In a moment of frustration with this Potato Salad project AND with Kickstarter, I decided to see how far we could take things. CLEARLY they must say “no” to something, right?
And so was born “Air”, a Kickstarter project created by me.
Air is exactly what it seems. I’m going to sell you… AIR.
2oz jars of fucking NOTHING.
The rewards are funny, all tongue in cheek. For example, I’ll go to Harry Potter land at Universal and get you some Air. Or I’ll go to the Florida swamp and get you some swamp air. (You can click this link and see the draft page for yourself…CLICK HERE!)
SO, I wrote up the rewards and the story and created the project, clicked submit, and waited to see what the response would be.
I thought “there’s no WAY it’ll be approved"… at least then I could have SOME hope for the future of Kickstarter. At least someone there would have some common sense. "They won’t allow me to just sell air. There’s no way.”
YEAH.
They APPROVED it.
They APPROVED me SELLING AIR.
I do wonder at what point the potato salad Kickstarter will go from “Hey, I totally contributed to this fun meme!” to “Hey, did I really give a stranger $10 for nothing?” Maybe I don’t have enough money to spare to really get the joke.
