- [Narrator] We've all
heard the old saying, don't believe everything
you read on the internet. And these people demonstrate
why that's such sound advice. Luckily, for every liar
out there in cyberspace, someone is waiting to call them out. Check out the hilariously
embarrassing ways these people got exposed. - [Animated character] Amazing! - [Narrator] Several
reputable news sources posted false headlines, claiming the death of Lance Armstrong. According to these breaking news stories, he died from stage 4 colon cancer, as confirmed on Facebook
by his daughter, Anna. His fans were shocked and
devastated by the announcement, until Lance himself came out
to prove the reports wrong. He took to Instagram with
a quote by Mark Twain, stating, "The rumors of my
death are greatly exaggerated." This quote was paired with
a video of the cyclist holding up a phone
displaying the bogus article, while smiling and shaking his head. So, maybe you're not quite the Picasso you've always wanted to be and that's all right. Just don't do what this person did and try to pass off a default drawing on the Apple Procreate App as your own. After claiming to have spent ten hours working on the art project, someone quickly recognized
the photo and exposed them. One woman was outraged when two younger individuals didn't offer up their seats to her on public transportation. She took her ranting to Twitter, with a selfie featuring the two girls, and the following caption: Inconsiderate youths
occupying the disabled seat while an elderly woman is
standing right in front of them on the DLR. Her complaints might have
been taken into consideration if it weren't for the empty seat shown right behind her in the photo. I guess she didn't care at all for the backlash this tweet received, as the post was removed
shortly after going viral. Jimmy John's is the star behind both of these embarrassing displays of internet fakeness. In the first image, one person claims that their influx of wealth
is causing personal problems by stating, the more money
I made, the faker they got. Their coworker promptly
replied to the statement and revealed that they
each pull in $7.75 an hour working at Jimmy John's. Now, who's the fake one again? In another fast food fiasco, Jimmy John's tagged Wendy on Twitter for hashtag national kiss a ginger day. To which Wendy's replied, Not sure how we feel about kissing someone with two first names. Things got awkward when Jimmy
John's returned the tweet, revealing the redhead's
full name, Wendy Thomas. So much for that match
made in corporate heaven. This shady attempt at
knocking down the competition took things to a whole new level. One restaurant owner left a review attempting to tarnish the
reputation of his competitor, while directing potential customers to his establishment. His restaurant rival publicly
replied to this review with the following statement: I know that you work at that
other place you mentioned. Pretty damn dirty tactics
you guys are trying to gain business and shame mine. It's all good though, no
hard feelings from me. I'll just keep doing my thing. Keep smiling and good luck, Adam. Hoo, hoo, hoo, busted! Someone posted an attention seeking status that was made to look like
their profile was hacked from a library computer. The status read, I have nice hair, flirt too much and I need to learn how to
log out of library computers so people don't post statuses for me. It's a shame this person was too busy tooting their own horn
to notice it was marked, via mobile. Unfortunately for this poster they came across more sad than social. No one likes a know it all. So, it's no wonder that this
kid got outed by his classmate following his braggy post on Twitter. The student declared that he
was able to solve a problem that even stumped his teacher. He went on to explain how the teacher asked him to instruct the class instead. Another student commented and
called him out on his lies. If only he hadn't made the post public for his entire class to see. Some kids truly are
wise beyond their years. And others just think they are. Take these two for example. The first photo shows Tyrion Lannister, from Game of Thrones, with the caption: I drink and I know things. One kid reposted this photo, stating, my whole life story. Interestingly, someone else comments and calls him out for being 15 years old. It turns out he probably
doesn't drink or know things. One disgruntled restaurant patron took to the internet to
share his dissatisfaction with Happy Hour prices. In this review he explicitly listed every menu item he ordered, said he'd never visit
the restaurant again, and threatened to tell his friends about the horrible experience. A local guy defended the establishment by tallying the cost of his order, most of which wasn't listed
on the Happy Hour menu. Thereby justifying the tab total. Maybe this cheapskate
should stick to fast food, or just ordering off the
actual Happy Hour menu. Vegans have a reputation
for being overly outspoken about their meatless ways. This particular person doesn't do the world
of veganism any justice when they get shamelessly
called out on Face Book. After proclaiming their
choice to banish meat online, for everyone to see, someone revealed inside information. You weren't about that life today when you got your Chipotle bowl half chicken, half steak. L, O, L Most people don't care if
you want to eat meat or not, just don't lie about it. At first glance this looks like an innocently adorable
photo of a cat and dog cuddling on the sofa. And that's because it is. What's unusual, however, is the person claiming ownership over pets that clearly aren't his own. It didn't take commenters long to recognize these two pets from popular Instagram accounts and expose the poster for lying. If this guy needed a furry friend he should've just checked
out his local shelter instead of stealing photos from Instagram. Now I can't deny the wealth
