No, but they might have thought it was the legally declared kind, with Congressional approval and all that.

A few years back, Jim begged me to go with him to a movie he really wanted to see. When I asked him what it was about, he said it was about some people who get themselves into a desperate bind and struggle to get themselves out of it while the bad guy messes with their heads. I hadn't heard of the movie, but it sounded okay, so we went. It was "Saw," I hated it (as I do all horror movies), and I had nightmares for nights after. Yeah, Jim was an ass for doing what he did (which wasn't exactly lying), but ultimately, I had no one to blame but myself because I didn't question him further.
