The actress who played the meth lab oompa loompa was interviewed. She said that every actor there tried to make this experience a little less sucky, but everyone still felt embarrassed and ashamed... And from what she said, every parent could read on their faces... I honestly can not describe how badly I feel for these people who were roped into something thinking it'd be a fun, quick way to make some cash and entertain children... Instead, another actor said the children's disappointment was the worst part of the experience.

[@frug5629]

I can't blame them. I would've felt absolutely dirty and humiliated by this. At least the actors tried to do something with it, somebody with a shred of fucking decency. Unlike the assholes that 'organized' this.

Love it when Drinker talks about this is something he would expect from his childhood. I'm Scottish, I'm roughly the same age as the drinker and was brought up in Stirling.......yuuup it was rough. I remember my Gran taking me to buy gloves, we went to what look like an abandoned house in the city with it's windows boarded up and a hand painted sign outside saying "winter clothes sale", went in and apart from bare strone walls and lights on cables there was a sea of large cardboard boxes with 1000's of different gloves, hats, jumpers.....etc just overflowing. With 1 very cold looking man on a small chair, wearing a black jumper and black hat sitting next to an electric heater with a money box. I'm honestly not making this up. My gran and I started looking, I walked a wee bit away from her to look at some gloves, I was not sure of the sizes to I saw a man that seemed to be wearing the same black hat and jumper as the man with the money boxed, I asked him how to find the sizes, the man turned around looked at me and said "I don't F+?"ing work here!" and walked away from me. I was 10. Welcome to Scotland hahahahahahahaha.

The guy who played Wonka on top of him and his character sort of messing together, we eventually just drop the act and started telling people to demand their money back.

The poor woman in the green wig was supposed to be an Oompa Loompah, but ended being the *only* Oompa Loompah.
