    So here are some links to familiarize yourself with it. You must subscibe to Minty Comedic Arts because he is awesome. He Tries to present it in a decent way.

    Anyway, for those who do not know, Evidently some guy who seems to be a scammer used a lot of AI to make advertisements for a Willy Wonka Syle event. He does say you have toi use your imagination, and you do because he basically hired a few gig asctors, put up some posters in a warehouse, and advertised it as a walk through the chocolate factory. Evidently, despite a shitton of misspelins and signs there was no professionalism involved, people paid a pretty decent ticket price to go.

    For about 40-50 dollars they got a jellybean, half a cup of lemonade, some actors in cheap costumes, and some decorations/signage that was volunteer level at best because the guy did almost nothing to host the event.

    I am not going to do math in the red room, but it seems he made about a hundred grand doing this. If I were to guess based on the cost of the venue, actors, and decorations he probably walked away with about 100 grand.

    Not bad for a con.

    OK, so I goit the fucking country wrong. I am from america. We can't even elect a president that can get all that shit right. What do you expect?

    To any Irish people, I am sorry for confusing you with those skirt wearing loonies. You don't have the legs for it.

    I can't wait for this shit to be necroed by @Tuckerfan in 15 years.

    Oh, we do, but they're on the girls and we let them Riverdance.

    Michael Flatley is a rare exception.
