Vlokozu Union media crash of 1982

The Vlokozu Union media crash of 1982 (known as the Tentaclemania, Tentaclemania of 1982 or Vlokozuian media shock) was a massive recession in the Vlokozu Union's media industry that occurred from 1982 to 1983. Revenues had peaked at around $5.7 billion in December 1981, then fell to around $242 million by the start of 1984.

The crash is likely caused by the widespread popularity of Jamie's got Tentacles! book series. The crash almost destroyed the then-booming industry, and led to cancellation of many TV shows (Including Galidor, Family Feud), the discontinuation of toylines such as Jitterbug and the bankruptcy of several companies that produce video games, films, television shows, books and software. The crash lasted from January 1982 to June 1983. Analysts of the time expressed doubts about the long-term viability of.Xoshi and Bionicle and few franchises. The Vlokozu Union's media industry recovered in 1984.
