"This poll was not honestly worded; I do not trust the numbers". Originated from an episode of
Penn &
Teller's Bullshit! where P&T interview
Frank Luntz, a pollster for the Republican party who specializes in "testing language and finding words that will help his clients sell their product or turn public opinion on an issue or a candidate."
On the show, he admits in his own words he was hired by media companies like FOX News "to ask a question in the way that you get the right answer". P&T suggest the next time you see a pie chart you remember Frank. They joke they have 27% of people (in the studio)
pledged to yell "Fuck you, Frank!" whenever they are confronted with the results of a poll, and encourages viewers to do the same.
Example:
Frank: Do you think U.S immigration policy is unfair towards Mexicans?
Cindy: Yes
Frank: Do you think the U.S should enforce
border security and end
birthright citizenship for illegal aliens so a second 9/11 can't happen?
Cindy: Yes
Frank: Ha, ha! I got you to
contradict yourself!
Cindy: Fuck you Frank!
