 Posted: 09/07/05 - 08:21 Post subject: If you have tix for the Munich Octoberfest
Sorry, no orgies or "alcohopops" (I think these are wine coolers) will be allowed this year. Seem they only want you to get sloshed on beer and listen to Oompah music.
Oktoberfest bans alcopops
The Munich Beer Festival has banned alcopops and pop music to stop the event turning into a 'drunken orgy'.
Scenes of drunken girls dancing semi naked on the backs of male party goers or on tables were flashed around the world last year. (How did we miss this ???)
Oktoberfest organisers now want to return to the festival's roots by concentrating on beer steins and traditional brass bands.
Head of the festival Gabriele Weishaeupl said: "It has begun to turn into an orgy for party animals. The tents are not supposed to be discos, but should remain traditional Bavarian beer tents.
"Last year was one of the bawdiest years ever, with many an exposed nipple as well as the huge quantities of alcohol consumed." (Missed another opportunity)
Alcopops have been banned and beer tent owners have agreed to refrain from playing popular hits such as DJ Otzi's Hey Baby and Lou Bega's Mambo No 5.
An estimated six million visitors are expected to descend on Munich when the 172nd Oktoberfest takes place between September 17 and October 3.

Lancaster County Ocktoberfest and Munich Oktoberfest are not the same thing. Lancaster is to orgy as Romper Room is to Harvard.
Annnnnd.....it takes a wholelotta beer for me to be able to stand oompah music anyway.
