Reading this struck a chord with me, and I'm motivated now, more than ever, to personally hunt down one of The Joe's backers so I can brutally murder them and unpledge their money

Those metal cubes/spheres/whatever just remind me of pet rocks. Is that back now? Can I make a Kickstarter for it?

I found out why that inanimate metal cube scam was called Cubit, a better product called Cubit is also on Kickstarter. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1762626887/cubit-the-make-anything-platform?ref=nav_search Now for an old Kickstarter failure, PickParking, from a company called Cubit. http://www.pickparking.com/ They only got $11,000 out of $140,000, not realizing only rich people own private parking spots in places that could actually use this product and rich people don't share and prefer to kill the poor. The entire company has vanished as all communication stopped last year in August and their website still points to their failed kickstarter campaign. Therion posted:One almost succeeded. It does have another magical word in it. Whenever you see a campaign with such a low funding amount it means the creator wants to run the project without any risk at all. Perfect for libertarians that don't want to take responsibility for their disgusting ideas. Yaos has a new favorite as of 15:44 on Jun 1, 2015 |

A few hours ago, I absolutely tore into his The Joe airfreshener pictures and then I gradually became entranced, curious, filled with nostalgia and warm fuzzy feelings for this Texan Kindness Man's humble project. He gazed up at the enormous facebook profile picture. Years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the shadow of his personalized air freshener that hung from his rearview mirror, stitched with the simple phrase - #TheJoe. Oh cruel, needless misunderstanding! Oh stubborn, self-willed exile from the loving breast! Two pizza giveaway-scented tears trickled down the sides of his nose. But it was all right, everything was all right, the struggle was finished. He had won the victory over himself. He loved The Joe.

I was catching up on this thread, it was nice because I could see what happened to some of the kickstarters posted here. I only found one big recent failure not already posted. CST-01, they got a bit over a million bucks to make a watch and hosed it all up. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1655017763/cst-01-the-worlds-thinnest-watch/posts/1221663 "Our manufacturing partner has estimated they’ll need an additional $1.2M from us for them to fulfill our orders.

Zybourne Clock posted:"What kind of backer reward would be appropriate for those who sponsor my Blender classes?" asked Mark to himself while he stuffed his face with another piece of ostrich hickory smoked jerky. quote:Challenges include finding an appropriate facility in a high traffic strip mall, locating good instructors, and IT professional. So Mark here is an ideas man, not even coming up with the money or the teaching himself. I figured he was the instructor and I thought that was nice, a guy trying to start a business passing on his knowledge. But he doesn't know poo poo, and he's apparently just some jerky vendor trying to rip off idiots. fake edit: he's a soccer coach with 29 years experience.

pheasant jerky? The phrase "you will receive five RANDOM pieces of jerky" makes it sound like he's just scooping up whatever is on his counter, which is probably true, but could probably be phrased better.

Alan Smithee posted:Already making its own rounds but maestro filmmaker Uwe Boll is real mad that people stopped giving him money for bad movies I only watched the first film and it was marginally okay and surprisingly good for an Uwe Boll film. I had no idea there was a sequel, mainly because there was no imaginable reason for one. But apparently the sequel has the same score of 63 on imdb as the first movie, so who knows, maybe Uwe was onto something there. His only sin was that he hated video games.
