      Laugh all you want all I know is I got $10 in my wallet and could probably get just about anything I want with her.

          Lol this website is so fucking weird. I make a joke that she looks like a prostitute that wouldn’t charge much and it’s so controversial. You come along and say ’ she’s even cheaper’ and it’s not controversial at all.

            We like a good saving here, even if it’s from an imaginary prostitute.

    TBF, Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory in the movies did leave the child contestants in tears too (not to mention improbably alive in some cases). So maybe this botched experience wasn’t that far off how it should have been.

    Edit: also, I wouldn’t be too surprised if an unspoken plot point for the oompa loompas was that Willy had them hopped up on meth.

      He does solely pay them in cocoa beans and I’m pretty sure you can get high off of cocoa beans if you consume enough and oompa loompas are dramatically smaller than humans, so yeah he’s paying them in drugs to live and work in his factory, after he smuggled them from Loompaland.

          That’s what Willy Wonka’s PR department would like you to think.

          In the Depp one its a bit that and a bit that they worship the beans, so he being a smart businessman saw that as free labour

    Ah. This sounds just like the “winter wonderland” event a few years ago.

    Same modus operandi only that was in a field by the side of a main road in a scruffy part of The New Forest.

    The organisers wound up in court, lost and, totally unsurprisingly, seems to have ‘lost’ the money so no refunds for the marks iirc.

    I guess it’s been a while so someone decided to rinse and repeat.
