What happened
The festival was reduced to a single 19-second presentation outside the elephant house, in which Dr. Kranzl's great-grandson noted that the elephants had really, really, really long trunks. That was it. The committee called it the future of content. It remains the most-viewed Slopfest recording, which is not saying much.
“Brevity is the soul of wit.”
