Just when you thought you couldn’t care less about NFTs, Kevin Smith has decided to make them even more repugnant.
According to Deadline, the perpetually wide-eyed hack who won’t stop threatening us with another Clerks has decided to be on-trend for the first time since shooting a ’90s slacker movie. Saying he’s “always looking for a new platform through which to tell a story,” Smith has announced that he’s not even going to bother trying to sell his upcoming, incredibly poor-looking Killroy Was Here to a distributor: he’s selling it as a non-fungible token.
We will not even get into the specifics of NFTs here, but the gist, as Smith explains, is that “whoever buys it could choose to monetize it traditionally, or simply own a film that nobody ever sees but them.” This is the chance for the buyer to choose either greed or mercy.
But that’s not all the shit in Smith’s jorts.
He also announced, “Now Jay and Silent Bob blaze into blockchain with crypto collectibles called Smokin’ Tokens!” For between $499 and $5000, Smith’s most delusional fans can purchase variously-colored little digital drawings of Kevin Smith and Jason Mewes. It is the most deranged thing in history.
Still, can’t wait to see Smith’s selfie as he tears up at the end of civilization he helped bring about.
