Man, this is a joke! A couple of guys made this up, sending an E mail, to C5N chain, NOBODY WITH SANE MIND WOULD DRINK THIS STUFF! This is just to prove that those guys don't check there info.

hahaha I used to work in that channel, and really... I cant believe this thing!
when I saw this for the first time I just said... WE HAVE TO SEND THIS TO RON GILBERT!
so, the internet did that job... and ron post this thing at grumpy gamer...
Nah, but it is the greatest video I've seen in a long time. That or William Shatner exploding on the $20,000 pyramid...

Hahaha, Ron saw it!!! Sos groso, Ron!!!!
Just look what we have to do to prove you how much we love you in Argentina :P
Now you'll have to come and drink grog with us, no exuses :)
Woohoo! Rooon! Yeah! You are the best, Ron! Woooohoooo!!!
Amigos argentinos escuchen atentamente porque no hay tiempo que perder: este sitio propaga informacion sobre c�mo preparar tragos t�xicos. Tragos que luego los adolescentes descarriados beben y mueren de insuficiencia renal en una cuneta de Villa General Lagos. Organicemos un piquete por una juventus libre de drogas! Destruyamos a este Ron opresor de una vez por todas!
Also, I'm waiting for the mysterious awesomeness suposedly to come this monday. Deathspank in every store perhaps?

The editing on that youtube video sucks, but when that aired the other day a friend called me during the program and screamed at me "PUT C5N NOW YOU'VE GOTTA SEE THIS!" and I almost fainted laughing.
I loved that Dr. Cormillot went and "searched" for Scumm and the only thing he could find was some alcohol delivery website in Argentina...
http://www.scummdelivery.com.ar/ By that I can deduce by that the guy doesn't use google and he yahooed(?) the name (only in the argentinean version of yahoo you get that website on the first page).
He must have thought "man, these guys deliver GROG XD door to door to little children around the city!" hahahahah.
Posted by Pendor on Aug 30, 2009 twenty past ten pm
I laughed my ass off when I saw it on TV.
The "What could SCUMM probably be?" part is EPIC.
Thanks again, Ron. For everything.
P.D: I sent him the link yesterday. Not sure if he got it from me first or someone else.
Posted by Domingo on Aug 30, 2009 five to eleven pm
There's another video, but I don't know if it has subtitles or not, which shows the reporter saying something like "...Who could possibly think of drinking kerosene just for fun? But this actually happens. You just have to ask the teenagers who drink this with a complete straight face..."
Well, I'm pretty sure he drank a lot of kerosene when he was a kid and it ultimately destroyed his brain, up to the point where he couldn't realize such a drink can't really exist, because nobody could drink acid (or pretty much every other Grog ingredient, except maybe artificial sweetners and SCUMM) in real life without instantly dying.
I would like to know why didn't the reporter list SCUMM as an ingredient but Dr. Cormillot did, and why none of them mentioned propylene glycol.
Posted by Bernasca on Aug 31, 2009 twenty to seven am
Maybe they didn't because they weren't sure what SCUMM was. So they thought "SCUMM? WTF? no, don't put that ingredient in the list, we don't wanna look like stupid in TV!" XD
What I really wanna know is who wrote that mail to C5N and what did it say!!!!
Hey Ron, please stop poisoning our children!!! Say no to Grog!!!

Posted by Kelgrim on Aug 31, 2009 ten past two am
I thought you have to study journalism before you can call yourself "journalist". He is just a TV guy, like some jerk anouncing the next videoclip.
But maybe that is the secret of Monkey Island. No matter how hard you try to make something look unrealistic/ironic, some idiots will still take it seriously. Like anouncing a super secret and watching other idiots trying to find out what it is for YEARS.

Oh gosh... just tried Grog XD... Hey, Ron... the pepperoni kind of upset my stomach... should I do without it altogether or could I use cannabis instead? It's legal to keep some here in Argentina now, so it could be an awesome combination!
As for C5N... I hadn't laughed THAT HARD in years! They couldn't even tell that the XD was an emoticon! They must've thought it was EXTRA DAMAGING or EXTRA DELUSIONAL... but it just meant they're EXTRA DUMB. Those so-called journalists are simply pathetic... the wheel's spinning but the hamster's dead. Maybe it was the grog...

I laughed a lot!!! and i think i won't stop laughing in a long time...but, cormillot is nothing but a fake, you could ask any nutritionist about the advices he gives, and besides....why he commented something that has nothing to do with his area

Wow. We knew our journalists were generally ignorant, but not that stupid. Sorry about my English, I'm trying to find a word to define this but I can't get lower than "dismal".
A word in spanish will do fine: "Estupid�simo," or "tont�simo," that is, any word for "dumb" or "stupid" or "foolish" + superlative "�simo" suffix

Hahaha, Ron, you're a genius for posting this, really.
What a shame that my country gets known for this kind of things really, I still cannot understand how nobody tried to stop this before airing... who could think that a kid can actually survive this?
To make things worse Cormillot is actually a well known and respected doctor here, but the bit about Scumm was just too much, the can say anything!
The worst thing of all is that nobody in that network ever played Monkey Island... how could that happen?

