I have trouble telling what is satire and what isn’t.
Jeff Bezo is now cosplaying as a working class man.

I wish this was satire but it’s just weirdly fetishistic propaganda. It’s not even subtle; it’s pathetic.

I know. Is that thing really his fiance? She looks like she just crawled out of the uncanny valley.
The sad thing is I bet she was pretty before all the work was done

That’s actually a good photo of her. It’s been hand retouched, in sure.

I’ll never understand women who go shove needles in their face to look like they just got stung by bees all over their face or like they shoved basketballs under their chest, complete with horrific scars.

I was thinking that arm was complete fiction, but apparently ole Jeffro had been working out.

It’s amazing what you can accomplish with TRT and a personal trainer who is at your beck and call 24/7/365.

Tony Stark titan of industry
Ooh, that’s going to get under Elon’s skin. I wonder if he’ll challenge Jeff to a cage match for the Tony Stark-wannabe title…
Kalkaline@leminal.space 11 months ago
They’re both far too socially oblivious to be Tony Stark.
bestagon@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Not sure Tony Stark embodies social consciousness to me but he’s definitely too self deprecating for either of these two to win the title

Does using botox make you look like every other woman who uses botox or is it just a certain type of woman uses botox?

All that money and he choos s to turn himself into this instead of a cat girl. Billionaires are idiots.
OurTragicUniverse@kbin.social 11 months ago
Would you respect Jef Bezos more if he was a catgirl?
Deceptichum@kbin.social 11 months ago
Only if he said stuff like
“Do you respect me more meow that I’m like this?”
DarkMessiah@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Honestly? Yeah, kinda. I could respect that level of petty.
“You fucking nerds buying catgirl stuff off of my website! Well, now I’m a catgirl, so you’re directly thinking of me when you buy it, loser!”
At least he wouldn’t be pretending to be relatable.
MuThyme@lemmy.world 11 months ago
No, but at least he wouldn’t be an idiot
Gork@lemm.ee 11 months ago

Makes sense. Uncle Karl is usually trendy with young adults, but its reaching the post-WTC Attacks era in the early-mid 2000s again, so there’s a lot of media outlets jumping on with “10 things” and “All you need to know” articles.
It’s funny. My father remembers the same thing during periods in the 70s and 80s where everyone was reading Communist Manifesto, Atlas Shrugged, Animal Farm, The State of Revolution, etc. Seems to be when a young generation somewhere are unhappy with the way things are going and looking for alternatives. It’s excellent because it breaks the mould and reminds people that they have power and can influence change, liberty, and direction. It encourages people to consider things they did not know were options.

What is happening with his girl’s face ? is she AI-generated
QuodamoresDei@midwest.social 11 months ago
The usual too much sub-par plastic surgery, or maybe she actually wanted to look like that…

MargotRobbie@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I don’t know, maybe he’s a big fan of the Barbie movie (now available on streaming on Amazon Prime videos) and is cosplaying as the Patriarchy. Not even a Ken, but like, the literal personification of the Patriarchy.
Cowboy and cowgirl costumes are fun to wear, but they are just that, costumes. The only acceptable reasons to pretend to be someone you’re not on camera is either you get paid for it as your job, or if it is really, really funny.
evranch@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
I assure you, it might be a costume, but dressing up as a cowboy definitely sells more beef.
Source: sell meat from my farm. City folk like to buy beef from a guy wearing a large hat.
Hats aside, the button up Western shirt and jeans just look sharp as hell if you look like you belong in them, I wear them all the time
whostosay@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I’ma need a 3lb ground beef quote right quick. Don’t fuckin make me livestock vibe check you.
kilgore_trout@feddit.it 11 months ago
I didn’t hope to ever defend Bezos ever, but people can put on whatever hat they want without a reason.
czardestructo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
It’s not just the hat. It’s posing in a vintage American pickup truck with the American West in the background. It’s a persona that has no correlation to this man and has been used for decades as a marketing ploy to sell cigarettes and other garbage so I’m immediately suspect and judgy.
fiah@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
of course, and everyone is free to have some glamour shots taken of them just for funsies, regardless of what they’re wearing. What puzzles me though is why vogue is posting this on their insta, but perhaps I shouldn’t judge because I have only a nebulous idea of what “vogue” and “insta” means
dingleberry@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
He is not an idiot. He’s seen Trump, and knows that “trashy rich” sells. 100% will run for President, if not this term then next.

He could have almost any woman he wanted thanks to his wallet, and chose that.
Also, bullshit he’s that beefy.
