Well, it is in our TiBB calendar, so it deserves a thread:

June 5th is Festival Of Popular Delusions Day. To understand the
holiday, you must be familiar with D-Day. If you’ve been living under a
rock, new to the planet, or suffering from delusions of your own, let me
remind you: D-Day was June 6, 1944 — the day of the Normandy invasion
which cracked the Nazi grip on the planet.

In Germany on June 5th, 1945 (the year after D-Day– yet one day before
the anniversary of D-Day), the Festival Of Popular Delusions Day began.
This day marks the Nazi’s plan for world domination — the Popular
Delusion of the day — right before its fall. A reminder that
delusions and delusional leaders can be dangerous. They too can be
‘cracked’ and reality will force them to fall to an invasion of reality.

It’s a day for ourselves to perform a reality check not only on our
selves as individuals, but take a look at the popular ideas of the day.
Are we living with delusions? Among delusionary leaders? If so, we
should be making our own plans to shatter the delusional holds upon us.
Today we celebrate Popular Delusions Day with some serious thought to
the matter.

So share in here some popular delusions... if you will

You're a braver man than me going down on Susan Boyle.

It wasn't a pleasant experience.

It was like falling out of a Russian helicopter in a radiation-contaminated, overgrown, sub-tropical bayou with a leaking sewer line flowing freely into it

One I had when I was a kid (which terrified me) was if I looked out of the window on Halloween night, I'd see a witch flying across the sky.

I always made an effort to avoid making eye contact with the window on Halloween.

Oh yeah, that's a classic that will probably never truly die down.

Even though it's obviously a load of rubbish, I still don't think I'd ever do it, just because there's a part of me that's always going to be superstitious. I don't believe in the Bloody Mary myth specifically, but part of me believes in the existence of the supernatural in general (to a degree). I just don't want to meddle with that stuff. If anyone ever asked me to use a Ouija board, no way would I do it.

That Charlie Charlie thing was a recent reinvention of the idea too.
