Sign language interpreter at Mandela memorial a poser ?

[Flesh Thorn]

Posers every where...

A man who stood close to President Barack Obama and other heads of state while providing sign language interpretation at Nelson Mandela’s memorial Tuesday was a “fake” who was making up his own gestures, sign language experts say, raising questions about the security at the event.

"[He] was moving his hands around, but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for," Bruno Druchen, the Deaf Federation of South Africa’s national director, told The Associated Press Wednesday.

The country’s deaf community and the ruling African National Congress have no knowledge of who the man actually is, despite him appearing on television gesticulating alongside South African President Jacob Zuma last year, Reuters reported. Zuma’s office is trying to figure out the man's identity.

He would have gotten by if he only held up the middle finger.

In this case it's appropriate.

The only sign language interpreter story I've heard that was funnier was the comedian who noticed one in the front row at one of his shows, so he proceeded to say blowjob over and over for five minutes, then had the interpreter ask her audience out.

See, this just proves there is no real serendipity in the world. Why couldn't he have had a wildly violent hallucination during these gasbags' blather-fest?

The thing about crazy people is they don't know they're crazy....and from my experience most schizophrenic people have no idea they are having an episode when it happens. They tend to believe their delusions to be reality. Just ask me later when Steve comes back....

Well, it would have made the speeches more interesting.
