- With no other Madera reporters on scene, Saturday I saw it as my
responsibility and duty to report on the debauchery and decadence that took
place at the Madera Fair Grounds. For
the last few years the folks from Clear Channel Radio's KRZR have
brought their brand of entertainment to the Madera Fair Grounds.
It started with the Great Chili Cook-Off and escalated to free for
all of sex, rock & roll and of course Budweiser beer.
Promise Keepers it wasn't. In fact ManFest
might be called the antithesis of a Promise Keepers event. The
beer was flowing and the music blasting from the speakers was not
Steve Curtis Chapman, but bands like Powerman 5000, Crazy Anglos
and Smile Empty Soul.
Bridget the Midget, a three foot tall porn
star from Los Angles even took to the stage with her metal band
Bridget & Blakkout.
Some one with a very sick mind came up with
a use for Jell-O pudding that I'm pretty sure Bill Cosby never
thought of. Six bikini clad ladies wrestled until the crowd picked
a winner. The winner then wrestled a 425 plus pound bearded brut
in his underwear.
I guess they needed another competitive
sport for the festivities since arm wrestling was off the
schedule. For the last two years an arm wrestling participant was
carried away in an ambulance following the snapping of their fore-arm
bone.
If girls wrestling in pudding was to dirty
for your taste, the Perfect Angels put on shows through out the
day with a more traditional stripper/cheerleader edge.
Other events to take place at Manfest 2005 this
year were Lucky the Chugging Boar contest, Paintball Karaoke,
and professional wrestling.
While other newspapers chose to cover the
Easter egg hunts around Madera, I am proud that we sought out the exclusive
story and brought you the really important story on Saturday in
Madera.
Manfest was sponsored by McDonalds, the
folks that bring you the Happy Meal.. |
