1: Fall Out Boy are a band from Chicago, made up of four members... Peter Wentz, Patrick Stump, Andrew Hurley and Joe Trohman. Due to certain lines in the songs, they are considered EMO (by people who need to be shot), but they are actually NOT. They are critised alot for Patrick Stump's lead vocals, apparently, being "horrible" and "hard to understand". The answer to this is, of course, get your fucking ears cleaned out because if TONS of people can hear what the hell he says, why cant YOU?
2: A fact that is NOT known to many people, is that Fall Out Boy actually had a LIFE before MTV. And It was not up to the band to have hundreds of stupid airheaded girls constantly asking for their music videos to be played on MTV due to the fact that "Peter is so HAWT!!!" If you are going to blame somebody in that situation, blame MTV. Or better, the stupid airheaded girls.

Get the Fall Out Boy mug.The idea that, if you mitigate the consequences of a particular type of accident, then that type of accident will necessarily occur much more frequently, more than negating the initial benefit.
The CF assumes that human nature is perverse and seeks to equalize consequences. Hence, improved automotive technologies such as air bags, ABS, space frames, etc. will be offset (or more than offset) by careless driving, leading to increased highway fatalities.
FALSIFICATION: Empirical evidence shows that, while reducing consequences increases risky behavior, overall safety/health outcomes are better. Insurance companies with a stake in reducing claims verify this.
More generally, the CF confuses all forms of risk-taking, such as faster highway speeds, with fecklessness. Increased speed and convenience (for motorists) has utility; and there is no principle in welfare economics that says risk-taking will increase by an amount sufficient to offset the safety measures.

The massively overrated book *Freakanomics* (Dubner & Leavitt) includes many examples of the curmudgeon's fallacy.

Get the fall creek valley mug.1. When one spontaneously falls to the ground in an exagerrated, violent and impossibly hilarious way, often appearing to break every bone and dislocating several limbs.
Leland was walking down the side walk when he had a family guy fall, and broke every bone in his body, slipped a disk, and disloacted his arms.
