I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

There’s also the one about how a singer sucked so many cocks he had to go to the hospital and have his stomach pumped. In my day it was Rod Stewart but I think there have been versions with newer rock stars

When I was a kid it was Sheryl Crow. In like 1998.

In the 80's there was an awful lot of Satanism everywhere in the US and every band you liked was definitely secretly Satanic. The height of the Satanic Panic is not something easily explained to people who didn't live during it. There were travelling preachers who would go from town to town giving lectures about how rock music is evil and playing Led Zeppelin backwards and such. Geraldo Rivera did a whole TV special about it...unreal when I think back on how crazy it was.

I wanna sing one for the cars

And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

When I was in late elementary and early middle school, everyone was obsessed by the concept of "initiation." There was this rumor going around that, when we got to middle school, the 8th graders were going to "initiate" us with some sort of humiliating/painful ritual; after this didn't happen, the rumor mutated into the initiation happening at the end of the school year, with the outgoing 8th graders initiating the rising ones. This also didn't happen. I really have no idea how we all decided that the 8th grade class would spend this much time and effort hazing the entire class below them, but we were completely convinced and terrified of it!

One thing did come of the initiation rumor, though; the summer before I started middle school, some kid dropped an intimidating letter about "initiation" on my front porch, with a gob of peanut butter (?) inside the envelope. There was no follow-up. I still don't know why the peanut butter was there -- like, did they think it looked like poop or something? Because it didn't. It looked like peanut butter.

There was another one about Marilyn Manson. The ribs thing was one. But also one where at his concerts he would have sex with a cat until it died, and then cut it in half and threw it into the audience! This scared the crap out of me because lots of kids in school were wearing Manson shirts at the time and I thought they were all severely deranged and dangerous for liking someone who'd do that.

IIRC Manson did actually briefly wank on stage one time and got in legal trouble for it.

I always heard crazy stories about how insane GWAR are live, with the singer ejaculating goo from his two giant cocks into the crowd, various creatures being blown up in a huge gory splatter on stage, the audience periodically beating the poo poo out of each other...

But it turns out those things are actually true lol

McDonalds used kangaroo meat in their Big Macs. Or so a friend of a friend told me.
McDonalds's "meat" supplier was called "100% Australian Beef" so they could say "our burgers are made with 100% Australian Beef!" even though they were actually made from random animals and sawdust.

I remember like a decade ago, McDonald's Australia actually put out an ad campaign addressing all the urban legends :lol:

at my school a sheep... died from penetration of the anus and the official story backed up by the ag department was that an alpaca had done it, it was only a few months ago i found out that actually it was believed to have been a human, to this day nobody has any idea who it was, and because this was a christian boarding school the staff agreed upon the alpaca story to prevent hysteria and disrepute. the alpaca in question remained at the school and was treated with great respect thereafter

I was raised a Jehovah's Witness and during the height of the Satanic panic we heard all the usual things a nutty religion would try to scare you with, like playing a record backwards or the possibility of being infected with a mind-controlling pervert demon through your ears, from rock music.

We were also scared of Smurfs.

There was the Smurf doll that would get up and dance in the middle of the night, the Smurf wallpaper whose eyes would glow in the dark. One persistent rumor had it that a Smurf doll one day said, "gently caress this loving bullshit!" during a meeting and went on a tear around the Kingdom Hall.

I remember telling someone about this legend (an adult) that it was one of the members of the New Kids in the Block. Actually, it was my mom I told. And she was like, you wouldn't be able to tell if it was sperm, it would melt in the stomach acid. And I felt stupid.

(I had to look up boy bands to remember the name of the right boy band for this post)

Brings me back.

We had the Bloody Mary thing with the mirror and lights out and one time supposedly someone did it and ran screaming down the hallway.

Also, just for added flavor, I grew up in a cult, called The Community, and the school I went to was a school of all cult teachers with some non-cult students and all the cult kids in it, called The School. But even there we had these urban legends.

This one went beyond the usual rumor that dogged some kids for a while, and it went on for years.

This kid that was in my elementary classes was universally disliked, mostly because he had the most eye-watering stench to him. He was really quiet and mostly kept to himself, so that stink was like his only known trait. He had a sibling that was equally rank and always trying to pick fights.

So he was quiet, weird, reeked, seemed generally unkempt as well, and his family lived in this rundown house near the woods.

So of course the legend went his family were a bunch of killers and they hunted their victims in the woods and dragged the bodies back and kept them in the house. Then in early high school, that house was on the late night news, and the blurbs were 'shocking discovery!'

...it was a goddamn house of squalor. They'd been living in a filthy, cat-filled and garbage-laden house his whole life, and that reek was cat piss seeped into every crack and crevice of the home.

I had an elective with him my junior year, he was living with a relative then, and he was honestly a chill and really funny guy.
