The Forrest Gump example should teach you one lesson: ask for a cut of the GROSS, not the NET profit. Also, bring a lawyer.

I never got the stereotype about chicken and watermelon,.. As a kid I was always like, uh yeah black people like them because DELICIOUS!
GeneralCaptainCrunch
I'm a black adult and I still don't get it.. though I don't like watermelon
Banquo
I'm a white guy and I do love mayo though :)
GeneralCaptainCrunch
Mayonaise is fucking amazing though, it's like the best condiment to put on burgers/sandwiches.
Banquo
So if we get everyone to put mayo on a fried chicken sandwich people will get along?!
GeneralCaptainCrunch
Probably not. Nice try though.

80 cigarettes a day...?
GoochoLibre
And for someone with such a prized voice, no less.

Four decks a day. In those days, pretty cheap. How much booze did she guzzle at age 16, though...
AlienPossibilities
There was a time when it was advertised that a brand of cigarettes could be used as a form of weight loss/diet.
jannebrauns
80 cigarettes times 5 minutes per cigarette is 400 minutes. Which is around 6 houres and 42 minutes of smoking a day. Oh hell no
L0rdAv0n
5 minutes? Those are rookie numbers
GRMurph
Depends how much coke you're doing.
Sijil
Try 2-4 minutes per cigarette for the average smoker, especially chain smokers.

Renouncing your US citizenship doesn't do shit to save you taxes.

it can if he renounced it, filed his final return and then sold his stock.

Savings Account likely =/= money market, IRAs, etc for the sake of that statement.

Even if the numbers aren't completely accurate, this is true.
barnwolf
People under 20 account for 26.9% of the population. I'm guessing that's a bit part of it.

Hmm, yeah that could contribute. I don't remember when I first pushed past $1k in savings.

I don't understand the Sesame Street one. What does being imaginary vs. real have to do with sexual abuse?
dangerkitty
It was a running gag that only Big Bird saw Snuffy and everyone else would playfully tease him about his imaginary friend.
dangerkitty
I guess they were afraid they'd teach kids that people (particularly adults) might not believe them when they were being serious.
dangerkitty
Also, BB would get blamed for Snuffy doing something despite his protests. So there's that aspect too.
ACatNamedVirtute
The others wouldn't believe him about snuffy being real and they were afraid kids would think their parents wouldn't believe them either.

Sure, but really it wasn't for the children's benefit. It was for capitalism. It was to get parents to buy a bunch of toys.

yes, for laissez faire. precisely the economy america was built around.

I heard about it on This American Life which was before Game Grumps. I'm cooler than you are.

i'm confused. what's wrong with brown m&m's?
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
The way GG's Danny described it, because their shows require a high amount of equipment, and set up in a very specific way. For one show>
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
they required that the stage be able to handle a high amount of weight. Mid Show the stage basically collapsed. Costing them, and the venue>
giveittomestraightlikeapearcidermadefrom100percentpears
loads of money to repair, and loads of pissed off fans. So the brown M&M's is actually a really clever tactic used, its seemingly a tiny>

thing.But if they can see "they forgot the M&M's. They probably didn't read the rest of our specifications for the setup".It saves them time

[citation needed] I have found that while lot of Kickass"facts" aren't strictly untrue, they are presented in a dishonest way.

FDR could kinda hobble about when he wanted, using leg supports and his lying hips. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvKDwBMEycw

Or sourced from Wikipedia which is just as bad.

It's intellectual dishonesty... the presentation of things that are true to advance an idea you know to be false, or at least less true
kosmoosi
Yup. Didn't fit in the allotted 140 characters and wasn't bothered enough to make a multicommented point.
Kigerone
I appreciate site that you took time to comment on a comment past your comment.

Much like those crazy state laws. Although not untrue they tend to be on a broader range instead of one crazy instance.
Kubiera
I can tell you that the first one is true. (Literally just Google it)

Sure, I just said that many of these were intellectually dishonest at best, but wasn't saying that they all were.

At the very least they're entertaining as stories.

Sure. In ancient Rome people respected a man who could tell a good story, whether it was true or not - that was irrelevant.

It's true. Sanders, Clinton and Trump all know how to spin a narrative.
