I quite liked the first Dresden Dolls album, it was a shame to find out she's such an odious turd.

Oh sweet, are we complaining about Amanda Palmer again? That wasn't insufferable enough the first time around, I'm glad we brought this particular corpse out of retirement. Has anyone mentioned her eyebrows? They're weird and different in a way that interferes with my masturbation fantasies.

Is there a bingo category for "Laughably implausible and easily hacked home monitoring hardware"? Because this poo poo is absurd "Yeah, totally looking forward to carrying this fuckoff ipod-looking suburban pustule around the house with me, why mount it somewhere sensible when I can leave it on the table in full light and forget about it for the rest of the day"

I just dislike people who feel entitled to having other people do things for them without pay because the payment is getting to do that thing for said person. Just because you're famous doesn't mean you just get to not pay people who deserve money.

Hahaha! Aw come on, I can't tell you everything right away! That would make for a boring story, don't you think?
Amanda Palmer was interviewed on fresh air the other day and I was listening with my parents and about halfway though my Dad commented "This woman is ad fascinating as she is insufferable." I thought that pretty much summed it up.

Wikipedia starts out saying that she goes by "Amanda loving Palmer" and her style is "dark cabaret" so that pretty well sums it up.

Meanwhile in Kickstarter Bandwagon land ...




There's currently 125 listed KS projects that mention potato salad in the title or the short blurb including a project to make a documentary about the potato salad project, a project about making a documentary about trying to get Bill Murray to crash the potato salad party, and a project to make "I hate the potato salad guy" t-shirts.

Of those 125 projects only 19 have raised more than $100 and only 5 have raised more than $1000 (not counting the potato salad project itself) and those 5 aren't food projects, they're just random KS projects that happen to mention the potato salad guy in passing.

Yeah, if you go to the individual project pages it'll say whether it was cancelled by the project creator or by Kickstarter staff.

can anyone explain to me how crowdfunding or kickstarter or indiegogo or whatever isn't rampant with abuse and fraud?

Because it does seem like you can just make up a convincing sob story and get $1000 for it.

It is rampant with it haven't you read the thread.

Also there are sites that are literally just for putting up your sob story and taking money from all comers.
