- Pete Wentz
When MTV told Pete he couldn’t expose Cobra Starship singer Gabe Saporta’s personal phone number during the VMAs with this t-shirt, he was forced to cover the actual number with duct tape. But like a man wrongly convicted of murder finding a piece of evidence to set him free, a day of vindication upon us. We made these shirts to right MTV’s wrong, because Gabe Saporta deserves to be harassed by fans. His personal phone number on the front, personal email on the back. Good luck, Gabe. Limited Edition (a.k.a. until Gabe totally freaks out). (100% Cotton, Machine Wash Cold. Made in USA.)
its interesting in the new age of music getting peoples attention and getting the industry to notice you is so much harder. i have been involved in a few “games” myself. they are fun and honestly i believe the person who solves “it” feels more ownership over the art and sometimes as though they have taken part in the art. i know that people think im involved in “welcome to the new hate”. im not, honestly but i played along. sometimes i like to see people games play out. i think they hav done a very successful campaign for a band that is unsigned. im gonna play out their final step for you. it will take you to a website that is designed to look like pete wentz.com- at the address: alliesandenemies.com it is not however and i did not write any of the words. i considered not leaking the final “password/prescription” but i think they have done a really good job with their viral content. in a world here people put out crappy content left and right. like i said i have nothing to do with them or their campaign but the question is do you like the music as much as the marketing?
