Cinematic chaos has swept Mudwick Isle. A mysterious influx of bootleg movies from China has sparked a goblin-wide obsession with recreating scenes from "The Hangover" trilogy. Shipping containers full of pirated DVDs, washed ashore by a freak typhoon (or a mischievous kraken), have unleashed a torrent of debauchery, questionable decision-making and a surprising number of misplaced chickens.
GNN has documented the mayhem in a series of increasingly frantic broadcasts, showing goblins attempting, and mostly failing, to recreate the rooftop toast, the tiger kidnapping and Mike Tyson's face tattoo.
"It's like a real-life Hangover movie, but with more fermented mushrooms and less Bradley Cooper," said GNN reporter Gnarlene, dodging a flying beer stein at a particularly raucous house party.
The Goblin Council of Elders was amused at first. Then the property damage started.
"This is not what we had in mind when we signed that trade deal," lamented Elder Gnarltooth, nursing a hangover and a suspicious bite mark on his leg. "We were hoping for exotic spices and silk robes, not a nationwide outbreak of drunken debauchery."
The Council has issued a series of increasingly desperate decrees: a ban on public screenings, a curfew on alcohol sales, and a threat to unleash the Goblin Glee Club on any gathering of more than three goblins.
None of it has worked. Fueled by cheap DVDs and an insatiable thirst for adventure, goblins continue to stage tiger hunts in the Fungus Forest and ill-advised roof jumps on makeshift ziplines. Elder Gnarltooth still cannot say where he got the bite mark, or whose tiger it was.
