epic trolling :applause:

OMG, that is so funny and so wrong at the same time.

[East_Stone_Ya]

only in africa

[Patrick Chewing]

Do they even have TV's in Africa yet?

[Jailblazers7]

lol isnt that a security risk? How does a fake interpreter get that close to world leaders and Obama?

I guess he was a nice guy?

The article mentioned the funeral was poorly organized - including security because a lot people gained entrance without being screened. Apparently fake deaf interpreters are common in Africa since a lot of them use a few signs to get hired...basically their pre screening process is sh!t.

Man what if he had pulled out a weapon? That's disgusting

[RoundMoundOfReb]

Terrific trolling :applause:

[MavsSuperFan]

I guess that the guy has been lying for years about his ability to sign.

Although you would think he would decline this event out of respect for mandela knowing that he didnt know how to sign.

How can you lie about your ability to sign? It's obvious that you don't when deaf people see that you don't what you're doing.

Maybe deaf people didnt go to the previous events he translated at? and the people who hired him thought he did a good job

I cant imagine Mandela's memorial would be a first gig for a sign language translator. I imagine you would need recommendations.

Anyone see Obama taking a selfie during the service? Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the American President.

Roberto Schmidt, a photojournalist for Agence France-Presse, caught Obama goofing around with British prime minister David Cameron and Danish prime minister Helle Thorning-Schmidt at the memorial for Nelson Mandela...

Schmidt, though, said that everyone was getting the moment all wrong.

"I later read on social media that Michelle Obama seemed to be rather peeved on seeing the Danish prime minister take the picture," he wrote on the AFP blog.

"But photos can lie. In reality, just a few seconds earlier the first lady was herself joking with those around her, Cameron and Schmidt included. Her stern look was captured by chance."

Schmidt also said that Obama's behavior was in keeping with the general mood at the service:

"All around me in the stadium, South Africans were dancing, singing and laughing to honor their departed leader...the atmosphere was totally relaxed – I didn’t see anything shocking in my viewfinder, president of the US or not."

nice bogus outrage.


Also, the ANC says they have hired this guy in the past as an interpreter. So, he may not be doing SA sign language, but is it any sign language? or totally fake? Why else would the ANC have hired him in the past.

[CavaliersFTW]

Reminds me of:

[boozehound]

I know ASL, which is American Sign Language.

There is different types of sign language around the World.

But that was not one of them. :lol
I agree it looks pretty damn fake. But hes been hired in the past by the ANC. weird.

[9erempiree]

I'm no sign language reader but I suspect something was wrong. I've seen people sign in real life and it's more than what the dude was doing.

How they let allowed him to do it was a damn shame. Also, like someone mentioned, out of respect for Mandela he should have passed and let a real person do it.

Still funny watching him do those signs. He had to keep repeating the same shit.

[9erempiree]

The hiring of this man was a bad sign.They earmarked money for him and he sent some mixed signals. You got to hand it to him, though. They should have a hearing.

He was signing in a Zulu language that's why nobody understood. The dialect and the accent is different.

I wouldn't expect you guys to go to South Africa and start understanding a Zulu language.

I know you're only taking the piss but...you do realize BRITISH prime minister David Cameron was in on it as well?

And honestly, who gives a ****.

Well, Cameron is the biggest c*nt in Europe.

South Africa is a massive joke of a country anyway why would this surprise anyone. This is a place where aids and violent crime are out of control.
