Leftist Pranks Tomi Lahren, Suggests The Same Prank For COTR.

Perhaps y’all saw our FB live the other day when we were trying to understand why a self-proclaimed Trump supporter sent us t-shirts with the message, “Settle for Bye Don” on them. A lot of our followers said that we were being pranked, that we should throw the shirts away, etc. But you guys, I’m still not convinced. I still think this man may have thought that somehow, he was gifting us with something that he genuinely thought was pro-Trump.  I have no idea how, but somehow. The card we got with the t-shirts seemed to be really earnest – you can hear what he wrote in the video at the 24 second mark and see the shirts for yourselves:

But let’s just assume for the moment that he WAS pranking us.  Like – what would be the point of this?  He spent Actual Money on these shirts, and took the time to write us a card, and then took even more time (and expense) to MAIL them to us.  Why would someone who doesn’t like Trump, and doesn’t like us – spend money and time to do that?  It makes no sense to me.

Which is why I thought this article was so absolutely absurd. 

According to that sourcelink, comedy writer Ali-Asghar Abedi (I know, I’ve never heard of him either) paid $85 to order a cameo message from Tomi Lahren. In case you’re unfamiliar with the cameo app, it’s a way for people to find their favorite celebrities/sports figures/commentators/personalities and request a personalized video message from them. We were invited onto the cameo app a couple years ago, and have LOVED making videos for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. for our followers. Because it’s an app meant for fans and followers, you never really assume that the orders you receive are from people with bad intentions, because they are spending their own money on the orders. And just as I said above about the dude who sent the t-shirts, would would be the point of that?

Well, Abedi explains that here:

“I paid conservative commentator Tomi Lahren $85 to call President Trump a jackass. To be clear, she didn’t actually say ‘jackass’: she said ‘ulloo,’ which literally means ‘owl’ in Hindi, Urdu, and Punjabi. But colloquially ‘ulloo’ means ‘jackass’ and the term is only used pejoratively in India. That’s right — Tomi sold out, albeit unknowingly, for just $85. What price dignity, eh?”

Case in point: talking heads will say anything for money.

They’ll take on topics they know nothing about and not do the necessary research.

Americans deserve better.

“Necessary research?” Give me a break. There was no reason for Tomi to assume that someone with bad intentions would come and misuse an app like cameo, and then would give her money when they don’t even LIKE her, just to make like 12 people in India think she was “owned.” So, congrats, Ali-Asghar, for admitting that you’re dumb enough to pay $85 to someone you can’t stand.

And even more hilariously, Al-Asghar knows she probably doesn’t give a crap:

I doubt Tomi is too upset. Because she loves capitalism — and today she played a joyous part of it for Trump-doubters the world over.

Here’s where the article gets more hilarious:

Abedi admits that the goof was “juvenile,” but “given that the Republican National Convention may be beyond satire, pranking the likes of Lahren may be one of the few ways we can derive comedy from this absurd event.” It could have just as easily been “Ben Shapiro, Jesse Watters, Mark Levin, Sarah Palin or Kimberly Guifoyle,” Abedi writes, although none of them are on Cameo. You can get Sean Spicer for $199, though. Or if that’s too pricey for a goof, the Chicks on the Right will only set you back $37.

That’s money horribly spent.

There are not enough eyerolls.

Should Tomi have checked to see what “ulloo” means in Hindi?  I guess you could make that argument.  But again, normal people are going to assume that OTHER normal people are smart enough not to waste their own money on a prank this stupid.

Which I guess leads us to the real point here.  People who spend their own money on pranks like this are not normal.  They’re just self-owning idiots, who are actually handing themselves their own assular areas.

via GIPHY

It sucks that an app designed to bring people together and spread a little joy is being misused like this, but again, that just goes back to the depths leftists are willing to lower themselves to.  At this point it shouldn’t surprise any of us.

And since we ARE happy capitalists who ALSO like spreading joy, if you’d like to order a personalized video message you can find us on cameo right here. We’re probably not gonna say any words we don’t know the meaning of, though.  Just FYI.  🙂
