Unfortunately Belfast has again won the right to host the financially crippling Belfast World Pong Championship. Some suggest that the decision could damage our economy but the naysayers fail to see how the tournament generates local employment and tourist interest. A specially constructed pongrink village will house over eight contestants from over three different countries. This multi-cultural injection benefits and enriches us all.
So who will drag themselves from the rancid gamer’s cushion of obscurity to the heady heights of electronic nirvana? Will it be reigning two time champion Colin ’Waffles’ Boyd? Or a next generation Wii happy nunchuck wearer?
Live commentary, psychological humiliation and historical analysis will be supplied by heartless arbiters of justice; Richard West, Paddy Bloomer and Dan Jewesbury.
Every facet of this brutal display of ball/bat combat, including live monitoring of sweat glands and bladder control will be on display. The winner will receive a specially commissioned Pong trophy.
Only 32 places are available so book early through the Film Festival Box Office or email: stephen@belfastfilmfestival.org
Sponsored by Hackett’s of Newtownsaville and Ross’ Offal of Fife.
