I have already told some of you, but one of the news channel here from Argentina made a serious research about the drinking problem we are having with our youth, that meet to drink heavily and then they go drunk to nightclubs or roam the streets, getting into fights, sex in parks and such. And they found a terrible news about the mixed drink that is a new fashion among our youth. This is the report, posted at Ron Gilbert's Blog


Why it is posted there? you will see.

Read this after you have watched the video

I can't answer to that question because it's too private

Heh. I guess that's what happens when you get people "Serious Adults" who are a bit too convinced of all the vile things those darn kids are up to. It's funny that they thought that was real, down to the at the end of the title.
It seems like a little research could have helped them realize it as a joke, but hey, I guess they thought they had a story that would sell.

And heh, you don't seem to hold that station in too high of esteem, I gather :laugh:

You wouldn't be able to drink it anyway because the mug would melt.

I can't believe they called in a real doctor for this one. I mean, "What could be SCUMM?" WTF? Did any of those retards do any research? Like what would real journalists do?

The doctor googled SCUMM, and he said it was a "alcohol delivery service."! I googled it, and the first result was for SCUMMVM! Look a little down, and you'll find a Wiki entry for Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion.......

I don't think it even passed through his head that SCUMM could be related to video games, you are asking too much from people who barely know how to check their email and think that videogames are those things that turns our kids into violent psychopaths or into fat slobs.

And it's not even some doctor, it is a doctor who is very famous here, with a heavy presence on TV. It has a obesity clinic, a diet products line and whatnot...

So yeah, it is all a big WTF.

The only thing that could beat this would be a similar report on BBC or CNN.
