This can't just be parody, it's obviously some effort to get a little bit of that monkey cheese money. Wonder how much money they could have made with the equivalent effort of the average KS though.

Yeah I mean the original is clearly just a guy who was trying to do something silly only to have it explode. Not parody and not an attempt to fleece people, just 'ha ha ha I will do somehting dumb on the internet as a joke for me and my buddies'.

The Potato Salad guy has already had to post an update apologising for some stuff. He apparently used some photographer's photo without permission and used his fame to shill some local business and he's very sorry. quote:I love you all. Thank you for sticking with me. I promise I won't let you down. Internet fame always has a downside and he's still got 3 more weeks of this to put up with.

I would like $65,000 to get a degree in songwriting. Notable features of this project include no examples of the person's work and only one pledge tier of $25 limited to five backers. Help me erase the stigma of mental illness by giving me the funds to print my absolutely loving crazy t-shirts. If you pledge $1000 the project creator will stomp out stigma single-handedly. I want to start a pastry-based food truck but I don't actually have a driver's licence. For unknown reasons the target amount of this project is $2 and both the pitch and reward tiers are written in charmingly broken English by a Quebecois native. Good to see that incompetent / borderline-scam kickstarters are not limited to the US. I need One Million Earth Dollars to make a new Tim Burton Batman movie. Risks include the fact that Tim Burton and Michael Keaton are both old as gently caress now and may not actually be onboard with making a new batman movie with a random goon from the internet. Also only has one pledge tier of $1 minimum and offers no tangible rewards. Pay me $20,000 to write a book of 'filthy fables'. Features a one-sentence pitch with no actual information about what a 'filthy fable' is or why we should bankroll the creation of said fables. Also only has one pledge tier of $250 to receive a copy of the book and will only ship the finished product within Australia. It continues to astonish me how many kickstarter projects seem to be created by people that are completely delusional and have no idea how kickstarter is meant to work. These people are, presumably, intelligent enough to operate a computer and create a kickstarter project but can't figure out how to stagger (or even offer) pledge tiers or how to write a vaguely coherent pitch.

Man, my dude Craig has some pretty sick ideas for tricking out a few Pontiac Azteks! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1654598693/pontiac-aztek-conservation-and-customizing quote:Everyone has an opinion about the Aztek, which bodes well for it's future in museums and car shows. ... you do mean junkyards, right? I don't know if my favorite part is that he seems dead serious about this or the fact that if everyone pledged the minimum, the project wouldn't hit its goal.
