Tinfoil Hats, Anal Probes Land at Alien Abduction Fest

Quote:
Cross sci-fi with crafting and you've got the Alien Abduction Festival, an event built around tinfoil hats, UFOs and the infamous anal probe purportedly conducted by curious extraterrestrials.

Given the names of the bars/cafes and "toy" stores used as venues, it looks like the event was really slanted towards the probing thing, and was more a marketing event for said probes than anything else.

I wonder how many CT geeks showed up and were shocked to find out it was more about probing than aliens.

Given that the festival was co-sponsored by a sex toy shop, the link might be considered PG-13.

It'd be interesting (in a sick way) to see how many people show up at this festival and state "Hey! That's the probe that was used on me!"
