By MisterMisinformed - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - Canada

Today, I found out that Whoopi Goldberg was NOT Oprah Winfrey's stage name. I was then laughed at for ages by my co-workers. FML

No, they are two different people. Oprah Winfrey is the daughter of Sidney Poitier and Josephine Baker, and Whoopi Goldberg is the love child of Eartha Kitt and Richard Nixon. Now that you know this, impress your co-workers with these golden nuggets of knowledge.

If I had made that mistake, I would have laughed along with them. I don't really see this as being FML material.

35, calm down. That doesn't make him a racist for thinking all black people look alike. I think all white and Asian people look alike, and I'm not a racist.

To do something for ages ≠ years. It can simply mean a very long time, like the rest of the day.

Ages always sounds stupid cause it's not a well defined unit of time.

Oh...Cause.Canadians don't watch TV or American programming.....they also don't EVER get to see American made movies like the rest of the world either? You and the OP have got to be the biggest dumbfucks ever.

To be honest I don't really care about the daytime talk show host and washed up comedic actor right now. I just know enough to tell the difference between the too. I wasn't generalizing celebrities, I really don't care about these specific ones. Although there are certainly a lot more on the list.
