A guy I used to know was telling about a British children's TV show where all the characters names were actually double entendres.
It just so happened that I had recently read the fascinating story about how this wasn't true at all, despite the press writing that it was and so on and it was just a successful urban legend.
He said no it's really true, he'd seen it himself on TV. I later sent him over email the article describing the legend. Anyway he got really mad at me for just saying that and went round telling people I was an asshole for destroying this story for him. I was really surprised that someone could be so upset by that.
