Satirical news audio over party montage from @bluebirdhardwater

The creator pairs a satirical audio clip from the 'Onion News Network' with a montage of video clips from a college party. The audio claims that a study found most Americans get their exercise while drunk, and the visuals humorously illustrate this by showing people taping cans to their hands and partying. The video's comedy comes from the literal and absurd juxtaposition of the serious-sounding news report and the chaotic party footage.
