Case File 009: ANDREW TATE: GIANT PIECE OF SHIT

TEASER VIDEO: [NUMEROUS TRIGGER WARNINGS]

This one never even made it out of the driveway.

I made a deck for a documentary called *Andrew Tate: Giant Piece of Shit*.

My friend and longtime collaborator Ethan Higbee and I also made a teaser like an old-school wrestling promo, an aggressive, petty, wildly overconfident and tasteless shit-talk designed to use Tate’s own visual language against him. A cinematic curb-stomp.

As the deck put it:

“This is not a documentary. This is a takedown wrapped in a flex.”

Whatever the fuck that means.

We showed it to the team and the agents.

The reaction was immediate.

No.

Someone even complained about a sound effect in the teaser: a turd hitting toilet water after an extended barrage of fart noises. Said it was “juvenile.”

With all due respect, the title was Andrew Tate: Giant Piece of Shit. We were not exactly attempting Shoah. The soft, humiliating splash of shit finding its final destination was not a lapse in judgment. It was the fucking thesis.

And that is essentially the entire story.

It was shot down before it could accumulate the kind of elaborate corpse worth performing an autopsy on.

But the deck is too insane not to share, so I am putting it here for your enjoyment.

Peace and love.

And Andrew? Don’t drop the soap.
