I’d do this to a conservative celebrity, but for $4000 I could but Kevin Sorbo’s whole sad fucking life.
should require a license to handle your own money. minimum intelligence measurement at least
Oh not at all… he still gave his money to the same charity as someone who would have loved and cherished the guitar, all he’s accomplished is making himself $4000 poorer and being publicly known as a weirdo.
What a waste, children in Africa could have eaten that guitar.
So I watched the video and watched as the guy was handed the hammer with the guitar. Was the auction a chance to destroy the guitar or just the guitar? Cause it looks like the former and the media is just reporting what will piss people off.
Haha what a dick head.
Shame about the guitar, but on the bright side: This seems like a good way to trick conservatives into donating to charities.
- celebrity angers conservatives by being normal
- celebrity donates merch to charity
- charity starts an auction for merch
- conservatives buy it
What a great way to motivate Swifties into voting.
This is just sad. He could have given it to a kid on a cancer ward who loves Taylor Swift. He probably has grandkids who love her music, they could have had it. He surely has kids in his neighbourhood who love her music, could have donated it to a youth music group or something. But this is what he chooses to do with it. To impress a man who still doesn’t know how to apply foundation after 50+ years of using it, apparently just rolling his face across a tableful of it each morning like he’s fingerprinting his head.
If Trump doesn’t even so much as ‘truth’ about this, I think this silly fuck is gonna feel genuine grief. He’s probably expecting a phone call, or even a meeting & photo op next time Trump’s in town. “I spent 4 grand to do this, surely he’ll notice me!”
Sad, sad, sad.
If he has kids or grandkids, chances are they already hate him.
It’s virtue signaling but don’t tell them that or they’ll lose their minds.
If I throw my money away to simp on a e-girl I’ll see some boob. Donny wouldn’t even give dumdum over there the time of day.
I’m pretty sure - wait, hear me out - that Taylor Swift is still able to sign her name, and that - you won’t believe this - other guitars exist.
Big if true. Do you have any sources?
What a fucking weirdo for smashing a guitar with a hammer
I thought Republicans had angry down. This guy can’t even do angry right.
Without a doubt the dorkiest way to smash a guitar.
I can’t think of a less rock and roll way to destroy a guitar.
A smaller hammer
Knife and fork
See at first I was with you but then again these things work in cycles. I think by the time you get to knife and fork it turns into art again.
Yeah, if you just smash it, it’s about the smashing, when you use a tool, the focus shifts to the tool, and a regular shop hammer is just… bland in a way a knife and fork aren’t.
Okay, you have a point, but still… if you’re going to smash a guitar and you don’t go all The Who on it, what’s even the point?
That only works with acoustics. Electrics don’t go KABONG!
Spork
Depends. Do they eat it?
True.
Ahh, how shall I do it? Oh, I know!
I’ll have Taylor Swift sign a guitar, a harmless little guitar! And then, I’ll put that guitar in a box, and then I’ll put that box inside of another box, then I’ll auction that box to myself and when I win it…
AHAHA! I’LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!
It’s brilliant brilliant brilliant, I tell you! Genius, I say!
Or, to save on postage, I could poison myself WITH THIS!"
Jeff Jarret is somewhere shaking his head
I just saw Jeff Jarret fail to his knees in a piggly widdly
Huh… So that’s what Bansky looks like.
I know Weirdo is the current kinda forced (IMO) word we’re hurling at the magas these days, but that kind of behavior is legit weird. Like really weird.
There’s obviously the “some people have more money than brains” angle of dropping 4K on something so you can destroy it.
Then there’s the “I’m a grown-ass man, and I’m so insecure about a female celebrity endorsing a politician I disagree with that I’m going to drop 4K so that I can publicly and in front of cameras showcase that insecurity for the entire world to see, while gloating and being proud of it” angle. (Which by the way, smoothbrain magas, serves to amplify her endorsement, not diminish it.)
I can’t promise I’m not going to drive around with “Fuck Donald Trump” blaring and my windows down all during election day and the day after (regardless of outcome), but I’m not going to spend $4k for the privilege, and I’m sure as hell not going to do it for an assembled audience.
It’s not really forced imo. Waltz called them weird conversationally and it just kinda stuck. Likely because it fits so well.
I agree that it’s fitting and the word should have been applied to them sooner. However, I definitely think some folks and journalists go out of their way to use the word. I’m not even saying there is anything wrong with that, just acknowledging that sometimes it feels a little forced.
Congratulations, you’ve noticed the cracks in the simulation.
It sounds forced because it is forced as a completely transparent DNC strategy play.
Except they stole that from the left, too. Mainstream leftists have been calling liberals and right wingers weird for literal years before Walz even entered the national conversation. Libs have just turned around and projected it onto CHUDs.
Weird how I just can’t stop finding parallels between libs and MAGA.
You’re not half as smart as you fancy yourself to be.
that kind of behavior is legit weird
This kind of “buy things to destroy them so other people can’t have it” protests from the petite bourgeois are nothing new, though.
They’re just expressions of rage by people with more money than empathy.
I maintain that calling them Redcaps, basically an especially spiteful and nasty kind of goblin, is the most fitting way to label them
Ferengi. They embody the ferengi from star Trek to me. Regardless, neither of ours works because they are nerdy references a good deal of them don’t understand. They understand being called weird though, and it gets under their skin. That’s the important bit. I wouldn’t care if someone called me that, but it damn sure bothers them, so that’s what they’re called even though other words fit better, like rape apologists.
Oho good one! I never made that connection until now 👏
I’d be willing to bet he owns many things but has a very deep debt.
There’s also the “If you’re gonna smash a guitar, go Townsend on it, don’t use a hammer” angle.
The sign in the background says “wildgame dinner”.
I’m guessing this is some redneck hunters group that either auctioned that off to be destroyed on stage, or he bought it in his own time for this act.
These kind of people live to hate libs. It’s one of their favorite passtimes.
In that context, this seems totally normal.
It’s the Side A to the Side B of the same old record.
Imagine this 65 year old man, sitting at home listing to All Too Well, because he could really relate to dating a Jake Gyllenhaal type, then Taylor tweets that she’s all in for Harris, and his world comes crashing down.
I had to look this thing up, but it’s pretty much exactly what I expected
This almost feels like satire good lord
See this looks pretty alright to me. The company might not always be the best but you get to try different wild game. The cooking photo is just them taking a silly photo. And you know why I really want to go: Talking to a crowd of people if “stick a pig” is the funniest thing ever or 100% serious.
You do know that the whole ‘hunting wild game’ thing they’re talking about is hunting captive animals in what is essentially a wild animal farm, right? They’re not all taking trips to the Serengetti. They’re shooting those animals right there in Texas. It’s disgusting.
This is just like the chicken-hawk conservative dipshits buying expensive French wine just so they could publicly pour it down a storm drain in front of reporters. And all because France didn’t agree with the invasion of Iraq (which we now know was founded on lies).
Time truly is a closed loop.
They did it with beer as well, when the beer company didn’t express enough hatred of LGBTQ+ people. Bought lots of their beer to teach them a lesson by not drinking it. And I seem to remember them doing it with shoes at one point.
Although at least this time they can’t seem to be able to shake the ‘weird’ label. This won’t help.
It’s like the emperor’s new clothes. They can’t shake the label because they are just genuinely weird fuckers.
