Ozzy Osbourne, Eminem, Melania Trump, and her husband’s former henchman Michael Cohen are all getting into NFTs. However, there have been some skeptics. Ambient music pioneer Brian Eno stated that pricey and easily reproducible jpegs that did inconceivable harm to the environment were for “hustlers.” They sent Keanu Reeves into a belly laugh. They now have a new skeptic in the form of the actor who portrayed Al Borland on Home Improvement.
Richard Karn, who previously hosted Family Feud for a few seasons in the early aughts, wasn’t always leery of NFTs. Before he was against them, he was for them. The actor and game show host announced on Monday that he was joining the non-fungible token bandwagon. He was cooperating, he added, with “Superfandom,” a company that helps celebs build personalized NFTs and make a couple bucks. Some lucky winners would not only receive digital tokens, but also the opportunity to converse on the phone, play golf, or play Family Feud over Zoom.
Alas, Karn had a change of heart.
Karn posted a photo of himself seated at what appeared to be a comfortable pub or restaurant, an empty glass in front of him, and a bright smile on his face, “I’ve thought long and hard about NFT’s and I’ve decided it’s not something I need to do.”
How did he make the decision that he did? It was in that most recent South Park film, in which Middle-Aged Butters is revealed to be a dangerous NFT hustler who had to be imprisoned. Did he hear about Damon Albarn being blasted for being an environmentalist who yet sells environment-destroying Gorillaz NFTs? Did he understand how ignorant they are? But maybe he didn’t have to say anything. After all, Al was always the more rational Tool Time talker.
