This doesn't quite meet the criteria for the thread but is completely bonkers

An event in which members of the public could ice-skate alongside penguins has been cancelled following a backlash by animal rights campaigners.

Something to look out for on Netflix...

Inside the world's biggest festival flop

Advertised by famous faces including Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Hailey Baldwin, it was billed as a glamorous party on a deserted island.

Tickets cost up to $100,000 (£75,000) and guests who booked were promised luxury accommodation and "the best in food, art, music and adventure" in the Bahamas.

Instead they turned up to mattresses on rain-soaked floors, meals of cheese slices on bread and their luggage thrown into a unlit car park.

I was just reading that BBC article. It sounds a fascinating story, and a scam that the promoters of the original Lapland New Forest would be proud of. Probably more meritable, given the target audience that got shafted here

Come come now T & P, one may almost think from your tone that you don't fully worship 'Influencers''.

‘It was like Fyre Festival’ - hundreds of families demand refund over Fortnite festival flop

young sullen fans of the video game phenomenon Fortnite were so unimpressed with the event they resorted to playing with sticks in a field

We watched the Netflix documentary last week and Mr. QofG's got quite, well very, annoyed by the "influencers"

My eldest nephew is currently aiming to be an influencer. I am hoping he grows out of this aspiration.

"...so unimpressed with the event they resorted to playing with sticks in a field."

And, what's wrong with playing with sticks in a field? It's what was outdoor entertainment back in the day!

But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.

The organisers should claim that was the point. "We got your child off their phone/console for an afternoon. That'll be 40 quid. The queue to pay is over there."

"Stick rental is ten pounds."

£18 if you want the silver birch as seen being used by some fookin’ Youtuber...

Fortnite festival organisers to be sued

Justine Petersen, who queued for 90 minutes to get in with her husband and her nine-year-old son, said it was "like the episode of Father Ted when the fair comes to Craggy Island".

This has some potential to be shit. Already telling you it’s nothing to do with Warner bros and basically telling you they will email everyone who is attending in order to arrange seating plans! Clearly never heard of the bcc field in email. I can see it now. Shoddy food, queues for toilets, lack of bar, an owl in a cage somewhere and relying on everyone else to dress up and provide their own entertainment. £55 for a daytime ticket and £65 for the evening.

Trying to find out the rogue company behind it to see their history but not finding much out (not tried hard though if I’m honest)

Looks like I was right, they've already had complaints in Aus:

"So in the end we'd paid £30 to walk from the car park and back again with the kids in tears."

Good find moomoo

That foam pit is a bloody classic.

I'm loving 'barefoot refresh' - bouncy castle walls surrounding a patch of grassy earth. It's like someone won a competition to design the most disappointing attraction ever.
