And now for the celebrity death hoaxes: 

9. Kenan or Kel – it could be either one, depending on who told it – was killed in a car crash (not true)

10. Eminem also died in a car crash, and was replaced by a clone (not true… probably)

11. Art Attack was cancelled because Neil Buchanan died of a heart attack (thankfully not true)

12. The kid who sang “They’re gonna taste great” in the Frosties ad killed himself shortly after it began to air (also not true, he’s grand)

13. A couple ‘from another school’ wanted to have sex but they didn’t have a condom, so they used a Tayto bag

14. If you regularly drew all over your hands with pen, you’d get ink poisoning

15. Those tiny red bugs you saw on concrete walls were called blood suckers because they SUCKED YOUR BLOOD

17. There existed a ‘brown noise’ that made whoever heard it soil themselves immediately
