I know that besides corruption from the right wing, things like the channel are reasonable enough the recent turn of leftits in south america.

This gets better:

A humor tv show from argentina, realize of the joke and put it on air.
Now here they show the last part of that report, when Dr. Alberto Cormillot a really well known nutritionist is asked about this drink: On 1:46 you can heard him asking "what would SCUMM be??" XD
Now its really epic.

Much better. The other video has no subtitles despite the title. xD

I did some google searches, and Scumm is an alcohol delivery service!

Hilarious.

Le epic fail. Not since Richard Wilkins announced Jeff Goldbloom's death on live television has such a great cock-up been made.

lol lol lol!!!! Tha video is much more funny.
The nutricionist was "What would scumm be?" and then he said he googled it saying it was a delivery service of alcoholic beverages. To end this totally doesnt make no sense at all.

It does, i typed them

I thought they were shown automatically if your youtube is set to English.
Here's how to activate subtitles and select the language.
Basically just click the bottom right arrow to find the CC button.

The recipe is taken verbatim from the SCUMM Bar scene of Secret of Monkey Island and this guy thinks teens are really doing it.

dumpling321 · 08/30/2009, 12:18 am

whats funny is that the news network wasn't smart enough to realize that if this was a popular trend, and teenagers were drinking kerosene and battery acid, that there would be ALOT of dead teenagers around

roumeaz · 08/30/2009, 12:32 am

Honestly, you realy can drink small doses of parafine oil.
But i realy, realy doubt, that you would survive drinking sulfuracid, that is used
to ionise the lead in carbatteries.

Ah, C5N, keep failing at journalism.

For the spanish speakers (I don't have the time to translate right now), the doctor that appeared in the video comments on the matter:

Good for him for admitting his mistakes (I believe "Me equivoqué" translates as "I was wrong"). The doctor seemed genuinely confused and earnest, rather than the so-called "journalist" who seemed swarmy.

But I'm glad El buén doctor was man enough to own up to his faults. I tip my hat off to him.

Argentina fail XD

So who's up for some grog later?

Only if it's old fashioned lead-acid in there. That crazy new glow-in-the-dark uranium acid mix that kids drink these days leaves a bad aftertaste.

Okay Spanish speakers, I have to know, is this actually for real? It's not that I can't believe a news stations reporting something so inaccurate, it's not that I can't see them scare-mongering, it's just like, even the Spanish version of google has pages and pages of Lucasart fan sites etc. come up when you type in Scumm. Also, why hire a doctor to be an expert if you just have him google stuff? What are interns for? It just the whole thing really reminds me of the time on Chasers' War Against Everything when Chris told his "wife" he wanted a divorce on Sunrise.
