Magnus Carlsen is likely the one using vibrating anal beads to cheat at chess

I think that Magnus... he's recognizing that the guy that he's playing against is stealing his trick, which is also using anal beads. Whoever smelt it, Delta. I think Magnus Carlson is the guy with the anal beads that's accusing our maybe our baby goat, our American goat.

The theory itself was a viral joke/hoax and never verified as a real cheating method used by either player.

Batman and Batgirl are siblings in DC lore and their relationship is incestuous

Batman and Batwoman were depicted as parents and Robin and Batgirl were depicted as their children. But then... Robin and Batgirl are supposed to be siblings and they're fucking, so they're like, oh, they're not gay. They're just incestuous.

In most DC continuities, Batgirl (Barbara Gordon) and Robin (Dick Grayson) are not siblings; they are protégés of Batman. Big Cat is misinterpreting the 'Batman Family' concept which was more of a group title than a literal bloodline for those specific characters.

The Will Smith slap of Chris Rock was fake because Will Smith taught a kid how to fake slap a month prior

The upcoming Game of Thrones prequel will be disappointing because it reminds fans of the original show's ending

The end of Game of Thrones sucks. And they're never making more Game of Thrones ever again. So even though if this is good, it's still one of those things where if you watch it, you're like, this is the best series ever. Can't wait to see what happens. That person is going to be disappointed. It's going to bring back feelings of just like sadness.

The 'Sopranos' prequel being a movie is worrisome because it's hard to compact 7 seasons of quality into 2 hours

The trailer for the new movie—it's a movie. I thought it was a TV show and the fact that it's a movie is a little bit worrisome... I just feel like it's going to be hard to—the TV show was so good because you can extend the episodes, make them long, have it played out over seven seasons.

Citizen Kane is no longer the best movie of all time according to Rotten Tomatoes

Someone that works at Rotten Tomatoes found an 80-year-old review... talking a negative review about Citizen Kane.