Wow... I can't believe this. I'm an argentinian and I didn't see this on TV! Monkey Island must be on of the most famouses games of the history. This happens 'cause our journalists don't RESEARCH. And the worst part is that Dr Cormillot (the guy talking about the SCUMM) it's a very famous nutritionist, and has chains of healthy food and all that. So that's the reason why they called him.
What a generous country!!!
Posted by Ka Member on Sep 20, 2009 five past ten am
Wow... I've never seen anything like that. In fact I haven't seen it at all, as the file has been removed due to some copyright issue requested by a company named "Artear S.A.".
The error message is in french (as I am in France it is not as strange as it may seem), is it a local problem ?
Posted by Qwerty on Sep 21, 2009 twenty five to nine pm
yeah, this company Artear is part of Clarin, a multimedia group here in Argentina. they've business with Google, so every time that some content which could damage Clarin is found within Google's domain, it's automatically censored. TVR, the tv show that made this video is a Canal 13's program. as u can imagine Canal 13 belongs to Clarin.
I don't want to go into politics, but there're a lot of things that are being censored by Google. Many of them are not funny things like this, instead they try to obliterate serious stuff involving corruption, mafias, and many other dark business.

Hah, so in Argentina a bunch of people thought some kids were actually drinking GROG. Maybe those kids might be coming to Monkey Island, Uruguay ("Isla del Mono" as we call it) near the coast of Montevideo for treasure hunting next. They'll be welcome, but tell them not to feed the three-headed monkeys, though.
Posted by on Nov 5, 2009 five to eight am
I live in ARGENTINA and watched it LIVE. That EPIC FAIL is the funniest thing about our media! That's because they don't check out their information first...
I'll explain. It was a prank from some people from within C5N...
Thanks Ron for giving us the credit :P
Here in Argentina we keep playing your games... Guybrush is one of our mighty heroes, lol.
Posted by Maria on Nov 10, 2009 twenty to one pm
These so called journalists should worry about their own business. In what people's mind does it fit a drink like this?
If they had had another day to go on with this, Im sure they'd have prepared the drink on a live show for all to see. That would have been fun...
Anyway, please, don't think we're all idiots here in Argentina. But, yes, I do admit we have some bad, dont-check-the-info, yellow, sensationalist news channel.... Shame on you C5N.

Something to mention: the news channel "C5N" is a part of the right-wing pro-USA multimedia network "infobae". They are always attacking the young people, workers, human rights organizations and all that smells like "popular". The "note" was a part of their daily attacks to the young people and their "moral". The owner of that channel is "Daniel Hadad". Google him. Thanks.

Amigos argentinos escuchen atentamente porque no hay tiempo que perder: este sitio propaga informacion sobre c�mo preparar tragos t�xicos. Tragos que luego los adolescentes descarriados beben y mueren de insuficiencia renal en una cuneta de Villa General Lagos. Organicemos un piquete por una juventus libre de drogas! Destruyamos a este Ron opresor de una vez por todas!
Also, I'm waiting for the mysterious awesomeness suposedly to come this monday. Deathspank in every store perhaps?

I loved that Dr. Cormillot went and "searched" for Scumm and the only thing he could find was some alcohol delivery website in Argentina...
http://www.scummdelivery.com.ar/
By that I can deduce by that the guy doesn't use google and he yahooed(?) the name (only in the argentinean version of yahoo you get that website on the first page).
He must have thought "man, these guys deliver GROG XD door to door to little children around the city!" hahahahah.
Posted by Pendor on Aug 30, 2009 twenty past ten pm
The "What could SCUMM probably be?" part is EPIC.
Thanks again, Ron. For everything.
P.D: I sent him the link yesterday. Not sure if he got it from me first or someone else.
Posted by Domingo on Aug 30, 2009 five to eleven pm
Well, I'm pretty sure he drank a lot of kerosene when he was a kid and it ultimately destroyed his brain, up to the point where he couldn't realize such a drink can't really exist, because nobody could drink acid (or pretty much every other Grog ingredient, except maybe artificial sweetners and SCUMM) in real life without instantly dying.
I would like to know why didn't the reporter list SCUMM as an ingredient but Dr. Cormillot did, and why none of them mentioned propylene glycol.

What I really wanna know is who wrote that mail to C5N and what did it say!!!!

But maybe that is the secret of Monkey Island. No matter how hard you try to make something look unrealistic/ironic, some idiots will still take it seriously. Like anouncing a super secret and watching other idiots trying to find out what it is for YEARS.

What a shame that my country gets known for this kind of things really, I still cannot understand how nobody tried to stop this before airing... who could think that a kid can actually survive this?
To make things worse Cormillot is actually a well known and respected doctor here, but the bit about Scumm was just too much, the can say anything!
The worst thing of all is that nobody in that network ever played Monkey Island... how could that happen?

I'm sure Ron had a big plan. Creating the Scumm engine and the Scumm alcohol delivery and then making the recipe to this dangerous drink.
Maybe... that's The Secret of Monkey Island?!?
I hope the new version of the drink, Grog XD is included in Tales of Monkey Island in some form.
Saludos desde Chile!
