Now that I've finally sorted out my DNS issues... 
I thought all of you might get a laugh out of this. From the website itself:
| Quote: |
The "Paul is Dead" urban legend that exploded worldwide in 1969 was considered a hoax. In this mockumentary spoof of "Paul-Is-Dead," a voice on mysterious tapes reveals a secret Beatles history, chronicling McCartney's fatal accident. A package arrives from London with no return address. Inside are two mini-cassette audio tapes dated December 30, 1999 and labeled THE LAST TESTAMENT OF GEORGE HARRISON.
A voice identical to Harrison tells a shocking story: Paul McCartney was killed in a car crash in November of 1966 and replaced with a double! British intelligence, MI5, had forced the Beatles to cover up McCartneys death to prevent mass suicides of Beatle fans. However, the remaining Beatles tried to signal fans with clues on album covers and in songs. What follows is a cover up, dozens of unknown clues, and a dangerous cat and mouse game with Maxwell, the Beatles MI5 handler, as John Lennon became increasingly reckless with the secret. |
Now I first heard of this from an AM Talk show host here (who also moonlights as a Power Pop musician). He booked the guy behind this so-called "mockumentary" on his show last November. At that time he really DID swore up and down that it was real. Now I don't know if he was trying to be:
!. a cross between Micheal Moore & Andy Kaufman. If he was trying to be prankster no.1--it didn't work.
or-->
2. He heard from Macca's lawyers and now it's a "mockumentary". Which he really swore that it wasn't.
I guess "funny" or "witty" wasn't in the script.
But I'm I too cynical? See the video on that link and you tell me.
