Top Tweets for #SEVENUP

You cannot make this up. 🤡 Cambridge professor Jason Arday told a university audience he appeared on the TV series “Seven Up.” One small problem: that show premiered in 1964. He wasn’t born until 1985. He also claimed he didn’t learn to read or write until he was 18, then somehow ended up a Cambridge professor. Now he’s in the middle of a plagiarism scandal too, accused of lifting parts of his PhD thesis from someone else’s work. His response? He’s not a “liar” or a “fantasist,” just misunderstood. Being on a TV show that aired 21 years before you were born isn’t a “misunderstanding.” It’s fiction. 😂 At what point do we stop calling this an “error” and start calling it what it is?
