In the film Clerks II, Randal Graves constantly says that Anne Frank is "the deaf, dumb, and blind girl" despite repeated statements by Dante Hicks that he is referring to Helen Keller.

This meme is frequently repeated in FARK.com headlines, and on various discussion boards around the internet. Often, these are accompanied by additional failures of history, such as suggesting that Susan B. Anthony was the first woman to complete a transatlantic flight, or that Sacajawea saved John Smith from the Indians at Plymouth rock.

The meme holds steady, as it is a fairy specific set of circumstances that invokes the meme, such as hiding in attics, or references to the deaf, dumb, and blind.
