Remember that awesome viral vid that soared through the ‘net of a bird pooping in a reporter’s mouth during a live newscast? Didn’t it seem too good to be true?
Turns out it was. (Though not everyone has caught up yet — Gawker points out that Esquire included it in a blooper reel round-up of "Five Most Pwned Newscasters.")
But don’t feel too duped for spamming everyone you know — it was created in part by Mr. Show-veteran Bob Odenkirk and Arrested Development’s David Cross. Street cred, check! Rep still intact, check!
The comedic sketch is a fake product endorsement for a fake Nigerian soda company, Frumonadh. Fun stuff — I’m both relieved and disappointed it was all an elaborate ruse (like many other viewers, the original video both delighted and repulsed me.)
Now, all you need to do is convince everyone you sent the vid to that you knew it was all a big joke…
