There is a guy pretending to be Andy Kaufman returning from the dead. This guy is such a scumbag, how can he have such a lack of respect for the dead? This is just pathetic. I hope Andy's family sues this guy for all he's worth, what a douche bag.
And no, it's not real. Andy Kaufman really is dead, he's not coming back. If it really was Andy Kaufman, he'd reveal it in a much more extravagent manner than starting a BLOG and releasing a PHONY press release. The press release he sent out was from PRWeb, which is a free service that will release ANY press release from ANYBODY, I mean look at this one: http://www.prweb.com/releases/2004/5/prweb127005.htm
It's really sad that someone as great as Andy Kaufman can't even Rest in Peace nowadays. |

Wow, that's terrible. This man doesn't deserve to use Kaufman's name, and I agree with you, his family should sue. There have been a lot of assclowns like this guy appearing in the 'net news this year. |

I may suck being from the UK, but who's Andy Kaufman? That the guy Jim Carrey played in the Man from the Moon? _________________

Exactly. It's probably just a joke. But some people see it as something else.
Would you react the same way if someone said they were Jesus in the same fashion? |

"There is a guy pretending to be Elvis Presley returning from the dead. This guy is such a scumbag, how can he have such a lack of respect for the dead? This is just pathetic. I hope Elvis' family sues this guy for all he's worth, what a douche bag."
See how much you're overreacting? It's not very kind, no, but it's not exactly sickening.
Plus, Kaufman wasn't very funny. Tony Clifton, however, was comical genius. |

Kaufman was not trying to be funny. He just wants to play with the heads. He pushed the boundaries of good taste and audience tolerance by blurring the lines between being a person and an artist. |

He pushed boundaries to make himself laugh, sure, but I know his SNL appearances weren't just for his own amusement. If Kaufman came back from the dead, he would try to get some people to laugh. Namely, the people who didn't weep when they heard of his death. |

Andy Kaufman was a comedian/composer in the 1970's - You can see him on Taxi reruns and some of the very early Saturday Night Live episodes. He was primarily a psychological comedian - his whole purpose was basically, to mind#%# the audience. He died of Lung Cancer in 1984 at 35 but a lot of people believed he would come back; he supposedly told his friends to expect him back 20 years after he died (which would be this year). However, most people agree that it was just a joke and he is very much dead and this is most definately a hoax.
I can't believe how much press this topic is getting when it seems to be so obviously a hoax. Even Snopes weighed in on this topic. _________________

Kaufman would have announced he was back the moment he supposedly died, too. This guy did it the next day. |

I know some people may take this guy's blog offensively, but I really don't think they intend to come off as serious. I really wish I could find the link, because the Darth Vader blog I found was hilarious. |

I agree. Anybody who would pose as someone back from the dead should be beat handily by the family of the person he's pretending to be. People like that have no respect for the dead and are of the lowest form of humanity there is. _________________
