Just look back at all the controversy that popped up over the years with Disney. The penis building in The Little mermaid, the word SEX in the dust in The Lion King. Aladdin supposedly saying "Take off your clothes" to the tiger in... well...Aladdin.
Notably, Snopes found those urban legends to be false, undetermined, and false respectively.

I don't trust that site, I can PROVE one of his "False" claims is actually true.
This is the scene where the minister becomes "Aroused" as he so puts it.
If he's looking on the new released dvd's, then I doubt he'll be able to find some of the things mentioned, mostly
because it'd be edited out. However, the original VHS' may have a different story.

For the still non-believers, this is the scene in the movie

How the hell could she ever do her job as succubus with that face?

She thinks global warming is an urban legend too:

Ok then! Thanks for the permission

BULLSH-T it hasn't been enforced.

Who is spreading this urban legends???

MG, fuck you and your 1st amendment right. The prevailing right over polling places is voter intimidation. You would have to learn some history about why this is an issue, but I digress.

I suggest you look into if your state will allow absentee voting, because you can do that in the comfort of your Colbert/Perot t-shirt.

It is state law almost everywhere. I wouldn't be surprised if US Code has some sections dealing with campaigning in polls, and yes, Virginia your button with a name on it is "campaigning".

I'm sorry, but as an absinthe drinker I'm calling BS on his statement that the effects of absinthe is somehow different from regular alcohol. Is it exactly the buzz you get from beer? No. Does it make you drunk? Yes. In no way does it remove your inhibitions while leaving you "clear headed" as he implies. You are just as messed up as you are with regular alcohol.

I think it is pretty much an urban legend that it make you hallucinate, or makes you in any way more creative than you are normally.

Most of the crap you hear about it is marketing stuff. The good news is that it is now readily available in the US so people can just go buy it and see what it is like first-hand.

Hilarious urban legend. It reminds me of the Chevy Nova in Mexico, where "no va" means no go, but 'Nova' has the same meaning as it does in the states.

Ich bin ein apple fritter.

I hate Griff and all his family ever since his dumbass brother got us killed in that raid...

But, seriously fox news can shove it. I've seen enough of their crap to never again pay attention to them. I would suggest everyone else does the same. Fox reminds me of that one family member that keeps sending you those urban legend chain-letters, even though you send them a link for snopes...

Apparently the jelly donut part was just an urban legend.

Here's Snopes's response to this urban legend:

Thanks for the link grinter! I changed my tags in your honor.

Some excerpts:

In fact, Kennedy's statement is both grammatically correct and perfectly idiomatic, and cannot be misunderstood in context. The urban legend is not widely known within Germany, where Kennedy's speech is considered a landmark in the country's postwar history. The indefinite article ein can be and often is omitted when speaking of an individual's profession or residence but is necessary when speaking in a figurative sense as Kennedy did. Since the president was not literally from Berlin but only declaring his solidarity with its citizens, "Ich bin Berliner" would not have been correct...

The citizens of Berlin do refer to themselves as Berliner; what they do not refer to as Berliner are jelly doughnuts. While these are known as "Berliner" in other areas of Germany, they are simply called Pfannkuchen (pancakes) in and around Berlin. Thus the merely theoretical ambiguity went unnoticed by Kennedy's audience, as it did in Germany at large. In sum, "Ich bin ein Berliner" was the appropriate way to express in German what Kennedy meant to say

According to an article on Wired, a headset company has fessed up to creating this *viral video.

Bluetooth headset retailer Cardo Systems has claimed ownership of the hot viral videos that show people appearing to pop popcorn with their cellphones.

In a video posted to YouTube on Wednesday titled "Cellphone Popcorn Mystery Resolved," (embedded, right) an advert for the company's line of headsets follows the grainy footage of friends aiming phones at uncooked corn that's been tallying millions of views on YouTube.

"The videos are spreading like wildfire, and becoming something of an urban legend," said Kathryn Rhodes, the national marketing manager at Cardo Systems in a phone interview Thursday. "[The viral-marketing campaign] been really successful at capturing the attention of all different kinds of users."

If Michael Jackson has taught me anything. He has taught me that zombies cant resist dancing (watch the Thriller video). I think this would be a good starting point for any zombie survival strategy. Unless this is just an urban legend.


No you fool! Michael Jackson first became a zombie before dancing...
