I think baiting rednecks into donating money to social programs so they can performatively destroy a fake guitar might be my favorite genre.

Even if it WAS authentic: absolutely worth it.

“Win this guitar signed by Barack Obama!” Raffle it in Texas.

In tiny print at the bottom of the ad: “all proceeds go to Planned Parenthood”.

Yeah, I mean, the dude owned it fair and square. Destroying it hurts no one but himself.

Performative idiocy is this most contemptible idiocy.

I don’t think you can call it a fake, from what I understand the charity has a guitar along with a CD insert signed by Swift. It’s actually kind of funnier if he wasn’t duped, just not smart why to know what he was bidding on, lol

She should offer to sell him as many as he wants to smash.

The story was already funny. This is the cherry on top.
