An official trailer has debuted for a documentary titled Santaconin fact it is Santacon: the documentaryrevealing the origin story of this hated event. “Today, Santacon is perhaps known as the most hated event on the planet. A dreaded day in which tens of thousands of drunken idiots dress up like Santa and invade countless cities around the world to live out their drunken, most violent instincts. But it started as something completely different: a piece of Dada Street Theater designed to take people out of their daily lives by creating a feeling of fear and confusion. Those who launched Santacon in the 90s are the same ones who launched burning man and which served as real inspiration for Fight club & Project Mayhem. And now they want nothing to do with their Christmas creation.” Now you have my attention!
