Three Utter Failures from Kickstarter Land
This week’s article can be found at Powertothemeeple.com, right here. What? You want a taste of the article before you buy? Pushy, pushy. I think I can accommodate, though.
Return of the KLIKA toy
Goal: $10,000
Pledged: $350
Do you remember the 90s? I sure do. The 90s sucked. The height of fashion was dressing like a lumberjack with no friends. The music made you want to commit suicide, except for the techno scene which made you want to commit suicide right now. Heck, we somehow turned Woodstock into a mud-caked capitalist mosh pit. “Two more days of Peace and Music. Five dollars a bottle of water.”
But, if a couple Millennials want to pretend they’re old enough to remember the Nineties, than I won’t argue with them. I mean, it’s a little embarrassing how hard they’re selling me on my own decade, but at lest they got heart. I give them plenty of credit for putting themselves out there. So what, exactly, are they selling me?
Oh! I know this thing! You grab it by the handle and swing it back and forth, and the balls smack into each other. Smack, smack, smack, smack, smack. In reality, the balls hit a couple times before they twirl in circles mocking you, but whatever. These guys are re-branding the toy ‘The Klika”, and forced me to groan through a Proclaimers song to do it.
Huh. This doesn’t sound like a horrible idea. So how come they only achieved 3.5% of their goal? Personally, I wouldn’t mind donating a couple bucks if I end up with a Klika in the exchange. Let’s see… what’s their pledge levels look like… Why don’t you go to PowertotheMeeple.com to find out?
