Either these people on the streets of Los Angeles really believe that President Obama has a newborn son, appointed Dennis Rodman ambassador to North Korea, and watched Titanic with Kim Jong Un during a recent slumber party, or they're really good at messing with Jimmy Kimmel Live's crack squad of "Lie Witness News" interviewers. Their elaborate answers suggest the former, but it's hard to tell. I mean, it's at least plausible that Joe Biden would have made a "Your mamma's so fat..." joke to Vladimir Putin, right? —Peter Weber
