Kickstarter is a tool for making your creative dreams come true.
Of course, you have to convince others that that dream is worth pursuing. And then you have to convince them that it's worth giving you money for it.
As you can easily imagine, this doesn't happen all the time. For every Kickstarter homerun like the Pebble watch or Printrbot, there's another project that flops and falls flat.
Buzzfeed recently collected a bunch of these oddball projects and the Tumblr blog Sh*tstarter catalogs weird projects full time.
Here are our favorites.
What Is A Juggalo?
Billing itself as "the most hated documentary in the world," this movie about fans of the band Insane Clown Posse got almost no love. A self-fulfilling prophecy?
Total raised: $5 of $5,000 goal
House Boy: The Boardgame
Not very many people were interested in this "frisky and fun board game designed for the gays by gays."
Total raised: $5 of $7,500 goal
Hubble Star Cards: The Universe In Your Hands
These aren't conventional playing cards. They just feature pictures of heavenly bodies on them.
Unsure of what to do with them? The Kickstarter page offers some suggestions: "Possible games include War, Go Fish, Sorting, Distances, and Matching."
Total raised: $0 of $8,500 goal
