The Onion Reports - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Makes Virtual War As Boring As Real War

We Made Russian News Under False Pretenses! Hooray!

If you don’t remember our Warner Bros Harry Potter video, now would be a good time to rewatch. In it, comedian Rob Delaney posed as a Warner Bros executive and told Harry Potter fans to fuck off and stop whining about the delay of the release of their movie. It’s a very funny video and was well received. However, Russia (we’re not singling out a news program; we’re gonna credit the whole country for this) decided to misinterpret the video and think it was actually Warner Bros telling fans to fuck off. If you speak Russian, like I do, you will hear the reporter talk about Warner Bros’ “risky move of releasing a video through web portal Comedy.com”. Russians also translated Delaney’s vulgar rant using colorful Russian phrases such as “dick in a cup”.
