Truly shocking (almost as much as the Andy Williams track I am listening to right now).
It would appear the good folks over at dribbleglass.com have unearthed a paedophile scandal of monsterous proportions over at the Willy Wonka Factory.
They cite the following "...children are also lured to the Wonka factory by promises of sweets. Once inside, children begin to disappear almost immediately. Their disappearances are never adequately explained, and ironically, the Oompa Loompas now at the center of all the controversy have the audacity to sing after each child disappears.."
If that were not enough, they quote lines from a recent documentary at the factory. Allow me to reprint just a few:
Mr. Salt: "Hang on, darling! Just close your eyes and hang on tight!"
Violet Beauregarde: "It's hot and creamy. I can actually feel it running down my throat!"
Mr. Salt: "Hold on! Veruca, sweetheart, Daddy's coming!"
Mrs. Teevee: "Oh, my dress, my hair, my face! I'm sending you the cleaning bill, Mr. Wonka!"
Wonka: "Well, fortunately small boys are extremely springy and elastic."
Like I said.. truly shocking. Yet another childhood memory washed up on that rocky shore of broken dreams.

My Uncle took me on a tour of a famous British chocolate manufacturing complex when I was 11. It was an experience I'll never forget.
