Unless you've been in Loompaland for the past week, you will have seen news of the disastrous Willy Wonka Experience. Billed as an "exhilarating and immersive" live experience in Glasgow, it turned out to be an event so abysmal and so flagrantly misadvertised that it made the 2017 Fyre Festival look like a paragon of ethical promotion.
Adverts for The House of Illuminati's 'Willy's Choclate Experience' (sic; even the event website's meta title seems to have been written by AI) used AI-generated imagery to depict an enchanting fantasy world very vaguely inspired by Roald Dahl's stories but with much worse spelling. However, when guests arrived, they discovered that the magical and whimsical place was a virtually derelict warehouse forlornly decorated with a few homemade props.
