival anyway

something about rich instagram kids cavorting with packs of wild dogs?

Well...shit.

I mean what are the odds that this becomes a shitshow two years in a row?

Bonnaroo or nothing tbh
