Potemkin village - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (416 words)
Potemkin villages were, purportedly, fake settlements erected at the direction of Russian minister Grigori Aleksandrovich Potemkin to fool Empress Catherine II during her visit to Crimea in 1787.
Conventional wisdom has it that Potemkin, who led the Crimean military campaign, had hollow facades of villages constructed along the desolate banks of the Dnieper river in order to impress the monarch and her travel party with the value of her new conquests, thus enhancing his standing in the empress's eyes.
The term "Potemkin village" is also often used by judges, especially judges who dissent from the majority's opinion on a particular matter, to describe an inaccurate or tortured interpretation and/or application of a particular legal doctrine to the specific facts at issue.
Propagandhi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (668 words)
Chris Hannah adopted the pseudonym "Glen Lambert" for use in the release of Potemkin City Limits, causing a great deal of confusion among fans.
While all the band members had used pseudonyms on all the previous releases and continued the tradition with Potemkin City Limits, in September 2005, G7 Welcoming Committee had announced that Chris had left the band in 2003, and the remaining members had found a replacement in one Glen Lambert, formerly of the Portage Terriers.
This claim was quickly proven to be untrue through a multitude of sources, but many fans, not realizing it was all a hoax, were victims of Hannah's sarcastic sense of humour.
