Some people really do hear what they want to hear – especially if it includes Emma Watson and Margot Robbie appearing as lesbians in a film together.
Satirical news site The Portly Gazelle actually keeps crashing because so many of you are foaming at the mouth over the idea of a Brokeback Mountain remake featuring the two actresses.
Despite the professional font and logo, the website actually uses the disclaimer:
All stories on this site are satire and the opinions expressed to not belong to any real people. If persons appear in the picture they have nothing to do with the story.
To make you feel better for getting all excited about Hermione Granger and Harley Quinn getting it on, here are a load of people on Twitter who fell for it too…
Maybe ignorance really is bliss…
Takes this poor woman for instance – they raised her hopes up and bashed them right back down again. Poor girl…
The Portly Gazelle claimed there had been a press conference with production company River Road Entertainment where both actresses were present and said:
[They] were both beaming with excitement at infusing their own touch on the threefold Oscar winner flick.
The made-up quotes from the actresses were particularly amusing. The website stated:
When asked what they were expecting from some of the more raunchy girl-on-girl scenes that are inevitable, they didn’t seem to have any qualms.
“Us both being straight won’t be a problem, we’re actors, it’s just something we have to do”.
As always, the sceptics of Twitter brought everyone crashing back down to the sad reality of this prank…
This girl’s obviously been trolled before…
Even though this was just a joke, we kind of now hope that some eccentric Hollywood producer responds to the hype and pours a load of cash into actually making this happen.
