A right-wing aquaintence of mine claimed that he had seen video of Obama tripping a girl while watching his daughters soccer game. I’ve googled it, and there are plenty of still pictures of him at the game, and plenty of right-wingers claiming to have seen the video, but nothing concrete. Anyone know what this is all about?
I know it’s one of the stupidest-sounding things I’ve read all week.
Not you, Johnny Ecks, the troglorights.
It was a fake gag-video on Jay Leno’s show a couple of days ago.
Yes, on the Tonight Show and it was hilarious, in large part because of the look the tripped youngster gave Barak.
Obviously fake. Knee slappingly funny.
At :20.
Johnny, you need new acquaintances.
Tell them that Jay Leno is a liar.
Are you questioning Jay Leno’s investigative reporting? Lefties will do anything to quash anti-Obama news.
There is some inherent internet law (the Snopes Law maybe ?) that says no matter how glaringly fake and/or satirical a video/photo/story is, someone somewhere WILL claim its real.
I think you’ve just coined “Griffin’s Law.” Now we need a Wikipedia article to give it the final gloss of credibility. 
I thought the best part was Obama’s facial expression afterwords (presumably really a reaction shot after his team scored), he looks rudiculously triumphant over having tripped a five-year-old.
There is Poe’s Law, but that doesn’t quite fit, so Griffin’s Law it is!
All good, a one-two chucklepunch.
Of course he tripped the girl - I mean, look what he did to this poor, defenseless cat!
Griffin’s Corollary
Well, I considered it to be a form of Poe’s Law, or of the axiom of which Poe’s Law is an example; but OK, Griffin’s Corollary to Poe’s Law, seconded.
The analogy is Finagle’s Corollary to Murphy’s Law.
Murphy’s Law says “If there are two ways of doing something and only one is correct, the incorrect one will be done.”
Finagle’s Corollary says “Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.”
