| 释义 |
The Burlington Liars' Club is an American organization that awards the title "World Champion Liar" annually. The club, located in Burlington, Wisconsin, has been bestowing the award since 1929, when two freelance reporters made up a story about handing out a medal for the year's best lie and sent it out for publication. Otis Hulett and Manuel Hahn fabricated a news story about a lying contest between the Burlington police and fire departments. The "winner" was the police chief, who denied ever telling a lie.
