I liked the part where his cat turned up and spent the entire second half of the pitch video trying to get his attention. Watching it made much harder to laugh at this one though  e: the console does not use CGI Effects. it uses CYBER AUTHENTICATED TABLE [CAT] tools that you can use to make cat based movies and games.

Pay me £400 to make some spice racks to sell to businesses or something. No, you can't have any. You can only get a £10 thank you card. Idiot. Also that won't cover the goal of the KickStarter because they're limited. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1484064877/spice-rack

Though they might be stupid enough to try since they were incapable of realizing a PUA date rape manual was a bad idea because they only had about a day to google what pickup artists are and good lord that'd be a lot of work.

True. You could pretty much go "seeya suckers, hookers and blow for life!" and they couldnt touch you. At least with the charity line most people won't follow up on it

Moving that from amazon.com into a robot is not a life changing feature. What does it do? Listen and take pictures? Sounds like a really expensive Furby.

More on the Ritot... http://thenextweb.com/gadgets/2014/08/05/dubious-crowdfunding-campaign-ritot-explains-team-used-fake-names/ quote:Is an engineer still attached to your project? quote:Six months seems like a short time to build such a complicated product from scratch. What sets you apart from other teams that have tried and failed? No engineers on their team, no working prototype, faked their ID to appear American...and it's still got over $760,000. And check their answer re flexible funding: quote:Why did you go for Flexible Funding if it would have potentially left you short of cash? Could you have completed the project with just a portion of the goal? So why not just ask for $35,000 as a minimum rather than having to go through the hassle of refunding.

Yeah that's a scam. One thing about that article though, the team claims that they sent igg their passports for verification, and the article says that they did, but I can't find anything on igg's website to prove that they actually did.

When that campaign ends if the first thing they do is something other than leave the Ukraine and go somewhere else using the campaign money I'd be stunned. It'd be like someone in one of the most run down parts of Detroit becoming a millionaire. Everyone would want that pie and some people wouldn't hold back on how they request it. e: That's probably why they're openly stating they're using aliases. Nobody around them would easily know about the potential windfall coming their way, and if they're trying to run with the money it'll just be that much easier unless IGG gives out their personal information, or whatever info's attached to the bank account they'll send the money to.

Do you live in NYC? Do you eat egg sandwiches? Well apparently many of them are made improperly but you can help but giving money to this guy who will proceed to hand out leftlets to delis: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/joeyscoops/saving-the-nyc-egg-sandwich He got $465 of the $310 he asked for with 15 days to go. Bonus points for them having a profile picture that just oozes shithead.

that is a sad stack of cash: is that a bunch of 1s under a 100 with a red rubberband? Is he... serious? Here's his super bowl prediction: "Russell and the Seahawks are up for it, but there's something about Peyton and the year Denver's had that's tough to go against. Seattle is the better all-around, healthier team, but why should that matter? It's one game. Denver 23, Seattle 21" lol

I mean, a Seattle win was definitely the likelier scenario going into it but I don't think anyone could've expected them to pry open the Broncos' mouths and poo poo down their throats for an entire evening the way they did. Everything else about this chucklehead reeks of try-hard internet comedian though.

I think it's the scores themselves. I don't think it's very common for a football team to have a lead of 2 points, due to how the game is scored. Edit: Yeah, I did the math, and unless there are rules I don't know about that allow for single points without an after-touchdown kick, it's not possible to end a game 23-21.

Can't you do three touchdowns with two two point conversions and one with an extra point (8 + 8 + 7) or two regular touchdown+extra points, and one touchdown with a missed extra point plus a field goal (7 + 7 + 6 + 3) etc? He puts as much care into his football scores as he does his egg sandwiches, obviously.
