Hold on to your copy of Brain Age boys and girls, because we are about to get really stupid up in here. Any self respecting gamer knows what grog is, but for those non-self respecting gamers out there I'll fill you in. Grog is the made up drink that the pirates in Monkey Island drink. Its absolutely ludicrous ingredients are in fact one of the first things you can learn in the game. The ingredients are so over the top that there is no way anyone could possibly think the drink... is... rea...
Sigh. Nevermind, someone is that stupid and he has a spot on television to show it off. Above you can watch a real life Argentine reporter report on "Grog XD," a drink he has appeared to have discovered while using Facebook and stumbling upon a group that shares drink recipes. Watch as he uses his fancy touch screen to literally check off one ludicrous ingredient after another and yet still fails to realize that the drink he is describing would literally kill anyone who drank it. Who lets these people on television? A quick Google search instantly shows that this version of grog is from a videogame and actual grog is something completely different.
If you live in Argentina could you please find this guy and smack him upside the head for me.
[Thanks, Fernando D.]

XD
^That's how he's gonna feel after a sip.
"Grog XD" is what they think the name is. Fucking idiots.
@TheWaltonFirm
Watch the video man. They actually use the Monkey Island drink recipe which includes kerosene, rum and battery acid!
ah yes. I am impatient
Yea, I make reference to the real drink in the last sentence of the second to last paragraph.
Kidding aside (I <3 you Argentineans), this has got to be the dumbest thing I've heard ll week. Goodness, some people make me wish that there were sarcasm classes available so they would know when people are just joking around and not being serious about drinking FUCKING KEROSENE.
Grog is actually a very strong type of Ale I believe. Hardcore Beer, basically.
But I've seen and had worse doctors overseas, believe it or not!
For the argentinians in Dtoid, today also appeared on TVR, so the correction has been made, and I hope that journalist, and that shitty channel (C5N) go to hell for such stupid and ignorant disinformation.
