pseudanonymous posted:The implication of that quote is that Jim Davis has received less well-rounded concepts from the restaurant industry sector. They were probably just "boring" normal family-themed restaurants with tapered expectations or A Pack of Kobolds posted:he means checks that end in fewer zeroes. This is probably the craziest of the bunch and clearly some "creative" business planning with a truckload of Saudi money backing it.

Is it some weird kind of money laundering, like they want to have Loony's so they set up suppliers for this insane pizza entergagement, and they buy stuff from their suppliers are jacked up prices and the restaraunt fails but they've gotten the money in and they can.. I dunno buy Canadian politicians or something? And the fact it's so garish and stupid is like their defense that it can't be money laundering?

There are two types of people, the ones whose idea of horror is Garfield only he's a spooky monster and also a video game and the ones whose idea of horror is a billionaire failson who thinks you can solve global warming by using your Garfacchino cup as a pencil holder

I hope this is connected to the Trump family somehow. Like Jim Davis being a mega chud and this is saudi payoff for publishing pro-Trump Garfields. Maybe the dumb one of the Trump sons bought Garfield stocks? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

On the other hand, considering how rich his dad is and how much money has been thrown at him to succeed in his various dumbass dreams, if any one of us was currently homeless and addicted to pain pills, we would still be less of a failure than this guy

This guy runs some kinda Garfield Youtube channel and sees all sorts of synergistic and entergagemental opportunities: https://youtu.be/pK1tfTCqKaE?t=45 And from the man himself: https://youtu.be/mXS0Umo84HE?t=513 I'm not listening to this whole thing, but here's a bit about apps and blockchain and poo poo, and what they mean for a cartoon-based pizza establishment in the times we live in: https://youtu.be/mXS0Umo84HE?t=606

there's one piece of this puzzle that defies my explanation entirely. reading about this piece of poo poo restaurant gives me an awful headache and the whole thing seems like an artifact from a fever dream. but i swear to god my 79-year-old mother's partner referenced a restaurant just like this in april. and here's the weird thing - i don't live anywhere near toronto. the guy is an 81-year-old former surgeon so he's pretty intelligent and not at all dementing or anything, but in april when i visited the two of them (my mother + her octegenarian boyfriend) he randomly dropped some observation about a garfield-themed pizza restaurant into the conversation, mentioning that it was in brisbane or beaudesert in queensland, australia  , and said it was appropriate because garfield liked pizza so much. i was going to correct him at that moment because everyone knows garfield is all about lasagna, not pizza, but i figured i might as well let it slide because he's a cantankerous old man and i don't correct him about climate change not existing and all that.but a cursory search reveals that there is no such thing as a garfield-themed pizza restaurant anywhere in australia and either he was exhibiting signs of early dementia which strangely predicted this hallucinatory mess of a restaurant, or the mandela effect is real and this is concrete proof

The original Dubai launch of Garfield Eats got a fair amount of wacky puff piece coverage at the time, I can imagine an old man poorly recalling a factoid from the news would get his details wrong.

I wonder how long he can operate at a loss, since most restaurants are advised to expect to be in the red for their first year and all profit margins are razor-thin. And Garfield Eats, of course, is no ordinary restaurant.

And everything about this is so loving stupid it's kind of unbelievable. I mean if this was a viral prank by all these media outlets and there was no real location I dont think i'd be surprised.
