Trash Ummm… Aquaman isn’t Real.

Posted by Wm. Steven Humphrey on July 12 at 9:45 AM

TV lovers love HBO’s Entourage—a tale of young Hollywood bucks making it big in Tinsel Town. In the show, the lead character Vince Chase lands the role of a lifetime playing Aquaman, which in the show grosses more than the real life blockbuster Spider-Man. NOW HERE’S WHERE TRUTH AND FICTION COLLIDE. HBO ran a two page ad in Variety congratulating the fictional Aquaman movie on setting a new record—which CNBC’s Joe Kernan then reported in his show as the real thing. Reality can be so confusing!!


Whoops. Don’t want to look like a jerk? The moral is simple: WATCH MORE TV.

The funny thing is that an Aquaman TV pilot actually was developed for the WB, but did not get picked up.

Trailer here.

Warning: VERY GAY.

Who needs common sense or basic google skills when you can just read off press releases and have great hair?
