You Won’t Believe What Mandela’s Fake Sign Language Interpreter Was Actually Saying (Video)



In case you didn’t hear, there was a fake sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela‘s memorial service the other day and it was just hilarious (as well as totally disrespectful and kind of awful). The guy was so bad at faking it that within minutes, audience members who don’t even know sign language were calling him out. He was so bad, that  Jimmy Kimmelpointed out that he looked like a backup dancer for a 1990s boy band.
Confused and perplexed over the man who had the audacity to do this, the late night comedian brought on a real sign language interpreter to tell us what the guy was really saying, if anything at all, and it’s as funny as you could have imagined.

Did Paris Hilton Actually Just Confuse Nelson Mandela With Martin Luther King?


Did Paris Hilton Actually Just Confuse Nelson Mandela With Martin Luther King?
As we reported a short while ago, former president of South Africa and influential leader, Nelson Mandela, has passed away at the age of 95.
Naturally, like when any public figure passes away, the twittersphere has erupted with tweets, some of which were heart-felt, others not so much…  One of the major tweets being spoken about is from the account of model and now DJ, Paris Hilton. The tweet is as follows:
paris-hilton-tweet-elite-daily
Wow, really Paris? I think you’re confusing Mandela with Martin Luther King, Jr. Am I right, guys? How could she be so silly?
NO, it’s YOU people who are silly! Obviously, Paris Hilton is not dumb enough to tweet this (yes, I thought about this sentence before typing it). This is clearly a fake tweet that was photoshopped and put out on to the Internet so all of the gullible little yuppies could gnaw on it.

BREAKING: Nelson Mandela Has Passed Away At The Age Of 95

BREAKING: Nelson Mandela Has Passed Away At The Age Of 95
The president of South Africa has confirmed that Nelson Mandela passed away at the age of 95 today, December 5.
Mandela served as the president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999, becoming the first black president of a country plagued by racial divide, as well as the first to win a completely free democratic election in the country.
After spending decades in prison between 1964 and 1990 on a life sentence for high treason and conspiracy against the state, Mandela became known as Africa’s greatest symbol of peace, earning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
Nelson Mandela will forever serve as a symbol for hope, peace and unity, as his message will continue to live on.
