Remember how we all laughed at the influencers when they got duped into the world’s most awful music experience at Fyre Festival? How we all snorted at the dry-ass cheese sandwiches, hell-scapes, bedlam and tall talk from founder Billy McFarland?

Well, someone tell the meme-makers and shitposters, because it’s coming back according to McFarland. Maybe we should have said ‘disgraced founder’ who, indeed, has been in prison because of the amount of fraud he did.

He tweeted the news, of course.

Of course, McFarland got rinsed almost immediately, and when asked why he shouldn’t still be in jail for all of this, he flatly and earnestly replied: “It’s in the best interest of those I owe for me to be working. People aren’t getting paid back if I sit on the couch and watch TV. And because I served my time.”

However, you’re not arsed about McFarland, a bunch of models or Ja Rule are you? You want to know what Andy King is doing with all this news aren’t you? If you’re wondering if Andy King is who you think it is, you’re right.

He tweeted rather enthusiastically, clearly still revelling from his experience as a full time meme.

And if you’re going to have a go at desperately hustling again, and making for potentially the most cringeworthy festival in the world, then you have to make eyes at Elon Musk don’t you? You have to plead for his attention and say that Fyre Fest 3 needs to be in space lol only kidding or am I? but seriously just joking around unlessssssss? nah just joshing around haha but maybe? haha lol etc

In McFarland’s defence, he’s served his time after pleading guilty to multiple counts of fraud relating to the disastrous event. How much time? Four years. Earlier this year, he detailed how he plans to repay the millions of dollars he owes to investors. He said: “Here’s how I’m going to pay it back: I spend half my time filming TV shows. The other half, I focus on what I’m really, really good at. I’m the best at coming up with wild creative, getting talent together, and delivering the moment.”

He genuinely included a number to text him on as well. Gee whizz.

In the meantime, he’ll be cracking on with his latest business venture which kicked off last year. It’s called PYRT and is basically a treasure hunt in the Bahamas. Geddit? PYRT is pronounced ‘pirate’ and it’s a mix of “online fully immersed events” and real-life stuff. Online, in this case, means the metaverse.

He said of it: “We’ll launch a live virtual replica of the island where anybody from around the world can not only watch what’s happening live, but they can actually come together with their friends to affect and have the real-world adventures.”

Seriously, what ever happened to just getting an office job and paying off your debts and stopping this influencer baiting bollocks? What ever happened to doing disco shifts on a bar and not PISSING AROUND ALL THE TIME?

Anyways, whatever. There may well be future opportunities to roll your eyes with all this because, it just shows you, there’s not enough bullying in the world.
