MYTHBUSTERS: LEPPARD EDITION

oKay people I’m fucking dYinG over this-

So if you’ve been keeping up with literally anything Leppard’s been posting over the past month, you’ll know they’ve been promoting the hell out of this insanely overpriced line of ‘designer’ tshirts and hoodies and such by a company called Project Presents

The line is called Leppard Lyrics

It’s super officially licensed stuff, even so that Sav’s son Scott modeled for them

Even SAV helped promote it

The designs are pretty cool, but it costs WAY over $100 for any given one of them, no matter what article of clothing you buy, so you’d be crazy to spend money on it imo- no matter how high the quality or UV activated shit claims to be. Besides, they only come in black.

They have designs for Animal, Billy’s Got a Gun, Let Me Be the One, and so forth,

and then there’s THIS:

the “faith over money” design.

Now I know what you’re thinking: you’re either thinking “where the fuck is this from and how the fuck does it resemble Leppard, anyway? Did they just pick some random edgy-sounding phrase and put it in a Leppard font?” or “Oh it must be from Blind Faith, right? That’s the only Leppard song that has the worth ‘faith’ in the title, right?”

Well, 

If you thought option #2, you’re only partially right.

Because if you google the lyrics to Blind Faith, you get this:

And if you google “Def Leppard Project Presents Faith Over Money”, you get this as a result:

You see both of these and you think “okay, that must explain it- it’s from Blind Faith after all! Let’s click on it just to make sure-”

But when you click on it-

The design got taken down weeks ago. I’m pretty sure it was only available for a week, if not a little longer, BUT it was still available long enough for people to buy it

All the other designs were still available, but not this one. So why? 

For one thing, according to the lyric sheet that came with the vinyl- the only times they say the word “faith” in Blind Faith is in the lines “is my faith enough to keep them alive” and “faith hope and glory”. Though it’s incredibly easy to mishear that line as “faith over money” (I’m guilty of that myself as I was investigating this), that’s not what the line is.

Don’t believe me? Listen to the song yourself.

Here’s further proof that the line is “faith hope and glory”:

**In conclusion (TL;DR):**

This brand of clothing that has been promoting the shit out of this new collection and claims to be SO high end got the lyrics wrong. They got the lyrics wrong and printed it on shirts that sold for more than $100. They googled the lyrics and didn’t even check them officially. Sav was working so closely with them, and they still made this mistake, and tried to cover it up by taking it down. They exist, and they’re out there. 

Imagine how much they’re gonna be worth in the future oh god

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Don’t understand the issue... there is obviously a correct answer here

Both C and D can’t be correct, because they’re inconsistent. In C, the first half of the number assumes a description of the digits, while the second half assumes that the verbal numbers each translate to a digit. D is the same but reversed. Because of this inconsistency, it rules out the verbal sentence from describing either of those numbers in a logical manner. 

Meanwhile, despite the fact that B is consistent in its method of transcription, it can’t be the right answer either because it’s grammatically incorrect. If B were the right answer, it would be clear in the question, which would say two zeroes, two fours. Because the sentence does not pluralize zero or four, we know it can’t refer to B, which has a plural amount of each number.

Process of elimination means that the correct answer has to be A.

omg that coworker story is such an embarrassing obvious lie i am eMBARRASSED that i had to read it with my own eyes

i texted lizz about it on two separate occasions last night because i think it's so funny.

i love how people reblogged it after, just not acknowledging the fact that it 100% never fucking happened to anyone ever anywhere

for real, it's so smug that it's up there with "i was disowned by my gay dads for being asexual" and the "down with cis" bus for me for fake-ass bullshit political posts.

i'm very glad i found it again. i saw it once a long time ago and foolishly did not reblog it. but now i have it and it's safe in my arms

I couldn’t find any of these larger than like 300-400 pixels, so I decided to make my own HD version. For the full 2000x1124 size copy this and paste it in your address bar... trying to make a link just uploads and resizes the picture again.
