* [[http://www.snopes.com/glurge/twoquest.htm A popular chain e-mail]] offers the reader a choice in leaders between a pair of lazy, womanising drunkards and a chaste war hero. After you read further along, you discover that the drunkards were UsefulNotes/FranklinDRoosevelt and UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill, and the war hero was UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler. This is actually inaccurate, as Hitler had a girlfriend (whom he married before their suicides) and Churchill was extremely loyal to his wife (but he ''was'' [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne a drunkard]]).
** There's also the anti-abortion argument in the same link, which paints a squalid picture of a mother of a huge family riddled with health problems and no father mentioned, and then "reveals" that the last potential child is Music/LudwigVanBeethoven. Beethoven was the third child of professional-class parents, wealthy enough to give him an extensive musical education, and only a few of his siblings even survived infancy. Some have reversed this it by using an example of a boy born to [[KissingCousins cousins]] with the father being abusive to him, with the reveal that it describes Hitler, to point out this absurdity (with the implication that if he'd been aborted, millions might have lived).
