Yesterday's posting
listed 5 Kickstarter campaigns that were weird, but actually got funded
- some of them were funded way over the amounts they were looking for.
Today, I wanted to give equal attention to all those Kickstarters that
didn't get funded. Not everyone gets their dream.
Here
are just 5 of the weirdest unfunded Kickstarters - there are many,
many, MANY more! There's a reason why they were not funded.
What is a Juggalo?
Billing itself as "the most hated documentary in the world," this movie
is about fans of the band Insane Clown Posse. Apparently, there has
been a rash of violence related acts which have been attributed to fans
of the ICP - a "horrorcore" hip-hop duo, and the filmmaker wanted to
explore this idea and create a documentary on it. Total raised: $5 of $5,000 goal.
Love of Music
As explained on the project's page,
"Love Of Music is an on-going photo exploration of women posed in
various romantic and erotic relationships with musical instruments
(cello, guitars, harp, rock drums, etc.)". No one seemed interested. Total raised: $0 of $19,750 goal.
Glasses-Free 3D Game for the iPhone
This project
revolved around selling you a special adhesive film for your iPhone
that, once applied, would turn your device into an eye-popping 3D
display. The pitch was that you could "simply apply the 3D Plus film to
your iPhone and experience true 3D." But "true 3D" is impossible by way
of a special film because of, you know, science. Total raised: $21 of $15,000 goal.
Little Eatz, The Treat You BOTH Can Eat
Little Eatz
sought to bring you snack food suitable for both dogs and people. But
the food you would share with your dog is not human food. You would be
eating dog food. 12 people that this idea was a good one. Total raised: $251 of $5,000 goal.
Homosexuals: The New Leper
With a title that's sure to turn some heads, Homosexuals: The New Leper
was a pitch for a book that sought to reconcile homosexuality and
religion. Despite the tone of the title, this project aimed to clarify
what the Bible says regarding homosexuality and put an end to
discrimination of gays based on the Bible. Go figure, with that awesome title, it didn't fare well. Total raised: $0 of $2,200 goal.

I can see why they weren't funded.
