Urban Legend Spreading

[johnniehardrock]

Ok so I was thinking today that when i was in like 7th grade i heard the Rod Stewart thowing up cum on stage story and the Richard Gere gerbil story but how did it travel around. We had no internet at the time like we do now to spread stories all over like now. How did they get around so fast

Probably the same way slang does in the black community.

Anything gay gets spread wide, and normally stinks if ya think about it.

wasnt it dog semen?

I really think it's the whole "6 degrees of separation" thing, to be honest.

It's amazing how you can travel almost anywhere in the world and meet someone who knows somebody you do.

Add into that equation that the rumors are based around the entertainment industry; only people who are interested in it would hear the rumors and talk about them and spread them.

I'm sure my dad never heard the old Rod Stewart story or the Richard Gere one because he has no interest in Rock N Roll or movies, but that's all my friends and I ever talked about.

The version I heard was that it was Elton John's, and he had to get his stomach pumped.

I have no doubts that some guy sticking something up his ass and some guy swallowing a bunch of cum is all you and your friends ever talked about.

its gotta be easier for someone famous like you.

oh fuck you

[yojimbo7248]

it's funny thinking about what I was dumb enough to believe as a kid. The version of the Rod Stewart story that I heard had him rushed to the hospital to have his stomach pumped and the doctors finding a ridiculous amount of cum. it doesn't even make sense but I believed it.

I'd love to find out how the Gere gerbil story got started.

[drjoek]

Wait
Those stories weren't true?

Wow I did not know that.

Some gerbil who hooked up with him, but didn`t get a little gere in her made the allegation. It`s the same thing as the Rothlesberger situation.

Well said GVac.

[PapaBear]

I've said this before, but it was the same thing with Space Shuttle jokes when the first one blew up, and John Lennon jokes when he was shot (I almost got in a few fights over those). The same jokes were being told all over within a day or two.

[Devo37]

Pony Express.

[sr71blackbird]

I heard the stomach pumped version, and somehow must have missed the Richard Gere gerbil one. What was that about?

He blew a bunch of gerbils.






Actually, he was alleged to have crammed them up his ass and had to go the hospital to get them out. I think there's a more modern celeb who has replaced him on that one, just as with the Elton John/Rod Stewart one. And an addition to the Gere one, it's been said in the past few years that that rumor was stared by a pissed off Sylvester Stallone because of a beef over The Lords of Flatbush.

[sr71blackbird]

Did that really happen? Him shoving gerbils up his ass I mean?

Is that cum on display at some Hardrock somewhere ?

[tanless1]

I used to wonder this myself and not just about the stories you mentioned.

Two in particular would be Mikey from the Life cereal commercials stomach blowing up from eating Pop Rocks with soda and there being spider eggs inside of Bubble Yum gum.

There was no way to pass along this info quickly like we can today, but it seemed like wherever you went, people heard of these rumors.

[TripleSkeet]

When I was a kid the gerbil story was linked to a news anchor Jerry Penacoli. I remember all kinds of people talking about it. It got to the point where he had to leave television.
