Mandela's Fake ...




  1-2-3 FAKES in ONE

JOHANNESBURG — A man who appeared to provide sign language interpretation on stage for Nelson Mandela's memorial service, attended by scores of heads of state, was a "fake," the national director of the Deaf Federation of South Africa said on Wednesday.

The unidentified man seen around the world on television next to leaders including United States President Barack Obama "was moving his hands around but there was no meaning in what he used his hands for," Bruno Druchen, the federation's national director, told The Associated Press.


Shades of Garret Morris, wot. If you count fake SNL newsreader Chevy Chase, there are four fakes in this picture.

Dammit, how many times I gotta tell you guys . . . he wasn't signing gibberish -- he was translating into International Governmentese.

That's why people couldn't understand what he was saying. They weren't SUPPOSED to!!

I don't know what you people are talking about. It's perfectly clear. He wants the runner to steal second.

Common guys!....It's not reality that counts. It's how things are perceived that matters...... You know, just like politics and customer service.

I love this story.

Maybe we can resurrect the “signing” version of the ghost of George Orwell to interpret what was probably a more accurate interpretation of the bullshit strewn on that stage yesterday.

Do these Leftists even know how easily they are pawned?

Add a few narcissistic “selfies” from “world leaders” for flavor, and you’ve got societal collapse on a global scale.

I say “whoa”.

The continuing saga of symbolism over substance. It don't mean nothing, if nobody knows what is being signed...he was trying real hard. Then again, it was poli-tic-ians speaking, and prolly no one understood what they were saying either...What? Their lips were moving?

Come to find out said interpreter is a violent schizophrenic.
It's not often you see two of them sharing a stage...
