 I’m not even really sure where to start with this but I will attempt to summarize. For maximum entertagement, I strongly recommend you read the original thread located here …but I will attempt to give you the CliffsNotes version of it: What began as one man’s quest to sell Garfield-shaped pizzas to the masses as the world’s youngest Garfield licensee has become the pinnacle of cutting-edge entertagement. The restaurant itself was located in downtown Toronto, featured mobile app ordering, and a video of Garfield-creator, Jim Davis speaking on an endless loop blaring through speakers while inside. If you can make it more than 2 minutes into the following video, then buckle up! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ys9Q3PQH_nQ  Food and Wine Magazine did a nice(?) write-up of GarfieldEats which you can read here The establishment’s proprietor, one Mr. Nathen Mazri is the GOB Bluth-like son of an extremely wealthy middle eastern businessman. He also has impeccable taste in suits:   Sadly, GarfieldEats wasn’t meant to be and was shuttered due to COVID, landmonsters and the extremely limited market for terrible pizza in the shape of Garfield’s head along with lasagnas with orange sauce (no, really).  Not to worry though because Mr. Mazri was just getting started! Here are some highlights from the previous thread. Note that some of this will be difficult to document as Nathen tends to immediately forget about projects once he starts them and lets associated media evaporate into the ether: Nathen wrote a book entitled “Arabiolosis”. A summary and discussion begins here. At some point, Viacom acquired the license to Garfield from Jim Davis. At first, Nathen was cautiously optimistic about retaining his license for the Garfield IP, however Viacom took one look at what Nathen was doing with Garfield and immediately terminated his license. Nathen did not take this well. The prevailing theory is that they saw THIS (Warning: Extremely NMS), and that was the end of that. While in mourning, Nathen founded ScoobyEats which sold An extremely awkward talk show? I hear people asking "What is Eegeez" all the time and man, let me tell you Nobody knows! Not even Nathen! Farm2plate deodorant? The wonderful world of NFTs Not weird enough for you? Witness the birth of Nathfield! He is here to cleanse this bitch of an earth! Exhibit 1 Exhibit 2 Exhibit 3 Nathen tries to make a Garfield dark comedy movie/documentary without a Garfield license. He had Steven Spielberg attached to direct and a soundtrack by Nick Cave. The dating show where the winner will marry Nathen The Nathfield project is scaled down from a cartoon to a podcast/radio play-type thing with voice actors he hired off of Fiverr. It can be found on both Spotify and Apple Play and I will warn you ahead of time that they are utter lunacy. Only 3 episodes were ever made (so far) but summaries of these can be found starting here: Episode 1 Summary Episode 2 Summary Episode 3 Summary Garfield-related paraphernalia auction including the magical orange suit. Finally, that brings us to the present where NathenEATS! has launched which is an art exhibit and not a restaurant. I hope you enjoy Cereal boxes and coloring This thread only has a couple rules that mostly go without saying (but y’know, goons): • Do not touch the poop – IE Don’t bother Nathen IRL, don’t join his discords, don’t participate in anything that could be construed as harassment. Just leave him and his many, many projects alone. The one exception to this is that you may marry Nathen if he will have you. • Don’t turn this into Kiwifarms. Nathen is undeniably weird and holds some reprehensible opinions, but mean-spirited bullshit isn’t funny.  Here there be dragons. Peruse this thread at your own risk

I should also mention that better than half of the projects listed in the OP either never got off the ground or were abandoned immediately without fanfare or explanation immediately after launch. The dating game would have been awesome but it never got past sign-ups. A reasonable amount of money and effort(?) was spent on the podcasts only to be abandoned after episode 4 was teased and then never spoken of again. Oh and there was also a huge “clean label” website that appeared in tandem with NathenEats where he had some folks on the board who seemed more “serious” for lack of a better term. Their aim was to lobby the FDA in the US for better food labeling requirements which was a little odd since they were all Canadian but whatever. It too just vanished one day with no explanation.

