Fantastic Fest 2010: Behold the winner of this year’s bumper contest! Spoiler alert – it’s icky!
What an odd and funny concept it is that some of the most disgusting short films to ever play a film festival screen at a theater in which you can eat while you watch your feature. Luckily, for patrons of Fantastic Fest, the Alamo Drafthouse doesn't serve cherry pie.
Every year, Fantastic Festers are given the chance to show us their stuff...a call for entries which sometimes returns videos of people taking that in the literal sense. The chosen shorts are then given the prestigious honor of playing before films at the festival.
This year, contestants were given these simple guidelines. Their bumper must be 15 seconds in length and must adhere to the word "inappropriate." Well, if you were to look up the word in one of those modern day video dictionaries, you'd likely find the following video as a perfect example of the word.
Check out "Cherry Pie" from this year's winner Mario J. Pena...if you dare. I'm not sure I can even describe it with legal words. All I can say is heed my warning...it is most definitely NSFW or even NSTWAPYDWTTYAAFUP (Not Safe To Watch Around People You Don't Want To Think You Are A Fucked Up Person). Consider yourself warned!

You totally watched it, didn't you? Your curiosity for the macabre got the best of you, didn't it? It's okay. We'll forgive you. After all, you're only human.
