Default Andy Kaufman

Did you guys read the article about him? He decided after 20 years to make an appearance again and let his family, friends, and fans know he really isn't dead.

Did this guy ever think about the pain he caused people, especially his mother, 20 years ago when they thought he was dead? How freakin' self centered can a person be?

Now he's getting recognition because he pulled the ultimate stunt off. "Convincing the world he was dead."

It's hard to say for sure though. Maybe his family has been in contact with him all along and just are saying they had this person have forensic analysts determine this person is the real Andy for the sake of the ultimate stunt? To make things more believable.

As sick and demented as the joke may be, he did manage to pull it off for the past 20 years. He capitalized on his "death", now he's going to capitalize on his "resurrection".

Just makes you wonder though if he did allow his own mother to think he's been dead for 20 years. That's pretty extreme and demented, even for just a joke.

Celebrities... LOL!

No way... I've been a fan of Andy since he first appeared on SNL doing the Might Mouse bit.

Panky, are there any credible links to more information on this?

I haven't followed the Netpond thread, but this link was sent to me on ICQ. It might've come from the Netpond thread.

If anyone could have and would have pulled it off it would have been Andy Kaufman. But I don't believe for a second that he did it.

You know, I don't believe he is alive, but I would not put it past him to have left something in his will to have a person pull this "I faked my own death" stunt on his behalf 20 years after his death.
