C'mon guys. This is NOT a thread about Mandella, it's a thread about a mentally unstable supposed sign language interpreter. PLEASE stay on topic. Beginning to think I should have skipped this thread but I really wanted Bob and Joe's input.

I share your curiousness Dan. Its been on my mind, the wife of a good friend is an interpreter, I have been wanting to ask her opinion. According to her there are many "dialects" of sign, not too many different "languages" though.
She interprets for kids in high school shop class currently, lots of good stories!Of all the paths you take in life - make sure a few of them are dirt.

Sorry for being late to the party..
When I first saw clips I thought it was a South African dialect..
THEN..a real South African deaf was on the news, and his, I understood alot more of.. With his guestures and signs.. Alot the interpreter's "signs" were gestures.. Facial expression is very important in interpreting.. He is pretty dead..
He said he took ONE YEAR of classes... To train for interpreting in America, it takes years.. Some less, because their parents are deaf..
There was a hilarious clip on you tube that was making fun of that guy.. But most deaf got offended.. I thought it was funny.. It has been removed..
Bad part of all this is the rights we fought to have interpreters in those spots will go away.
One friend said that Obama was in no danger as crazies do not hurt each other... Sorry for the political slant.. Supposed to be funny..
There is an interpreter out of Bangor Maine that interprets rock shows.. And she was asked by a rapper to sign some dirty words. She did.. Yes it is possible to cuss in sign language.. This lady travels the country, learns the songs and timing.. There is nothing worse than an interpreter telling a joke, then laughs at the punchline and not finishing it.. Or late..
In short, pretty shameful that someone like that got to be in front of the world..

Simply put.. Somebody dropped the ball..
That fake has murder, rape and kidnap charges against him..
For other incidences
Bears mentioning.. He stood up there 4 hours+
Normally they switch off every 45 min to an hour..
Saw a clip just now where he was making balloon animals! Gawd! That was funny!Last edited by Deaf Bob; December 13, 2013, 10:27 AM.

I won't lie. A lot of this is bloody funny (read some of the best jokes about it here). The fake sign language interpreter is now a cultural phenomenon, featuring on major US comedy shows and catalysing a new meme. And yet, at the heart of this, is a terrible…
She makes some valid points..
Explains it a bit better.. .
It has really blown up on he comedic circuit..

As ambivelant as primitive is to gain a gov't sovereign.. maybe they do not respect deaf or disabled, the evil chain of listen to the strength, interpret no other.

Not accepting that is another world of shit upon oneself.
I hope comedy does something good with this stuff.
I wonder what SNL will do with it.Previously boxer3main

The whole story is shocking and sad. Shocking insofar as in a time where we're blanketed by security cameras, NSA surveillance, checkpoints, secure I.D.s, precautionary background checks, and other security intrusions, an imposter still could finagle his way that close to a stage full of world leaders.
Also shocking that someone would be so deranged or self-absorbed to intentionally perform such a grotesque and offensive mis-service to the hearing impaired, yet would remain undetected for so long.
But it's sad because it seems apparent that this imposter likely has a cognitive disability of his own.
