Sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela’s memorial “was a fake who made up his own hand gestures”. “Mr Jordaan claimed the man, who signed for a portion of the ceremony including Barack Obama’s speech, was simply making up his own signs.” Sounds like a match made in Potemkin heaven.

I had to check multiple times to be sure that was actually the Fox site, not a satire page. Of course, there will be people who believe that story excuses the debacle, and we shouldn't make fun of the handicapped.
Personally, I don't make fun of the truly handicapped. I also don't hire them to do jobs they are incapable of.
Everybody knows Obama's name in sign language is roll your eyes and act like your jerking off
When Teleprompters go bad............

Where are those guys with the butterfly net when you need them?
I couldn't fake it, I only know one hand gesture, but I am a master at using it....
The knew quagmire was coming and figured what was one more fake going to hurt.
That is just sad. It just seems that this entire thing was just a joke...
I have a sign for some the aristocracy there like Obama, Castro, Mugabe and other dictators and wannabees. It involves using the middle finger extended.
LOL! I was wondering if it took them until he did that to realize he was a fake!
Seriously how hard is it to sign me, I, and myself?
