Which pushes out more flammable liquid as it ignites. The girl is lucky the bottle wasn't bigger. No Schadenfreude here, person gets severely burned in restaurant when waitress refills BBQ grill or a heating thingy, nsfw nms etc.: https://i.makeagif.com/media/6-10-2015/2WAsLr.gif

Mikl posted:lmao It's cheered me up no end. Proper schadenfreude. My faves from an embedded reporter: https://twitter.com/WNFIV/status/857821554368970752 https://twitter.com/WNFIV/status/857826106237497344 (I am desperately hoping that this notebook is real. The little circular dotting of the i's and rising sense of thisisfine panic feels a bit too good to be true) https://twitter.com/WNFIV/status/857774660439724032 That said, Billy McFarland - the likely brains behind this con - is an old-school huckster in a young man's body, and sadly will probably fall on his feet. The first I heard of him, he was in trouble for hiring swanky venues for parties, which naturally left them trashed: https://nypost.com/2015/06/28/tech-bro-sued-for-trashing-13k-a-month-west-village-pad/ He has had this coming for a few years, and I expect the full story will involve tickets to this festival being offered as compensation to peeved Magnises members who’ve been rooked by McFarland in the past. It’s clever of him to have built up a protective wall of oblivious celebrity endorsers, though. This may look like a disorganised clusterfuck run by starry-eyed dreamers, but in reality, a guy like him is quite capable of engineering something like this to spread the media and legal fallout from his privilege-card Ponzi scheme.

Wasabi the J posted:The man in a hero for fleecing rich kids. He's certainly ingenious. $250 dollars a year to own a black, metallic card (rapidly switched to an app) that's the mysterious talisman to the Cool Kids' Club? I almost wish I'd come up with it myself. In reality, Magnises seems to have mainly been a way to rebrand scalped tickets and sell them to a captive audience of people who'd gladly buy scalped tickets, if only they could kid themselves that they were actually getting some sort of exclusive access. I'd be interested to learn how many people paid anything like the full quoted ticket price for this. Anyway, this is the Schadenfreude thread -- if McFarland eventually gets it in the wallet, as well as his marks, then my happiness will be complete.

I need to give Billy MacFarland a call. I have some ideas about bunk audiophile products and creating a reality show wherein rich kids think they're going to an exclusive resort but it turns out it's an empty island with cameras and a Bear Grylls impersonator who keeps telling them to drink their urine.

To be fair, ICP knows full well what would happen if they didn't take all possible measures to contain the over the top disgusting grossness of their fanbase. If they didn't take that seriously the first Gathering would have been the last.

It's like something out of a J. G. Ballard novel. A bunch of glamorous but dislikeable neuveau riche go to a luxury resort cut off from their lesser humans only for the glamorous veneer to crack as order disintegrates, and soon a pack of feral dogs are watching men in $500 sunglasses - now useless but worn as a totem of a forgotten world - fight over cheese in the flickering light of a burning rubbish pyre. People are calling it rich-kid Lord of the Flies but it's clearly High-Rise on an island and it's loving incredible.
