Chinese Whispers

The phenomenon known as Chinese Whispers stems from the game of the same name.

A message is passed, by whisper, along a chain of people.

When passing information from one party to another the facts and theme often become distorted.

The game is most entertaining if the final message bears little or no resemblance to the original.
