Man, I just hope those poor kids will one day recover from the trauma of missing out on such vital childhood experiences as catgacating and listening to cartchy tuns.
On the Rainfurrest scale of event disasters, I'd rate this a solid 5. Right below 2014 Dashcon, which swindled several thousand dollars from people 'after' it was an obvious failure.
A momentous occasion, but no lives endangered, bank accounts emptied, or property damaged. It does get points for scaring the bejeebies out of the kids.
I heard about this, thought it was funny. You know what though, the woman who was in the iconic picture as the sad oompa loompa will probably do well based on recognition now.
It's a damn shame none of the Scots ended up producing claymores out of hammer space. We're long overdue for a good revisit of The Highlander, and that's probably the closest we'd have come to one.
Shitty as this entire situation was, at the very least the actors involved managed to work a little bit of good out of it, both for their careers, the laughs looking back, and some goodwill with their plan to try to put together an event that better captures what the guests were promised. Sucks that a lot of people wasted their money on that, but hopefully they'll be able to get some of it back and Coull will get the courtroom curb stomping he deserves. As for whether or not he actually will, well, I'm not so confident in that necessarily. There's a lot of jokes the Scottish government still has to issue fines and arrest warrants for. I just can't see how they'll find the time to handle Willy Wanker in the midst of all that very absolutely unquestionably necessary work they have.
In either case, no one really got hurt, the actors came out the other end of this bad situation in a better place, and the mungo behind the whole scheme got outed as the scuzz bucket that he is internet wide. Not a bad result for the ending of part 1. Of course, the saga does still have to continue...

I'm gonna be honest, I was looking forward to exarserdray lollipops and the pasadise of sweet teats.
Anyway, Meth Lab Oompa Loompa and The Unknown are perhaps the best things I've encountered all year.
And... "House of Illuminati"? Written in barely legible marker? Weird.
Fascinating story. It is like the rainbow mafia influence bleeding out into the professional grifter community.
The pathology of AI aside, a bit of unsolicited feedback, I had a hard time reading the font on the blue background.

Those kids should be grateful they got the once-in-a-lifetime chance to see tHe uNknOwn!
I had no idea this even happened. Thank you for telling this tale with your usual humor , wit, and empathy for the human condition.
Always a delight to read your work, sir.
