MythMakers
"We discovered that a shark can actually..." | |
One of the more popular shows worldwide is Mythbusters.
Two guys, having the time of their lives, disproving popular myths and misconceptions.
Coming soon, the opposite. A TV show where we create and demonstrate plausible myths, for the amusement and edification of the credulous public.

So, you've halfbaked the Discovery Channel? |
|
| |
I hate it when I hit Enter early. It's like premature expostulation. |
|
| |
It led to a premature annotation on my part [UB], now deleted since you amended your idea. Cigarette? |
|
| |
No thanks. Those things can drag your death out longer than a month of wet Sundays [mtn]. |
|
| |
Introducing a new show, MythRusting! |
|
| |
Give me a little while. I'm kinda busy, writing a report right now. |
|
| |
I suppose the same could be said of all of the UFO specials, Pyramid specials and Nostradamus specials, [jutta], but they're hardly a weekly show to drag the moro... err, viewers... in, to buy crystals and fake pyramids and scraps of "ancient" papyrus scrolls. |
|
| |
The two unadulterated purposes of this show are to propagate ignorance and prejudice among the populace and to create immensurable profit for the Dark Lor…,err Network Executives. |
|
| |
Sober enough to work the spel-chacker, sober enough to halfbake. |
|
| |
Right you are [bigsleep]. |
|
| |
You know, if you put glass underwater, you can cut it with scissors. Yup, that's right. |

Bruce Lee's one inch punch was so powerful, it actually created diamonds in the bruises he left behind. |
|
| |
Using lenses, a telescope and some chicken wire, you can actually focus the tv signal that gets transmitted through the air, and project it onto a wall. |
|
| |
Chiuauas communicate via radio signals transmitted through their extra glassy eyes and collected by their dome-shaped ears. |
|
| |
The Fonz has been found depicted in cave paintings over a million years old. |
|

If you wallpaper your house with dollar bills, the government *has* to pay all your utility bills. |
|
| |
You can distil pure LSD directly from household chemicals and a saucepan. |
|
| |
Electricity is actually the energy created by the dancing motion of millions of angels trapped in wires and batteries. The government has special factories where millions of pins are brushed free of angels into collecting receptacles (using tiny marmot-fur brushes) that are later turned into electricity. |
|
| |
Brass Eye, per coprocephalous' link above, did just this with the added extra bonus of luring gullible celebrities into endorsing what was being said. Recommended viewing. |

There is a bogeyman under your bed, and he is trying to eat you. Your father is in cahoots with him. Sleep with a knife in your grip and one eye on the doorknob. |

Shania Twain has a wooden leg... |

I like this idea. It would be quite fun to add extra pages to newspapers with strange stories and see how long it takes to propegate |
|
| |
that's baked here on April Fool's Day. |

Please do not feed the list. |
|
| |
Ah, that's what they want you to think. |

Noooo, no, no, no, no, no, they brush the angels off the pin HEADs, not the pins. Get your facts right! |

[bigsleep], thanks for those. They are quite useful especially because I am a member of another forum where most picture memes come from (Where the rover/over picture, Argentinian footballers holding handbags and the spoof bbc article about the whale in the thames came from). They have also been used in the Sun, Sport and various other newspapers and the person that runs the website has appeared on a TV top 100 show taling about the numa numa song |
|
| |
I think I've seen that one - it was a kind of backlash to the whole whale story - let me see if I can find it... |
|
| |
I just linked it. It was made as a joke due to constant converage in the papers at the time |
|
| |
Hah! It's sad, when media coverage is so overhyped that people feel spoofing it is necessary. |
