I know!
He was constantly in the papers in the 1990s, major figure, every mac madra knew he was alive, where do they get this shite.
Yeah, I never understood that either. He was the president of South Africa from 1994-1999. Yes, he kept a lower profile in the 2000s, but I remember even as a kid/teen seeing articles and photos of him in the news. Bizarre.
Now the Berenstain Bears one, I understand. At the same time, I just chalk that up to spelling. For what reason would I need to know how to spell "Berenstain?"
I had one like this where I was shocked to learn there was never a band called Chumbawumba; they are called Chumbawamba and have been all along.
Next you're gonna tell me their hit album was called "Tabthamping" instead of "Tubthumping!" Where does it end?!
Honestly though, I thought the same!
