Dawson Creek.
Some of you out there may think that Dawson Creek is a city in British Columbia. Boy are you wrong. Dawson's Creek is actually a television show that so was megahugely popular that it catapulted every single person who ever graced the screen into megahuge superstardom +1.
To clear up the misconceptions, let me break it down for you:
Dawson Creek is not a town in British Columbia known for being an agricultural town that is connected by railroads and highways. Dawson's Creek is actually a vehicle for selling stuff. Like music. A lot of music that snobs wish never became popular. And other stuff too. No one is really sure what Dawson's Creek was all about, but whatever it was, it was popular.
The fake Dawson Creek has some crazy page all up on Wikipedia that is obviously made by ignorant folks. They must have made up at least 99% of the bullpoop written on there. Here is an example (fake source:

Quote:
The City of Dawson Creek is a small city in northeastern British Columbia, Canada. It covers an area of 20.66 square kilometres (8 sq mi) with a 2006 population of 11,615 people.[1] Dubbed "The Capital of the Peace", it is a service centre for the rural areas south of the Peace River and the seat of the Peace River Regional District. Dawson Creek turned from a small farming community to a regional centre when the western terminus of the Northern Alberta Railways was extended there in 1932, and the US Army used that terminus as a transshipment point in 1942 during the construction of the Alaska Highway. Most of the city's development occurred between 1942 and 1966 when highways and railways were built connecting the farming area of the Peace River Country to the rest of BC through Dawson Creek.
Dawson Creek derived its name from the creek of the same name that runs through the city. The creek was named after George Mercer Dawson by a member of his land survey team when they passed through the area in August 1879.[2] The city, at the southern end of the Alaska Highway, is known as the "Mile 0 City" and is also home to a regional fall fair, heritage interpretation village

There are even fake pictures to try to lure people in:

They were obviously getting desperate, trying to pass off a set of Elevators in their art gallery as art. FLAME ON.
No, truth is that because of Dawson's Creek we now get to live the lives of the biggest names in Hollywood, and possibly the universe.

Michelle Williams (Jen) - Extreme humanitarian and adopter of the entire continent of Africa. Also figurehead for PETA and the NRA.
Joshua Jackon (Pacey) - After starring in a few teen-horror flicks, decided to give up the limelight and focus on his studies. Now a Nobel Peace Prize winning author for his book,
Limes. They Make Mojitos and Things
Katie Holmes (Joey) - Faded into obscurity. Last seen in Las Vegas trying to get married at a 24 hour wedding facility to a large balding man with bad personal hygiene.