or success of the Kardashians, but calling Kylie a self-made
billionaire is flat out wrong. Luckily for us good old dictionary.com came to the rescue to set
things right by stating, self-made means having
succeeded in life unaided. Used in a sentence, Forbes
says that Kylie Jenner is a self-made woman. To be self-made it's expected
that you start from zero, not a top and already existent fortune. I wonder how Forbes felt getting schooled by an online dictionary? These days it's hard to distinguish between actual fitness experts and self-proclaimed workout gurus. One trainer bragged about the success of their client on Face Book, followed by a motivational lecture. To their embarrassment, someone noticed the girl in the photo and called the poster
out for taking credit for another success. English singer/songwriter, Lily Allen, defended herself against
a Daily Star article that accused her of calling
the royal baby a conspiracy. In true European fashion, she properly replied to
the statement by asking, no I didn't, why you lying for? They later added the word
fans onto the headline, which makes sense, but the Twitter post was definitely knowingly misleading. Perhaps this clickbait
site will think twice before spreading lies
about Miss Allen again. Clearly, she knows how to defend herself and isn't afraid to speak out in support of her fellow Brits. Ben Shapiro, an American
conservative political commentator, writer and lawyer, put
his foot in his mouth after tweeting the following statement: Renewable energy, dumbest
phrase since climate change. See the first law of
thermodynamics, dumb ass. A professor for Engineering Thermodynamics responded to this tweet, telling Shapiro he should request a refund for his primary degree based
on his lack of knowledge. (air sucking in) Oh, ouch! The First Law of Thermodynamics asserts that energy cannot
be created or destroyed, only transferred and transformed. Which doesn't disprove the
usefulness of renewable energy; since renewable energy transforms energy from sources that are
naturally replenished. He later admitted that
his comment was wrong, but that doesn't mean that we can't still get a good chuckle from it. Ikea is a Swedish founded
and American loved furniture retailer that recently defended their American pride against the judgment from a concerned citizen. On an announcement posted by Ikea, declaring their grand opening of their Jacksonville location, one person expressed worry over the fact that they displayed
American and Swedish flags at the same height. Ikea responded by quoting
the United States Code, which states that flags
of different countries should be flown at the same
height on different masts during a time of peace. Now let's stop trying to outshine everyone and get back to the
fantastic deals on furniture. There's nothing more awkward than mistaking a living person for dead. That's exactly what
happened to Rotten Tomatoes when they attempted to celebrate the life of John Carpenter
in the following post: John carpenter would have
been 70 years old today. We celebrate his birthday by looking back at his five favorite films. It's all good because John
politely replied to this Tweet by letting Rotten Tomatoes know that he is indeed still
alive in this statement: To Rotten Tomatoes,
despite how it appears, I'm actually not dead. Rotten Tomatoes may wanna
double check their facts before marketing someone as deceased. Some people think they're so clever. Like this guy, for example, who tried to outsmart everyone with his NASA knowledge. The boaster went into detail about how Americans
handled the need for safe, functioning pens in space. He concluded with a snarky comment about how the Russians solved the problem by choosing to use pencils over pens. In fact, a version of the
story's been circulating online for some time. But, it's not entirely true. Sadly for him, someone on
the internet knew better and exposed him for being a snide moron. Apparently snapped pencil lead, made from graphite, is particularly hazardous in zero gravity; as it may fly into air
ventilation causing fire hazards. Which is why both the Russian and American space agencies switched to
pressurized ball point pens as soon as they could. Is it just me, or was
that embarrassing exposure particularly satisfying? Notable entrepreneur
and investor, Elon Musk, was the target of a rumor
started by Complex Media. Although the gossip wasn't
necessarily negative in nature, it was false nonetheless. The pop culture media platform posted, Elon Musk gave Kanye
West and Kim Kardashian a custom silver Tesla. Elon Musk wasted no time
in responding to the story in five minutes, by simply saying, this is false. He shut that right down
and I'm happy to hear it. If anyone deserves a free new
car, it's not Kim and Kanye. It's a good thing Elon Musk is so attentive to internet gossip because a lot of false information
is circulating about him. This time he faced
accusations from BBC News, who stated, Elon Musk's
offer not practical for cave mission, Thai rescue chief says. Once again, Musk quickly defended himself, by posting this statement, The former Thai provincial governor, described inaccurately as rescue chief, is not the subject matter expert. That would be Dick Stanton, who
co-led the dive rescue team. This is our direct correspondence. He followed the retort
with screenshots of emails between himself and Dick
Stanton as confirmation. This post put BBC News to shame and proved once again that Elon Musk will always come back swinging. I think it's safe to say these people got what they had coming to them. It just goes to show that
lying on the internet is never a good idea. Do you know someone who's been embarrassingly exposed online? Let me know, the best stories you know, by leaving a comment down below. Thanks for watching. (techno chimes)
