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.
i thought they were saved from being hunted as game?
That's what Willy Wonka's PR department would like you to think.
Incredible, they made pretty much no effort to hide the scummy AI generated text
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Ungirevel sviide sounds like an alien pick up artists name.
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.
Holy fuck the pictures are hilarious.
So that’s where Ja Rule and the Fyre Festival guy have been
It honestly looks like the Tumblr meet up that had the ball pit that someone peed in.
Lmao
Her enthusiasm really sells it
tfw you just finished cleaning some kid's remains from the chocolate packaging assembly line and now it's time for the daily Oompa Loompa dance routine rehearsal
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.
With change.
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.
