Whether it's video game consoles deemed to be a failure, or a candidate never thought to become president, what were some of the most famous examples of SA being completely wrong?

I wish I could think of them myself, but I don't have a clear memory or evidence of one.

We laughed a forums poster out of here and banned him as an unmedicated schizophrenic for claiming he was going to sue Bethesda for stealing the story of the Elder Scrolls from his research in Biblical codes and Ancient Greek research on Atlantis, which was actually a second moon of Earth that fell into the ocean.

As we have recently learned, he was in fact correct.

He was right about them stealing his story, the second moon, or both?

Look, the Mona Lisa's not a better painting, it's merely a more famous one, and it was made more famous because it was stolen. And this was stolen, so...

I remember this one kid from LF that had a house party and the cops got called. He got in trouble at home, and people here would quite literally tell him to kill himself.

He committed suicide a few days after the party by jumping off an overpass, and people made fun of him after dying.

I can't remember his name.

Edit: The part that I'm saying here is wrong is where people were actively encouraging him to commit suicide through bitter sarcasm.

This is kinda true. Despite their music and aesthetical choices, no denying that ICP, especially Violent J, are an ally to furries and queer folk. I'm sure they eventually figured out the magnet thing, but at least they aren't chuds.

I’ve always considered the magnet thing and the other stuff as jokes.

Still contemplating why I didn't register here under a clever pseudonym

I am reliably informed that there used to be a subforum called Don't Post Porn Here which was, in fact, full of porn. I'd say the title of that subforum was pretty damned wrong, amounting to a serious case of false advertising!
