People who have lied about graduating from Ivy League schools

People who have lied about having graduated from Ivy League schools

It felt somewhat sickening to see people continuing to believe their lies even after they had confessed or were exposed, so this was created to prevent further damage from their lies.

아이비리그 학교를 졸업했다고 거짓말한 사람들의 명단입니다. 자백하거나 폭로된 후에도 계속해서 거짓말을 믿는 사람들을 보는 것은 다소 역겹게 느껴졌고, 그래서 그들의 거짓말로 인한 추가 피해를 막기 위해 이 캠페인을 마련했습니다.

これは、アイビーリーグの大学を卒業したと嘘をついた人々のリストです。告白したり、暴露されたりした後も、嘘を信じ続ける人々を見るのは、少しうんざりするものでした。そこで、彼らの嘘によるさらなる被害を防ぐために、このリストを作成しました。

這是一份謊稱自己畢業於常春藤盟校的人的名單。看到人們在坦白或被揭穿後仍然相信他們的謊言，我感到有些噁心，所以這份名單是為了防止他們的謊言造成更大的損害。
