Click image to watch how the media fell for the Sochi Olympic prank
Please forgive us for not keeping up with the “news” like that, because this wolf at the Olympics nonsense flew right past us. After watching this video, we’re sort of glad we don’t stay hip to it because TROLL GAWD Jimmy Kimmel has done it again.
You remember the girl white girl who caught fire twerking, right? Jimmy strikes live from Russia this time, releasing a video of a wolf walking through Olympic dorms thanks to luger Kate Hansen. As you can assume, the YouTube clip caught fire across social networks and media rushed to report on why life in Sochi could be endangered with random wolf sightings. Of course, none of it was true.
Kate caught some flack for the prank at the Olympics in the days following, mostly because of the “breach in security,” but the truth was unveiled in last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! The greatest part of it all was the commentary from the news teams who covered the story. That in-depth analysis from CNN, FOX & NBC is 100% real folks.
Thanks for bringing us the news that matter, media.