Peanut Butter posted:You know in hindsight I'm kind of impressed he managed to finish Arabiolosis and actually open GarfEats without just dropping the idea ceremoniously. Modern Nathen just doesn't have that kind of commitment to his nonsense ideas. I'm pretty sure the book was his first "project". He was doing speaking engagements almost a decade ago. Imagine some big fortune 500 paying for Nathen as its keynote speaker on some corporate retreat lol. Hilariously, googling "Nathen Mazri speaker fee" led me to a previously unseen Medium.com article he wrote: https://medium.com/@nathenmazri/the-rise-of-qmr-the-fall-of-qsr-4649872a454c and his byline reads "Founder of Egeez App / Author / Public Speaker / Entrepreneur / aka GarfieldEATS Guy 😻" quote:A new set of capabilities emerged to re-create, re-structure, and re-build our digital world to become an interconnected society, but interdependent on data, forever, even for the giant tech companies such as Netflix, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, AirBnB and many more codependent on large amount of raw data. Without it, they will seize to exist and so will you! oh no! Halfway through the article he just inexplicably shifts gears into an ad for GarfieldEATS with no explanation. oh my god, and he provides us with the formula for total entertagement (this is huge) quote:Total Entergagement = Frank Frank fucked around with this message at 13:59 on Jun 21, 2023 |

He also makes a point of making sure everyone knows he was 27 in 2019 in this article which is a claim that is dubious at best. E: Lmao his only other medium article is entitled, "Google Reviews Destroy Young Entrepreneurship". Oh wow this whole thing is gold: quote:Harmful reviewers are bullies. They can’t let it go, forgive, forget or just shut up if they have nothing nice to say at all. I would respect a reviewer who says your sauce requires more work or your pizza crust tastes better when thick or balancing a review between a positive and a negative, which gives the review weight, credibility, and respect. We do not flag those! Words may hurt and of course as we now know, they may also cause suicides among bullied teenagers. Shouldn’t freedom of REVIEW on the internet by bloggers, customers, and other users be monitored to increase trust among the readers or potential customers and stakeholders. I can think of a few already, but who do I speak to? Is there an agency, regulated institution or bureau that can enforce such programs and procedures on the internet or do I simply speak to the monopolistic organizations, responsible for impacting our societies immensely such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, or other publishers and media power houses? https://medium.com/@nathenmazri/google-reviewcs-destroy-young-entrepreneurship-add2929d5668 Frank Frank fucked around with this message at 14:02 on Jun 21, 2023 |

Knormal posted:He retweeted Tucker Carlson's return to the world tweet, and has retweeted Ian Michael Chong in the past. He's not as bad as Andrew Tate, that's a pretty high bar, but he definitely sucks. He changed his mind on that one once he got Covid, went to the hospital and posted a bunch on his own IG pretending to be the nurse taking care of him (as in, the “nurse” was literally posting to his IG feed on his phone). He’s just terminally online and regurgitates whatever he reads on social media. He’s also rich and detached from reality which is probably his greatest sin. Oh and he’s antisemetic but that’s probably because he hates his step mother who happens to be Jewish (seriously) He says whatever he thinks will get people to like him and pay attention to him online.

Duckman2008 posted:Lol I bet he felt super clever making this dumb comic too. It's not even a joke? It's just "hurr stupid pigman thinks power button is any key" Interestingly, that's not the main Nathfield IG account. He has another that has more stuff on it including demo reels from the "podcast" etc. I think he just lost the login to this one or forgot about it. I'm still laughing that NathfieldEATS was almost a thing.

david_a posted:It’s quite simple, straightforward, and unambiguous actually, here’s a copy-n-paste from the website: Yes but WHY is this needed? Big companies like disney don't need Nathen as a middleman to sell merch. They already have licensing agreements with distributors. Who are you selling this to? Distributors and big licensees don't need this poo poo either. They aren't going to use some tiny web app for this sort of thing and it's not like Disney just licenses Mickey Mouse out to some dude who wants to sell stuffed animals or w/e. Also jfc Nathen: quote:Always lowest prices for licensed stuff, Phucket, I'm buying from Egeez. It's not like there's anywhere else to buy from. "Phucket" indeed. It's essentially a marketplace for people who already hold IP licenses and in the small print somewhere, Nathen says he won't help you negotiate a license. It's just a marketplace you can use to sell your licensed brand merch. All Nathen is doing is A) Verifying that you (the seller) have a valid license and B) providing you with e-commerce poo poo you probably already have a better version of elsewhere. This can't be a huge market. I still don't understand who the target audience is for this. It sorta makes sense from a consumer point of view for that extremely small subset of people who absolutely do not want knockoff Mickey dolls, but those people are going to go straight to one of Disney's online retail partners and not gently caress around with some app. The ONLY way this would make sense is if Eegeez was partnered with the actual license holders and lmao that will never ever happen.

This came in at the tail end of the last thread, but for a very small window of time there was a website linked from Nathen's main website called "Clean Label Product" and this was the "Board" tab on that page: The site has since been taken down and all references to it have been scrubbed. I will ask again though, what is Nathen doing with his hands? E: Site was https://www.cleanlabelproduct.com/
