THE PUNCHLINE OF the internet this week has undoubtedly been Fyre Festival.
Ja Rule and his business partner set up the luxury festival and it was due to get going this week in the Bahamas.
But quite literally everything has gone wrong:
It cost $3,495 for a ticket (with some going waaaay beyond that) – and from the food to the celebrity endorsements, it’s all gone to shite.
And of course the internet has gone in hard on the whole debacle:
1. The sheer amount of things that have gone wrong makes this the biggest train wreck of 2017
Worth a Google – or just read this breakdown.
2. There was a certain amount of schadenfreude given the demographic who signed up for it
3. Who was running this?
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
4. Ja Rule has made the 1% a laughing stock
5. The lack of supplies was also a major talking point and inspiration for jokes
6. Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Emily Ratajkowski and other influencers had promoted the festival when it was launched last year – so they’ve been the subject of so many jokes overnight
7. It’s not been a great PR month in fairness
8. There has been so much shade thrown
9. There have been fake updates from Ja Rule saying it was all a social experiment
10. We feel like we’ve seen this before
11. This could be the plot of a particularly bad horror movie
12. Too many parallels
13. This (genuine) photo of the food on offer needs only one review
14. Twitter has been awash with people pointing out the potential irony of the outrage
15. Some lines just won’t work down at Fyre Fest
16. We all know the solution to this
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
17. It’s really the gift that keeps on giving (unless you were unfortunate enough to actually book tickets and go)
It’s the “luxury party that turned into the hunger games”:
What a disaster.
