Last night, the Fourth Found Footage Festival sold out three shows at Central Cinema.

By the time the eleven o'clock show rolled around, the hosts, Joe and Nick, were kind of drunk—entertainingly drunk—and the show started over a half an hour late. But what a show it was. (From here on out, all links should be considered NSFW.) \

I had seen the training film for the the Venus 2 (a weird, suctioning male masturbation aid, and a larger, clunkier precursor of the Venus 2000) before, but the Found Footage guys actually brought a Venus 2 for the audience to appreciate. And one of the hosts—the one with the beard, who might be either Joe or Nick—admitted to trying the Venus 2 out. He recommended it to all the men in the audience. Later, lots of people posed for pictures with the Venus 2. Hopefully, they were too drunk to realize that this was probably the same model that the host had taken for a test drive.

There was also a slide show of several great VCR tape covers, including a handmade sticker labeled "Bonion Sergery" and the cover to the movie Jesus Christ Serial Rapist. Here is one of the sadder (and SFW) segments we saw last night:
