Saw this around 19h ago when it first started making waves and I’ve been background pondering it all day

Because

Just how the fuck do you make this mistake at stage size event? Stage lighting is a “you contact a gear company for that” level thing, for it to be any good

By the images available, this didn’t seem like a slapdash setup. And while it is possible that this might’ve been the result of “eh, why do we need to pay for all that rental? Let’s just do it ourselves, with NFTs, blackjack, hookers, and blow” I’m not sure how likely that is

It takes some truly stunning incompetence and clusterfucks to achieve. Now, don’t get me wrong, the coiners and apes have that solidly covered, but still. Been an itch on my brain for hours.

realistically, the attendees are likely not going to fully recover their eyesight.

Seems inappropriate to laugh about this. People spending a fortune on a worthless ugly monkey png deserve ridicule, but not permanent eye damage just because they went to a party with their fellow marks.

good call. I edited my post a little so hopefully it reflects my point better — eyes are delicate as fuck, and it’s very foolish for yuga labs and some of their bagholders to try and minimize how dangerous this situation was, since getting timely medical care after severe eye damage is crucial if you want to keep your sight (I may have some recent experience with that last part)
