Five Things the Mainstream Media Doesn't Want You To Know

As we all know, the media is generally quite biased. Holding back the truth to slant opinions and always lying about what's really going on. However, I'm here to clear it all up for you with the facts the mainstream media is hiding from us. Read it and be not only shocked but angered by the lack of information given to us that is vital to our existence.

1. Taylor Swift is Actually Britney Spears and Britney Spears is Actually Courtney Love and Courtney Love is Actually Kurt Cobain

What is honestly more maddening than being told that someone is lying about their identity. We all have been bamboozled at one point or another by an ex boyfriend or a family member who is completely lying about their identity. Well, to make matters worse, this false identity crisis is being spread by the mainstream media in their tyrannical reign to ruin our minds and lie to us about who is who.

2. The State of Maine Doesn't Even Exist

That's right. The mainstream media is at it again making you think things exist which in fact do not. Such as the state of Maine. Ever had a family member visit Maine and post all those nice photos in such lovely areas as Portland or Bangor? Well, they aren't in Maine, they are in the mainstream media's construct of Maine. Where they really are is a third dimension that the mainstream media constructed that causes one to think they are in Maine when really they are having their minds wiped by the CIA all while thinking they are shopping in delightful seaside towns and eating fresh lobster. Are you mad? I know I am.

3. A Small, Poor, Orphaned Boy Ghostwrote Everything for Charles Dickens Because He Was Too Busy Counting His Pens To Write

Ever wonder why Charles Dickens' novels are so filled with despair and dark settings? Well, it's all because all of his books were in actuality written by a small, poor, orphaned boy who lived a life of despair and sadness. Why? Well, because Charles Dickens was far too busy counting all of his pens to ever start writing. In fact, Dickens had so many pens that his house was consumed by them and ultimately led to his death by pen crushing. Something else the media doesn't let you know.

4. The Television Show, "Green Acres" was Actually Cancelled Because Every Time It Came On Spiro Agnew Screamed Incessantly and Richard Nixon Couldn't Take It Anymore

Yes, that's right, an American classic canceled because of the selfishness of a former president. You thought Watergate was bad? Let's be looking at Acresgate, the real tragedy of the Nixon presidency. Also for Agnew's screaming, apparently he had a fling with Eva Gabor in the early sixties while both were working for an anticommunist league of militants, and knowing she was on television caused him to scream.

5. The Russian Government Has Implanted Small Lasers in the Eyes of All Squirrels In Case They Need to Start Instant War Among the Rural Inhabitants of Any Country

Vladimir Putin is a Grade A Badass.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
