The Infamous Fyre Festival 'Blowjob Guy' Is Fittingly Now A Spokesperson For Evian

The Infamous Fyre Festival 'Blowjob Guy' Is Fittingly Now A Spokesperson For Evian

Hollywood event planner Andy King, now better known as the guy willing to perform fellatio on a Bahamian customs official to ensure concessions arrived to that calamitous Fyre Festival, is the most recent example of viral meme turned marketing brand.


King has been tapped by Evian water to do some endorsements for the bottled brand. Thus far, that amounts to an Instagram post and plenty of buzz.

In the post, King announces a promotional giveaway of 10 custom bottles featuring the phrase, "SO GOOD, YOU'D DO ANYTHING FOR IT."

King's internet notoriety exploded immediately following Netflix' release of Fyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened, a documentary about a complete event planning debacle.

The film outlines the entire story of the festival's explosive initial marketing campaign and subsequent inability to deliver on that hype.

(In this case, "not deliver" means several people wasting hundreds of dollars, plenty of people stuck in the Bahamas withoutfood or shelter, and Bahamian workers not receiving any compensation whatsoever.)

King's role in the film isn't major. Throughout the event planning process, King served as mentor to Billy McFarland, the main 'organizer' of the festival.

But King did find himself in way too deep in the festival, and as McFarland's complete unpreparedness came into view, King decided to go nose deep to save the festival however he could.

So when King found himself negotiating with Bahamian customs to ensure that four 18 wheeler trucks filled with Evian water made it to the festival.

When a solution was needed, Billy asked King, "[their] wonderful gay leader," to "take one for the team."

Suddenly that Evian custom bottle slogan about doing "anything" makes a whole lot of sense.

After the documentary grew popular on Netlfix upon release, it was a very fertile time for memes.



Truly, the writing was on the wall for King and Evian to capitalize on the opportunity.

King, in a Netflix promotional tweet, has already responded to fans, showing himself a pretty good sport about everything.

And beyond the Evian endorsement, King apparently was offered some TV deals in early 2019, though they did not turn into anything.

As for Billy McFarland, the one who totally left King out to dry, and ironically kickstarted a new endorsement career, his Wikipedia article is literally titled, "Billy McFarland (fraudster)."

Melania Just Held A Bizarre Press Conference To Debunk 'False Smears' Related To Jeffrey Epstein—And Everyone Had The Same Response

First Lady Melania Trump had everyone thinking the same thing after she held a bizarre press conference on Thursday to deny that she had anything but casual ties to Jeffrey Epstein, the late disgraced financier, pedophile, sexual abuser, and sex trafficker.

Mrs. Trump publicly denied any ties to convicted sex offenders Epstein and his procurer Ghislaine Maxwell, saying claims linking her to Epstein are “lies” meant to damage her reputation. She said she met her husband, President Donald Trump at a New York City party in 1998 and did not meet Epstein until 2000, contradicting a witness statement in the Epstein files that alleges Epstein introduced the couple.

Dem Rep. Sarah McBride Perfectly Shames Nancy Mace For Her Transphobic Response To McBride's Condemnation Of Trump

Delaware Democratic Representative Sarah McBride pushed back at South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace after Mace responded with transphobia to McBride's criticism of President Donald Trump's genocidal threat to kill the "whole civilization" of Iran.

Trump has insisted that God supports his war on Iran and declared—before a provisional ceasefire was announced—that "a whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again" ahead of a deadline to bomb Iran’s power plants and bridges that legal scholars and world leaders have said would constitute war crimes.

Comedian Explains How Millennials' Midlife Crises Are Different From Past Generations—And He's Spot On

Don't make promises you cannot keep, unless your goal is to hurt someone.

Millennials know that practically better than anyone. They were fed a long and impassioned series of advice, hyper-focused on the importance of getting a college degree in order to find a good job. They were also force-fed traditionalist ideals of getting married, having kids, and buying a nice house with the money they'd be making from that great job, of course.
