Andy Kaufman: Holy Shit - Can You Hoax a Hoax?

my msn today told me about that once.i didn't pay much attention. it'd be neat.

i read all of his blog thingies last night. i don't know enough about kaufman to tell if it's really him or not. they weren't very funny.

not funny. that sounds like andy

PROOF! [b]PROOOOOOFF[/b]!!!

It's too easy for someone to fake if it's just a website. Too hard for me to believe at least.

worth noting that the article was a press release "issued on behalf of the above organization [Andy Kaufman] by the eMediawire Newswire, a service of PRWeb™. http://www.prweb.com"

Interestingly, his mother, says it's him. So she's in on it.

I actually [i]want[/i] it to be true. That would be a great trick.

you think kaufman would do that?
come on...

I think he's the only one who would fake his death, [b]and then come back[/b].

i think the joke would be on Andy if he came back and no one cared

[QUOTE=karbunkle]i think the joke would be on Andy if he came back and no one cared[/QUOTE]

but it seems like something andy would do.

also peep the death cert [URL=http://andykaufman.jvlnet.com/death.htm]here[/URL]

Now it's Jim Morrison's turn to come back.

I don't care if Andy is dead or not. He sucked.

I wish Bill Hicks had only faked his death.

Ditto for Hendrix

Everyone knows Kaufman is dead. If you think otherwise you are just a naive moron.

Now, excuse me, Im going go smoke a bowl in my garage with Kurt Cobain.

He's dead d00d

You guys prolly go around tellin' preschoolers that there ain't no Santa Clause, too, huh?

way back in the day there was a huge urban legend that cobain faked his death and moved to the sticks in canada somewhere. remember that? while im sure kurt is dead i have to share this story. years after the UL stopped circulating (the late 90's i think) my friend and i were huge IRC junkies.. and in our time there my friend met a guy named kevin in a canadian chat room. this kevin guy looked like he could have been kurt (plus 20 pounds or so) think jason mewes after rehab here people. this dude played guitar in a grage band. he said when kurt was alive kids used to stop him on the street for his autograh. so someplace in canada theres a buncha kids with this kevin dudes name on their nevermind CDs.. anyways.. he never claimed to be anything.. but he used to say things that made me wonder... once he said "my ex wife is a bitch. shes probly told my little girl ive been dead for years." i used to try to get my friend to get him to call us, cuz i knew more about nirvana than she. and i told her i could get him on the voice if it was him. dont think he ever called. nut it was an interesting summer talking with this guy. and on the snowballs chance in hell he wasnt some guy named kevin.. maybe just maybe i swapped lyrics with KC. at any rate its a neat story eh?

that is pretty neat. I mean, theres only a TINY chance it was him, but thats still some chance. If he had called you that would have decided it, too bad he didnt.

[QUOTE=Tuffy the Dump Truck]"Twenty years ago, on May 16, 1984, most of the world believed that we had
lost a comedic legend forever. This has turned out to be what will
inevitably be known as the greatest comic prank ever conceived. Andy
Kaufman, by all accounts, is alive and well at age 55 and is now living in
New York City on the upper west side."

It's got to be a joke. I need to read the article more closely...

From Andy's Blog:

"Where are you living?

I do travel quite a bit, and have lived in these places and more: Aruba, NYC, Key West, the Philippines, [B]various rural Texas towns[/B] , throughout the Caribbean, and many more. I’m not going to put my current location, as it will probably change every few months as I go exploring."

what if all those tabloid elvis sighting over the years , it was andy dressed as elvis running around ?
whoa !
