I, like any other of the 1,154,642 people who watched the above video, was thoroughly entertained and disgusted by a reporter getting shit on by a brid IN THE MOUTH. LOL!!!!1!!1!Ew. There’s nothing more awesome than watching news reporters fuck up. (Right, Grape Lady?) It probably has something to do with their too-perfect voices and out of style, over hairsprayed hair ‘dos.
BUT
While I was doing my daily tumblr reading, I came across something so shocking, so heartbreaking, I had to share it:
“I don’t know if this is well known, but the “bird poops in reporter’s mouth” is a fake. It’s actually a very smart way of promoting Bob Odenkirk’s newest Super Deluxe video, The Making of: Bird Poops in Mouth, which is a mocumentary about shooting a commercial for ‘Frumondah Soda.’” (via Erockappel)
Ahhhhh! STFU! A fake??? I’m still not over it. I watched both videos over and over again trying to disprove this whole idea, but I couldn’t. Everything matched up perfectly.
I had no idea I couldn’t trust the Internets. I mean I’ve been fooled a couple times here and there especially when April 1st comest around, but I thought a viral YouTube video carried some sort of truth insurance. Fuck, what would I do if Chris Crocker or those talking dogs or that newscaster who called the Mt. Everest climber gay instead of blind were just web 2.0 creations? This viral video thing has gone too far, YouTube should probably consider hiring some sort of truth police that virtually stamps each video with a “fake” or “real” logo (they can even sparkle!) just so I don’t have to go through this ever again.
That being said, it is pretty genius. It has to be one of the most brilliant viral video specifically created to be a viral video ever.
