It was suppose to be a music festival in paradise. For between $1,000 to $12,000 participants were to have luxury accommodations in The Bahamas and watch acts like Blink 182, Major Lazer and other dance and rap acts that appeal to wealthy millennials. What they got was emergency relief tents on a beach and cheese sandwiches.
Hahahaha what a bunch of suckers! Schadenfreude!
Found this about that

Just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Another lonely day, with no one here but me, oh
More loneliness than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair, oh
I’ll send an S.O.S. to the world
I’ll send an S.O.S. to the world
I hope that someone gets my
Message in a bottle, yeah
Sounds like just the place one would find Malia Obama. Please let it be so, Lord.
At least everybody got a volleyball that they could name and it might become their best friend…
What a bunch of spoiled crybabies.
Wait, how can they criticize this festival as a failure?
Maybe it identifies as a success? Did they even ask? Did they even consider that this festival’s standard for success is just as legitimate as other festivals’ different standards?
They sound intolerant and bigoted.
I guess the important thing is that a bunch of gullible Millennials got their very first taste of the real world, and they didn’t like it at all.
They’re probably lucky they weren’t killed and eaten by the locals.

“Let’s just do it and be legends, man.”
Ok then.
“I cannot explain how or why the bros running this festival ignored every warning sign they were given along the way. The writing was on the wall. I saw it firsthand six weeks ago. They overlooked so many very basic things. And baby, they forgot to make me sign an NDA”
And yet he stayed. Maybe the first clue was the lexicon. Bros indeed.

Well, for six weeks before Fryemageddon, anyway.
Sum Ting Wong!
What’s that old saying ’bout a fool and their money? I’m laughing my ass off at these idiots. They couldn’t handle cheese sandwiches. You’d think that bread, cheese and a good whine would be the start of a dinner party for these morons.
Ja Rule has betrayed us!

willygoatgruff,
Wilson should have gotten a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. He really knows how to emote!
good. f$*k’em
I read about this a few days ago and was fascinated. These imbeciles were shelling out thousands of dollars under the wildly mistaken assumption that they were gonna be boinking super models on beaches.
Hey, where’s my gravitar?
Oh, there it is.
Isn’t there an old axiom; A fool , likely with my tax dollars are soon parted.

That’s why I buy beer.
What the millenials throwing the party did’nt get, was that they had to actually throw a party !!! I can see them whipping out the cell’s to call Daddy to fix it.

> They’re probably lucky they weren’t killed and eaten by the locals.
Yes, they are. The rest of us, not so much.
Much like my generation has the”Survivors of Woodstock” (who weren’t within hundredsof miles) the Millenials will now have the “Survivors of Fyre”. Both groups of “survivors ” will have learned the best stories of experiences and they will proudly tell what it was like to have been there!
By this time next year, I expect at least 20 thousand of the 2 or 3 thousand attendees will have repeated the story of their travails at the Fyre Festival
Well Woodstock wasn’t perfect either. (Mud, bad acid and so on.) But the price was right, and there was real music.
Beach yoga? Egyptian cotton? Seriously?!
I would assume most of the *individuals* who attended this clusterfuck were either rich assholes, or did it on mommy’s dime.
I suspect they were mainly Bernie! or cankles supporters.
I doubt they learned anything from this, and most will sign up again for next year’s event.
In Haiti. Or maybe Somalia…
PT Barnum was right.
