On April Fools day the US cable channel Adult Swim played a complicated kind of prank. Instead of screening Rick and Morty, they screened an 11-minute parody of the show featuring two characters called "Reek” and “Mordi.”Made by Australian animator Michael Cusack, the episode featured the two protagonists traveling to the Victorian town of Bendigo, which gets featured as a very dark, bogan place.The parody episode featured on loop, and was shared across Adult Swim's social channels where it was seen by millions. As the Guardian reports, Google searches for "Bendigo" ballooned almost immediately.But not everyone was thrilled. Bendigo's mayor, Margaret O’Rourke, watched the parody without having ever seen the source material. “Obviously there are different tastes for everyone,” O’Rourke told Calla Wahlquist at the Guardian. “But I believe the Google searches have soared ever since it was released, and people would know by those searches that Bendigo is nothing like what’s in the parody.”She admitted "any publicity is good publicity" but maintained the place had been unfairly portrayed. “Bendigo is a very vibrant and beautiful place and nothing like what has been displayed,” she said.
