Fraudster who organized the first one got out of jail and has decided to have another go at it. Given the recent track record of crazy festivals for rich assholes, I eagerly await the impending disaster.

Surely if there’s no other options at all he could sell a few hot dogs

Sending doobie to an Afro-Caribbean island seems like a thing that would end...... poorly.

This is a real baity headline. They've sold 100 tickets and "according to their website" the first release was sold out.

Great job NBC.

Care to elaborate? I've heard him say some questionable stuff about the environment and whatnot but I figured that was because he was boomer generation and Australian.

I don't know if he's explicitly a full nazi or anything but he used to be very /pol/ or /v/ adjacent, but that was years ago so I don't know if that's still the case at all.

it isnt out of the realm of possibility that enough influencers and all gas no breaks wannabes buy tickets hoping for another disaster they can document and profit from on social media. enough people are delusional enough or have enough disposable income to chase tiktok fame that way

I just did a quick search. Yeah, something about his bikelock fugitive of berkeley video made me uneasy but I just ignored it at the time. Figured he was just trying to appeal to a younger audience of people who laughed at all things political.

I'm not a huge fan of hbomberguy but I'll give his video on the subject a look. Unless it's 2 hours long, as usual.

e: gently caress, it's almost four hours long.

The video wasn't even entirely about the Internet Historian and only covered him for a (relatively) short time, it's just that his chud fans pissed themselves because the segment included screencaps of them blaming Jewish people for the plagiarized video getting taken down, so they pretended the whole four hours was a woke hit-piece against their favorite Youtuber.

But anyway enough about that guy, what does everyone think they'll serve for lunch at Fyre Festival 2? Personally I'm hoping for those crappy square pizzas they used to serve to elementary kids. You can make bank off nostalgia.

I've decided to watch something else. The Infographics Show has a new video up; Why you should NEVER play with voodoo dolls.

I'm sure it's going to contain lots of useful information that I can apply in the real world, like how I can defeat and survive Jason Voorhees.

Should be fun!

Wasn't there already a breakdown on this like a year ago? Where essentially he went to prison as a fraudster and he gets out to immediately start frauding again with festival 2.0? I doubt anyone bought a ticket and it's just a way to drive interest.

Wake me up when he's serving cold cheese sandwiches again.
