Mandela sign language interpreter was a fake.

It would be really hard to make this stuff up.

He was the victim.

And yes this guy was three feet from the President of the United States of America.

Interesting how some news sources only show this guy with other leaders of the world, as if it did not also happen to our President.

It gives new meaning to the phrase, "here's your sign!"

I do know American sign language and I did not recognize one single thing he said, IF he was supposed to be signing in ASL. And there was a lot of talking going on and no hand movements at all. He had no facial expressions or emotions, it was just flat out fakery.

It's important to note that sign language is different in most countries around the world. While living in Japan, I watched Japanese interpreting on tv and it was fascinating how it was just as clueless to me as the spoken language.

British sign language is so outdated its not even funny, in my opinion. They are eager to learn ASL because it makes sense. They point to one finger to indicate the vowels on one hand, where American Sign Language, each letter has its own hand sign. I went to a play done in BSL, I could understand some of what was said at least.

Anyway, more than you wanted to know I'm sure. Scary this faker was so close to Mr. O. But not surprising at all. The question is who was he related to in order to get this job??
