AITA for thinking Matthew Perry's posthumous "Friends" reunion hologram tour is the most depressingly on-brand thing ever?
Look, I love Chandler Bing as much as the next millennial who peaked in the 90s. But can we talk about the circus? Apparently, some tech startup with a name like "Ethereal AI Productions" just announced a "fully interactive, blockchain-verified" holographic Matthew Perry set to tour stadiums in 2025. The press release says it will "capture his essence" by using 45 minutes of old blooper reels and a "proprietary wit algorithm."
TL;DR: We're paying $200 to watch a glitchy ghost make sarcastic jokes about a sofa while a dead man's estate cashes the check. It's giving "Weekend at Bernie's" meets "Black Mirror: Bandersnatch," but somehow less funny.
I can already see the tour slogan: "Could I BE any more of a corporate zombie?" Pass the ketamine (too soon? yeah, probably). The only thing missing is a NFT of his coffee mug.
