The ‘Taylor Swift’ Guitar Smashed by Man After Paying $4,000 for It Was Not Autographed by Singer (variety.com)

The weird get weirder. He apparently spent $4000 to smash a guitar that was next to a signature.

A man who for some reason smashed up a guitar with a hammer in Texas may have thought it had been signed by Taylor Swift — but it was not, in fact, an official Swift-certified guitar.

But contrary to media reports, the guitar the man destroyed had not been signed by Swift — and was not a certified official guitar used by the singer, a source close to her merch company confirmed to Variety. The organization that held the auction, the Ellis County WildGame Dinner, presented the guitar with a signed CD insert but the guitar itself was not signed.

It was at a charity auction. The money went towards agricultural programs for children.

Well that's something at least. It doesn't make him any smarter though.

Many, though, cited the fact the $4,000 he spent could have gone to charity, and, in the end, it did. The proceeds for the dinner went to the Future Farmers of America.

Lemmy: "But yeah, they're conservative filth.

Who also grow the food you fatasses gorge yourself on.

I need a cartoon where a fat-as-fuck loser eats himself to death while bitching about flyover states and energy waste causing global warming.

Throttle back Maverick, you're so eager to jerk off to the idea that people somehow hate farmers that you're hallucinating again.

I got banned from a news instance for doxxing already, not gonna post the dude's info, but his self-proclaimed profession is "Oilman". He has a blue collar build to him, yes.

He's likely working in Texan oilfields, not farm land.

Well yeah, doxxing is irresponsible and can get people killed. Don't do it, not even when someone is being a massive suppurating arsehole about things.

It was not a dox of this man. Kill your oppressors.

You raise a great point. Agricultural education should be free, and we should help them with those high rents and Walmart too.

Who needs a cartoon when half of Lemmy can look in a mirror
