After announcing the inaugural S.S. Coachella cruise, festival organizers launched an official facebook.com/sscoachella page to further push the Coachella brand on giddy hipsters ready to drop anywhere between $500 and $9,000 on a three-night cruise operated by their grandparents' favorite line, Celebrity.

Naturally, Internet trolls and music festival purists, who simply can't buy into the irony of a theme cruise, have taken to the site in an effort to sink the fun out of S.S. Coachella's maiden voyage.

Check out some Crossfade's favorite Facebook comments after the cut.



Get it? It's a maritime pun!


Yeah, like, who the eff is James Murphy? And Pulp? That's the shit in orange juice. What a bunch of Nazis.


What the fuck does that even mean?


What'll happen if he does? Dude crowd-surfs in an inflatable raft. He's prepared, bro.


Technically, it's $500 for a 183-square-foot room without a view based on quad occupancy. That's you, and three of your bros in a space half the size of your dorm.


What's worse than a boat full of rich kids? For starters, a $799 VIP area at a summer music festival that doesn't include free food or drinks.


It's definitely not "fuckery," friend.
