So there are two products that Fyre was peddling. The fundamental product was the app, which I guess allowed people to book talent for events? The second product was the Fyre Festival, which was supposed to bring attention and PR for the app. I’m guessing most of the people on that phone call we’re employees working…

It’s almost like he thinks he’s doing them a favor. Don’t worry, we’re not firing anyone. We just can’t pay you. If you’d like to work for free, we’ll make that happen.

Right? The balls on that guy! “We can’t make any commitments” but if you want to work for free, we’ll figure out a way to make that happen. Like he’s doing them a favor!!!

I think he was saying that all employees would eventually get paid up to the date of the announcement. “We will do everything we can to make sure it’s covered up to today.” But for those who choose not to resign and “stick it out” they couldn’t “make any commitments.” Basically, from this point forward, we’re not…

Did they actually get paid? Maybe Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, but didn’t most of the “Fyrestarters” get paid with free admission to the festival? lolol

Maybe I misunderstood, but I think they said they would pay everyone eventually, up to the day of the announcement. But they couldn’t “make any commitments” that people would get paid for their work after that day? I don’t see how the second part is legal at all. We’re not firing you, you can total volunteer to…

I don’t think Nicole was that bad at all. She was paying attention to Giada, she followed along with the recipe, and she asked questions about the recipe. Asking how to make risotto in the first place is a valid question! And she backed her timer response with a question about to know they’re done without a timer.

Yeah. Like Nicole was actually watching what Giada was doing and trying to follow the recipe. And her questions were totally justified. Where do you get the risotto? How do you know how long to cook this without a timer? And Giada was too busy dealing with Ellen to really answer that.

I watched a vlog from one of the festival goers, and it sounds like all the surrounding resorts were completely booked, so in terms of shelter they were stuck. To get back to the airport, it looked like the chartered buses took them.

It sounds like the festival organizers only solution was to get everyone wasted. People wondering where their rooms were? Give them some booze. People pissed at the food? Give them some booze. People want to know what’s going on? Give them some booze. Of course people were looting and rioting. They were all drunk…

New deets!

New deets!

Iunno. Chris Hemsworth, at least in the facial region, looks a lot like Chris Pine. I mean, Hemsworth did play Pine’s dad in Star Trek after all.

The ads I’m getting are oddly appropriate.

No no no. Those who partake in Coachella have to stay in hotels and eat at artisan food trucks and pop ups. At Fyre Festival there are villas, and yachts and first class culinary delights. Anyone can drive to LA, but you gotta take a fancy airplane or boat to Fyre. And who wants to touch dirty cash when you can…

Are you joking? Please tell me you’re joking.

It’s supposed to be Coachella for rich people. They want the exclusivity and the luxury so they can lord it over their poor friends that can only afford Bonnaroo and Burning Man.

When people say Hillary has “baggage” they really mean a “vagina.” Everything bad Hillary did, Trump did 10x worst. None of the Trump supporters cared about Trumps issues because he’s a man and it showed initiative, and power, and gumption, and blah blah blah. Who care’s that he screwed over black people, small…

That’s pretty bullshit that people have to “apply” for a refund. Like that would make sense for people who paid by like cash or check, I guess, but I’m sure the vast majority of these folks paid with credit. Why not automatically refund everyone. They’re asking for that lawsuit.

Exactly. Everyone in this story was weird. Why would you agree to host a mystery guest? How did the Facebook folks tasked with finding some salt of the earth people for Mark Zuckerberg to have dinner with actually go about it? A craigslist ad? Did they tell the family that they won a sweepstakes? Did they pay…
