This level of celebrity worship is so bizarre.

    People worshiping the rich and famous are responsible for a lot of the problems in the world today.

    If it incentivizes people to clean up, I don’t hate it as much as I did at first glance. Just won’t think too hard about the shipping and other additional waste production involved.

      Yeah fair play. Mad respect to the domestic and waste workers making the place looks half decent for everyone… but I can’t really hate on a guy for tidying shit into bags and selling them to people with more money than sense.

      If it makes that corner of the world look a bit nicer for humans and animals alike… I can’t hate on it.

    I guess it would be pretty easy to say that Swift fans have been paying for garbage for years but to each their own :P

      The real lesson is it was never about the gamers. Weirdos from every walk of life will buy this shit up.

    Jesus, people are so desperate for celebrity validation they’re actually buying their goddamn rubbish now? What next, someone’s gonna auction off Bieber’s used condoms?

          At least it would have been in contact with him and contain something previously of him in it. This stuff is garbage from an event that they likely never even got close to. It’s only one step removed from someone in the same Manhattan apartment building selling their trash as from the same building Taylor lives in (presuming she has a Manhattan apartment, I don’t know). Now, I don’t care. Fool and his money and all that.

          You could clone him a few times and start your own boy band. Or fundamentalist militia/death cult. Whichever floats your boat.

    It’s too bad she’s a billionaire POS. If there’s one person that could trigger the revolution, it might be her. She just has to say the word. These people would follow.

    I never really cared enough to look beyond the marketing for Taylor Swift, so my opinion was pretty much “Whatever, she seems nice enough”, but having a wedding in MSG at all is seriously off-putting.

    That’s not an invitation to list everything bad about her. I still don’t care.

    Honestly, $25 feels kinda low. Each bag could contain stuff that is worth much more, even minus the celebrity bonus.

      I’d agree, but the bags weren’t what was sold - it was a plastic cube with something like a cubic inch of trash inside. There’s a pic elsewhere in the thread.

        I saw it. $25 for that? Un-fucking-believable. Like selling off the Berlin wall bit by bit, except that really was a piece of history.

      Man I hate to have to agree with this because it’s just so loathsome, but weddings always have like personalized tchotchkes on the table and shit and if you manage to snag one of those in your $25 bag you’d probably get a thousand dollars for it on ebay.

      But “from the edge of a love story” is odd wording. I really would think such bigtime celebrities would see to it that their trash was removed themselves for exactly this reason and that this isn’t just random garbage from nearby dumpsters.

        I was thinking about that, but what are they supposed to do? Pay for secret cremation? That sounds even worse.
        This is obviously the result of one person in the removal chain, far enough removed to go unnoticed, thinking they can make some money out of it.

    Is this like baseball cards, and one of the cubes is like an autographed T&T Wedding Night condom or whatever?
