A VT Salute to moms - Especially the Fat Ones

A VT Salute to moms – Especially the Fat Ones

With Mother’s Day just around the corner, Vilification Tennis has decided it is time to celebrate all of our moms. We want to celebrate the way they taught us how to walk, how to talk, how to know the appropriate amount to pay for sex and how to ask for second, thirds, fourths and even fifths at the dinner table.

Remember, you wouldn’t be so skinny if your mom hadn’t eaten so damn much. Come and celebrate your mom with us.

Inglorious Vilifiers: A tribute to the Movies

vil_feb_web_icon The Oscars are coming and Hollywood will collectively pat itself on the back for making tons of money on “Transformers 2″ and then using that money to make good movies that don’t make nearly as much.  Admit it, none of you watched “The Hurt Locker.”  You’d never even heard of “Up in the Air.”  Do the names Kurosawa, Scorsese, Hitchcock or Wilder mean anything to you?  Besides the fact they sound like mixed drinks? We didn’t think so.  Come to Vilification Tennis and celebrate your ignorance of all films that weren’t directcted by Michael Bay.  Transylvania Television will be on hand for a guest appearance, along with our Vilification Tennis Orchestra featuring Chad Dutton.

Ye Olde Vylyfycation Tennys Showe

vil_jan_web_iconHuzzah m’lords! Sit back, enjoy a turkey leg and catch a juggling show! It takes a special kind of nerd to work at a Renaissance Festival but that is nothing compared to the special kinds of nerds who pay to attend. Having several years of experience with this storied kind of “entertainment,” Vilification Tennis will take aim squarely at itself. Don’t worry, we absolutely deserve it. Forsooth, ye shall laugh mightily indeed!
