THE BIGGEST LIES THEY TOLD US THIS DECADE

5. Sudoku was fun.

Just read the description: Sudoku - combinatorial number-placement puzzle in which the objective is to fill a 9×9 grid with digits so that each column, each row, and each of the nine 3×3 sub-grids that compose the grid (also called “boxes,” “blocks,” “regions,” or “sub-squares”) contains all of the digits from 1 to 9. Need I say more?

4. Nipplegate: It was a “wardrobe malfunction.”

Justin Timberlake sings in “Pose,” “It’s time to expose and break off the roles now take off your clothes, get real close up to the light, and do that thing, show you’re right,” or if you’d prefer to keep your clothes on, he’ll just pull them right off for you. Sorry Janet, should have seen it coming.
