3: Mandela Memorial Sign Language Fraud


In late 2013, Nelson Mandela passed away at the age of 95. His funeral took place on December 15th and was televised across the globe. Included in this broadcast was the man on the right hand side of the above picture, who was hired to do the sign language for each of the speeches. As it transpired, this man was a fraud, and his signing turned out to be complete nonsense. But what did YouTube have to say about this?








Let's kick things off with Themaker4u, or as he seems to be better known... Magnum fucking P.I. He's figured it all out here, and he's performed his civic duty by signing into YouTube and revealing his genius observations. We'd be lost without you, Themaker4u, and I for one thank you for your service. 7mong61, on the other hand, saw through this one straight away:






Meanwhile, R Hill gives his rather misguided critique on our fraudster's performance...







Far be it for me to have an issue with this, but I have to say I do. It would be fair to say he "signs stupid", or indeed that he "looks stupid", but considering that this guy is communicating in a language that does not use any kind of sound whatsoever, it's a bit unfair to say that he sounds stupid. I'll tell you who isn't stupid though. nash man. He has it all sussed out, and he knows a crip when he sees one...






I'll have to take your word for it nash man. On the other hand, StretchDouche just can't control his anger, and is clearly outraged by this whole turn of events...






...much like how the name StretchDouche is an insult to usernames, I imagine. Etevaldo3000 is quick to defend the poor chap, by trying to explain to the rest of YouTube exactly what was going on...






...while Red Green has a warning for us all...






I won't Red, I won't. This next one is included solely on the basis of the username. Apparently our fraudster makes it straight to number 1 on the official "greatest troll of the century" list, compiled by the one and only expert group known as....






TheFukkles.

Hilarious.

In the end, we have round up the blog by standing up and saluting the YouTube user Billy Whizz, for being absolutely fucking hilarious...






Stay classy, Billy.

Stay classy.
