I Buried Osama - Again


OK, I think I've got to the bottom of who is really lurking behind the false whiskers of 'Faux-sama' - Norman Wisdom. When you think about, it is obvious. He hasn't made any films lately, he's about the right age, he's popular in Muslim countries like Iran and Albania and he's a trained stuntman. Let's not forget that there's a history of comic actors being used as doubles - Don Knotts, as every 'Paul is Dead' conspiracist knows -successfully impersonated Beatles' manager Brian Epstein for several years. Of course, unlike Knotts, Wisdom didn't require any plastic surgery for his impersonation - that beard can hide a multitude of sins.


The clues to 'Faux-sama's' identity were all there, obviously. The most obvious was when, in his latest video rant, he performs several prat falls before shouting "Mr Grimsdale!" and collapsing into fits of hysterical laughter. The second big clue came when he burst into several bars of 'Don't Laugh at me Because I'm a Fool' during his most recent broadcast. So there you have it, the mystery of 'Faux-sama' solved. If only the enigma of 'Faul' McCartney was so easy to solve...
