This one was referred by a coworker.

The automated Panda Bear Cell Phone
Picture behind the cut…

So, having been led to believe that PRWeb was actually a news distributor. When the story came across my desktop… I was willing to believe it.

After reading more about PRWeb as well as some of the journal purportedly belonging to the lately possibly not late Mr. Kaufman. I’d say this is an apropos hoax commemorating the 20th anniversary of his passing.

The story is just believable enough knowing his style and vein of humour. But, at this point… At least until pictures surface or reports pop up on a more legitimate (read corporate owned, not necessarily more honest) news site… I think we’ll leave Andy in the grave.

Inituary – the opposite of obituary

Andy Kaufman… the opposite of comedian…

Andy Kaufman… not really dead.

Excerpt:
Andy Kaufman Returns After 20 Years

Andy Kaufman faked his own death 20 years ago and has returned, alive and well. DNA tests prove that this is indeed the real Kaufman and not another hoax. Some fans are outraged, others are just glad to know the legendary comic is alive.

Why doesn’t this surprise me?

Edit: And he has his own blog now.

MEMEtime: Kinda neat

Edit: Thanks to blk I corrected the spelling from babylon to babalon. I’m gonna get in SOOOOOOO much trouble for that one 😉
