Québec Hates Spoons, Apparently

"In April 2006, Luc Cagadoc, then seven years old, was humiliated by a teacher at Lalande School in Roxboro who mocked him for eating with a fork and a spoon," saying to his mother, 'Well madame, you are in Canada, here in Canada that is the way we eat! You should learn the way Canadians eat!'

Eating with a fork and a spoon is common practice among many Filipinos.

Cassie Bernall Was Ever Asked if She Believed in God

Contrary to popular belief (and utter insistence), the Columbine shooters never asked Cassie Bernall if she believed in God before shooting her. It was Valeen Schnurr, and she "was shot before her exchange about God."

Death is bad, but so is fetishizing it.

Bobby Kotick Is (Probably) A Pedophile

Along with Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Bill Cosby, Blizzard Activision CEO Bobby Kotick had his name in Jeffrey Epstein's 'little black book'.

It does not prove that he is a pedophile, but he was probably a pedophile.

Trump’s Ego Is Stronger Than a Colonoscopy

"Donald Trump refused to go under anaesthesia when he had a colonoscopy because he did not want to hand power over to Mike Pence."

Turns out, blowing smoke up your own ass all day gets you a bit used to it.

James Woods Is a Cocaine Addict

After suing an anonymous Twitter user for $10,000,000 for calling him a cocaine addict, James Woods then proceeded to laugh at his death like a classy lad.

On a similar note, James Woods is also a pedophile. He does not hide it well.

Harry Potter Was Almost Animated

“I did think it would be worthwhile for Steven Spielberg to direct [but] one of the notions of Dreamworks’ and Steven’s was, ‘Let’s combine a couple of the books, let’s make it animated,’ and that was because of the [visual effects and] Pixar had demonstrated that animated movies could be extremely successful."

There Are No Bears in Europe

"Eurasian brown bears were used in Ancient Rome for fighting in arenas. The strongest bears apparently came from Caledonia and Dalmatia," but due to over-hunting, have not been seen in Britain since 1000 AD.

Patrick Wilson Plays an Unfortunate Number of Pedophiles

Much like his character in Hard Candy, the role Patrick Wilson is most known for, Ed Warren, was probably "a pedophile, a sexual predator and an [sic] physically abusive husband".

While an accusation is only that, an incredibly specific clause in their movie contract forbids the Conjuring films depicting them "engaging in crimes, including sex with minors, [or] child pornography."

(Chris D'Elia also played a pedophile twice.)

Lauren Southern Helped Inspired Fifty-One Acts of Murder

Despite her arguments to the contrary, when one of her fans committed an act of Islamophobic, eco-facist terrorism, he was supporting Rebel Media, her previous employer.

Also, mocking her is why I got banned from Twitter.

Mr. Beans Car Was Dumb on Purpose

"By being a three-wheeler with an official mass below 450 kg (992 lb), the [Reliant] Robin could traditionally be driven by holders of a B1 category driving licence [...] which gave a saving of £55 a year over a conventional car."
