Here in Australia, a company called healthy Harold travels around to schools in a van educating kids able it bullying and drugs and stuff and their mascot is a giraffe puppet
I remember when I was about 7 or 8 a conspiracy theory was made up by some kid that Harold did drugs and he taught kids not to do them so the police would never think that he did drugs and I shit you not we all believed it. So this one at lunch about a couple of weeks after the rumour spread, our class had to stay in so our teacher could explain to us that a giraffe puppet that goes around in a van teaching kids and alchol and drugs didn't do drugs
although i grew up in a town with a pop. of <100
Sorry, had to.
I knew a guy who always tried to debunk it, it got pretty hilarious
