Even if that’s only half of the truth, it makes a great story that people will tell
- dustingetz 6y agoEven the Obama-Os story is 90% fake, the story PG tells (and is repeated) is not even close to the story that the founder himself told on a startup podcast
- sukilot 6y agoWhat's the story? I thought they sold novelty cereal boxes as a fun side project and PG admired their creativity.

It's an exploitation of the silicon valley game - since everyone else is embellishing their stories and achievements you can just make things up entirely and pay no price for it.
