This guy wants 30 grand to film himself attempting to make a million dollars.

Hey, now how about a $30,000 head start? Rewards, you say? Well:

Rewards posted:

Pledge $25 or more
DVD Copy of the film with exclusive bonus features plus all of the above rewards.


Pledge $50 or more
Signed photograph and personal thank you letter from Andrew as well as the previous rewards.


Pledge $100 or more
Signed T-shirt from Andrew as well as the previous rewards.


Pledge $750 or more
A thirty minute skype session with Andrew plus the previous rewards.

Why do these no-name bozos always figure a skype call with them will be worth anything more than the wasted bandwidth?

With 30k, he can barely afford good camera gear. Either these people have no idea what it actually costs to make even the tiniest of movies/documentaries, or they are hoping to generate interest with this Kickstarter for a different kind of funding.

I'm not going to post the link because I don't want traffic to reach the Indiegogo page but my friends have decided to raise money so one of our friends can go to Europe for his 21st birthday. Most of us are just "Why? What makes him special?" Turns out the creator has a hard-on for the guy and is making it her duty to make sure he gets over $1000 so he can go to Europe. And don't worry, if they don't reach their goal she set it to flexible funding so she can pocket the moneyput it away until they have enough. :downs:

Seriously, a bunch of my friends have been turning 21 lately. But this guy is getting people to hand him money so he can gently caress around in Europe. It's stupid as all hell.

My friends did something kind of like this last year where they started an IndieGoGo to fund our end of the year party after we all graduated.

The difference is they did it as a joke, didn't link it anywhere except on the Facebook Event page, and didn't expect any money to actually come in out of it.

It's a traffic calming and street reclamation technique that's seeing some traction in San Francisco and, to a lesser degree, Portland and Seattle. It's based on the idea of giving people more space in dense urban areas as opposed to letting car culture dominate the landscape.

I didn't look at these Kickstarters but I assume it's people trying to profit off this idea for some reason?

Not really, most of them are being run by community development centers, neighborhood improvement organizers, or the city in question. There are some that are being run by a coalition of businesses, but it doesn't appear that most of those are even going to reserve the space for their customers.

Everyone loves a secret! And it seems many people have just forgotten how to read roman numerals! So I came up with a funny way of helping further cannabis culture's trek into mainstream dialog.

Strange as it might sound, there are places outside of the west coast where it simply isn't kosher to talk about cannabis in public! Horrible.

IVXX? Why not CDXX? Is that too hard to understand? They don't even get Roman Numerals.

IV_XX just looks stupid. I guess they're trying to emphasize the time, but roman numerals look dumb like that.

Dude is under the impression that people are going to give a single minuscule gently caress about his dumb loving bags.

quote:

If every shirt or bag starts 5 conversations (and it will start WAY more than that over its life) that means 2000 people who then have the capability of 5 more conversations... and 2000 becomes 10,000. 10,000 to 500,000. 500,000 to 250,000,000. (Thats almost the entire US population!)

Duh. By making your roman numerals incorrect people will see it and say "what the gently caress is IVXX that makes no sense in roman numerals" and then you say "have you ever thought about roman numerals on WEED?"

As someone who smokes on the reg, there is nothing on this gay earth that annoys me more than people who won't shut the gently caress up about weed, or feel the need to emblazon themselves with poo poo advertising the fact that they like weed, or define themselves by their weed habit.

And they think they're doing the world a favor with this poo poo too. Like, what better person to prove that responsible, normal, adults can partake in cannabis consumption without it affecting their lives than some sloppy fuckhead with a 4:20 shirt or a potleaf hat starting "conversations" with people, right?

Okay. Maybe we should make some t-shirts saying "Keep calm and 3:30 drink cider in the mid-afternoon, bro." or something.

I also have got an idea for an iPhone accessory that is exactly like a post it note with 3:30 written on it. But for your iPhone.
