Carnage hit Cardiff earlier this month, but for many the atmosphere is beyond the pale most weekends. The pub crawl event charges £10, and admits the bearer of a Carnage-branded tshirt to any of the venues that have signed up.
Sponsored by lads mags like Nuts and Zoo, the “pimps and hoes” themed night saw hundreds of women dressed as stereotypical sex workers booze in Cardiff city centre. Women’s groups condemned the theme, but the night went ahead and was a predictable success or travesty – depending on your perspective.
This is not the first time Cardiff’s nightlife has been negatively publicised in the media. The Daily Mail is fond of running these photos every few months, with drunken revelry in the Welsh capital a weekly affair.
