			Surprisingly enough, some groups are actually quite capable of delivering what they promise. A prime example would be {{Fbgroup\|330378415696\|"If 1,000,000 people join this group, nothing will happen"}}. Usually considered a sub-class of the previously mentioned class, the major difference is that rather than saying something that only an idiot would believe will occur by joining the group, the event described will, in fact, occur completely regardless of whether or not a user joined this group. It is well known that these two classes constantly compete for supremacy on the idiocy meter.
