Your Kickstarter Sucks

Found this Tumblr that catalogs the worst Kickstarters ever posted. The pitch is the entire joke—no commentary needed. Chris is asking for fifteen grand to expose his ass on mountains. Holly needs eleven thousand to lay her metal penis on tables. Eric wants seventeen to make Monopoly badly, intentionally, with no other purpose. They’re all sincere. The Tumblr just presents them straight.

Some of them probably got funded. Which is the whole thing right there—the confidence, the zero self-awareness, the absolute certainty that strangers will fund your incomprehensible idea. It’s not satire or commentary. It’s just people asking, and sometimes the answer is yes.
