    Ryan Reynolds just said “meet Eric” to introduce a frog on a Nat Geo nature show like this one and I’d just like to let you know a superstar just plagiarized you

    Really. The headline itself "True Facts…." should be a warning against this channel. Someone who doesn't understand basic logic – if a fact is proven "untrue" then it is no longer a fact. But let the headline be a warning. Written by someone obsessed with sex and genitalia – so, yes, basic understanding of English would be beyond him.
