One of the benefits of working from home is I'll run a show that I'm mildly interested in the background while working. So I see a bunch of media talking about how both Netflix and Hulu have both released documentary shows about the ill-fated Fyre Festival. If you're not aware, look it up; if there's seminal example of millennial's doing stupid, Fyre Festival wins the prize. This show really highlighted both the gall and know-nothingness of the organizers, and the gullibility of the ticket/concert buyers. Most of those interviewed are complicit in bilking people out of their money. The people who attended are equally guilty of the Insta-Whore culture that's developed around social media and the need to be first in-line for a trend with the wealthy and famous. The many contractors left holding the bag should've been smart enough to recognize the shit-show that was developing, pop'd smoke and got-out ..but they didn't, they went along for some actually enabling. If you got 90-minutes to kill and want to laugh at a bunch of 20-30 somethings... | ||

Ah yes. Fyre Festival. Where some 20-something trust fund jackhole decided he could make a bunch more money by trying to slap together a highfalutin music festival for other 20-something trust fund jackholes, and failed miserably, resulting in a whole slew of whiny 20-something trust fund jackholes being stranded on an island, plus $20-something million in missing investor funding, and the original 20-something trust fund jackhole eventually getting 20-something years in federal poundyouintheass prison for wire fraud. Life's tough, 20-something trust fund jackholes. Get a helmet. | |||

I have been showing my employees the "take one for the team" scene to show them how good they have it here.  | |||

I saw the Netflix one a few days ago. What a fucking joke the entire thing was. Until I watched it I did not know that “influencer” was a thing. But apparently you can make stupid amounts of money “influencing” a bunch of millenial mushheads. This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears above ground he is a protector. Plato | |||

The beauty and pitfalls of social media. It's the new economy where large number of lawmakers (see Congressional hearings) and the public, haven't wrapped their head around what's going on, meanwhile those who have, are doing nothing but...taking pics, hitting send and cashing checks. The gullible and impressionable are simply willful pawns and their stupidity was played-out in the Bahamas. | |||

My wife has been watching those lately. I heard about it a couple of a years ago on the Adam Carolla podcast Reasonable Doubt with Mark Gerigos who is involved in the post litigation. _________________________ OH, Bonnie McMurray! | |||

I watched the one on Netflix and found it worth the watch. Telling how many people were willing to turn a blind eye to what was going on. | |||

Just watched both the Hulu doc and the Netflix one. These were an absolute hoot. If you want to see what FUBAR looks like, check out these films. I laughed myself silly. And I really do recommend watching both films. They kinda give two different perspectives of the same crap storm. ~Alan Acta Non Verba NRA Life Member (Patron) God, Family, Guns, Country Men will fight and die to protect women... because women protect everything else. ~Andrew Klavan | |||
