Incest and pediophilia jokes are off limits?  Are you freakin' kidding?

Like the twenty warnings you give out loud and clear BEFORE Vil starts isn't a warning AND the smoker is for adults only!

The warning at cast call actually threatened people with being dropped from the cast.

I've sent a complaint of my own. This PC crud is getting ridiculous.

Last season I had a woman ask me to cover up my cleavage because she was trying to keep her boys as pure and innocent for as long as she could. Haven't had anything like that happen this year though.

Maybe someone should start a tack shop out at fest and sell blinders.


-oh and gags and earmuffs to say and hear no evil...

A friend has a story from a few years ago had a woman physically try to tuck her breasts down because she though she was about to pop out.

That could be really interesting! Maybe even get some of the pony play crowd out (I wonder if there are any in Minnesota...). The woman then made her boys sit down facing outside because that was "safer".

We tested something last weekend. From the height the boys were at, they couldn't see anything. I think the woman was just jealous...or at least that's the boyfriend's theory!

Thanks Rafe. I doubt they'll pay any attention to it. But hey, I'm a paying patron too, I have a voice, and it's about time I used it.

And theferret, that's not the first time I've heard someone talk about that. But it's harder to control when there are so many people there, that are paying customers, with the same or even more cleavage.  But I wouldn't be a bit surprised to hear fest mngmt come down on this next.

This is the basic letter I wrote. I'm not a great writer by any means, but I said my piece.

Hi there,



            I'm just a total fan of the ren fest and love attending. It has come to my attention however that certain people have complained about vil tennis. Being that certain jokes are found to be offensive. Are we going to keep taking parts of the fest away till it's so P.C. that it's to become unrecognizable? I say if someone is that much of an idiot to continue to listen, even after all the warnings given that it is not a child friendly show. Then they get what they deserve for being stupid.



What is the world of fest coming to? Are we going to ban cod-pieces? Wait a minute, that woman is showing far to much cleavage. This is a ren fest, it grew to it's popularity on jokes that others may find offensive. But you could no more tell Eddy Murphy, in his day or Chris Rock, to clean up their acts. Why then are we pandering to the lowest common denominator here? And act as popular as Vil tennis or the smoker for instance, have jokes that others may not get or appreciate. But why then is their view point so much more important?



I am positive that I spend a whole lot more money at fest, than these idiot complaint people do. I've been a season ticket holder for at least the last 7 years. Not to mention the shops I go to and purchase from every year to build my garb. Or, because the artist makes something that will decorate my house. I would be surprised if these people who love to complai,n come out more than once a year, nor spend as much as I do. But it would appear from these constant knee jerk reactions, the regular patrons opinion is irrelevant.



I say, if a person wants total clean family entertainment, then let them go to Disney. The ren fest is for both family and adult. God knows there are plenty of warnings given. I and many others like me say, if the patron isn't going to listen to the warnings before a show. Then they get what they deserve.

As far as the cleavage goes, a couple years ago Joy and myself were told to "tone down the cleavage".  Our solution was to completely cover it with scads and scads of glitter as well as writing messages on them.  Tone down the cleavage...bah!
