Video: Purgatorio Will Make The Box Look Like The 21 Club

Necrophilia's so hot right now. We're all super-stoked for the city's best pervy haunted nightclub—brought to you from the people behind the pervy disturbing nightclub The Box—to open October 15th, so check out this arguably SFW video to get a taste of what awaits you within this "erotic nightmare fantasyland created especially for Halloween season."

We haven't felt such a confusing mix of arousal and dread since Scarlett Johansson said she's coming to Broadway. Sure, it costs upwards of $39.99, but the publicist assures us it will "be VERY cool. It’s 3 floors. First, people will go into hell, and people will have to physically walk through coffins to get into hell. That’s why there is a big funeral theme in the video because everyone has to enter hell to get into purgatorio. At purgatorio is where The Box will do their normal burlesque show that they put on in the LES. After purgatorio they enter heaven where there will be angels and go-go boys dancing the rest of the night away." Which is exactly what we've always hoped would await us in the old China Club heaven!

Worst marketing strategy ever -- tying in with the New York CBS Radio stations? Why would you do a promotion on stations like WINS, WCBS-AM & FM or WFAN? How many of their listeners are likely to attend this club? Let's see, most of WFAN's listeners are either unemployed, old or severely mentally handicapped. WCBS AM/FM listeners as well as WINS listeners are just plain old. Why the massive campaign there? Makes no sense to me.

What station do you listen to?

Let's see: WKCR for its jazz programming, WFUV except when Claudia Marshall is on in the mornings, in that case I listen to WNYE as it simulcasts alternative programming from a Seattle station, maybe WNYC in the evenings if the music is interesting. I hear WFAN during the day because I'm forced to.

Callers != Listeners

Nice to see they are getting night club ideas from bad video games. Guess someone really loved Hit Man: Blood Money.

Is that the hipster grifter at the 2-second mark?

Very tired of activities that objectify women. Women are people, damnit. As Liz Lemon said "Yeah! Let's go look at some naked moms and daughters!"
