UPDATE: Apparently the guitar was not signed (or certified) by Taylor Swift afterall. 🤣
It reminds me of the weirdoes buying wine to splill it down the drain when France had the audacity of telling the truth in the un during the whole Irak mess. Of course the wine makers and sellers were fine with that.
Or all the
homophobestransphobesweirdos who bought a bunch of bud light only to shoot it afterfox news told them to be absolutely outraged over a limited edition 6 pack in canada that they never would have heard about otherwiseweirdos who bought a bunch of bud light only to shoot it after
In fairness, a bud light can being ripped apart by a .22 hollow point is a pretty awesome sight. And what else is canned horse piss good for?
at least go Boston tea party and steal it
“Look what I did for you my Cheeto Jesus! 🙋♂️”
$4000 dollars to hate, $0 for love.
I’d do this to a conservative celebrity, but for $4000 I could buy Kevin Sorbo’s whole sad fucking life.
You know the difference between Kevin Sorbo and a fishing lure?
A fishing lure gets cast.
Lots of money to make one look silly.
She endorsed a lady for prez, so we should performatively destroy things linked with her. It totally makes sense. /s
Sigh…
It’s hardly even linked to her. Like she has no connection to the guitar, it means nothing. I always wonder what’s in these people’s heads. It’s easy to say nothing, but he had this idea, he thought it’s a good idea, he maybe even told someone about that idea, he had time to think about his idea, and still thought it’s a good idea?
That $4,000 could have bought him a damn nice vacation in the Caribbean.
The caribbean? You mean around those … looks around black people ???
/s if it’s really needed.
The West Indies? The home of Kamala Harris’s Dad? How can she be black if both parents are Indian? /s
Weirdos…
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
Not only that, they increase demand for the product, driving up the price
What a fucking weirdo for smashing a guitar with a hammer
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.
Knife and fork
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?
Boomerang was just shut down this week. RIP
That only works with acoustics. Electrics don’t go KABONG!
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.
Spork
Depends. Do they eat it?
A smaller hammer
He looks old enough to remember them bands from the 60s and 70s, now THEY knew how to smash a guitar (it has been too long and I am not looking up which band(s) did it hehe)
The Who
Yes, who was the band?
No, I don’t think The Band was ever known for smashing instruments.
Yes, who was the band known for smashing instruments?
I don’t think Yes was either…
THANK YOU!
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!"
I thought Republicans had angry down. This guy can’t even do angry right.
Jeff Jarret is somewhere shaking his head
I just saw Jeff Jarret fail to his knees in a piggly wiggly
What a waste, children in Africa could have eaten that guitar.
Probably the second reason he destroyed it.
The hammer is still fine
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.
It’s virtue signaling but don’t tell them that or they’ll lose their minds.
If he has kids or grandkids, chances are they already hate him.
Ok, we’re going to grandpa’s. Leave your tablets & phones in the car. Don’t talk about music, church, politics, school, rainbows, libraries, pronouns, anyone gay or trans, tv shows, or really anything. See if Grandma can turn on an old Disney movie, any that came out before you were born, and we’ll leave right after lunch.
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.
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.
I tried to “fix” the misleading headlines with my title as most sites make it sound like it was Taylor Swift’s own guitar that she signed. Sensational and highly inaccurate is what 99% of current media does now. Gotta get those clicks.
What a great way to motivate Swifties into voting.
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.
It’s the Side A to the Side B of the same old record.
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?
She should sign hammers
“PAY ATTENTION TO ME!”
