An extremely offensive piece:

You know about lemmings, right? Those little rodents that commit mass suicide by hurling themselves off cliffs? Everybody knows that.There's just one problem. It's not true. It's an urban legend, created by some people who were filming an award-winning Disney nature "documentary" back in the fifties. Lemmings are quite real, but their suicidal behavior is not.So here we have an interesting phenomenon: something everybody knows that's complete and utter bullshit. If that doesn't make you wonder what else you believe that's not grounded in reality, you're not paying attention.

It will be in our best interests to tell this THING how we feel about it.
(In other words, kill it before it spreads!)
