I am waiting on the gag! Are they going to call him Jim Henson?

[darth vader]

and it's not even April! (btw you want people to admit to reading the Mail? :-)

[sft42]

......The reports have not been verified.

Does this mean the gutter press have now stooped to the level of the Weekly World News and think they can print any garbage with this caveat at the end and hope to get away with it....do they think this consititues journalism?.....Did anyone actually read it what with it being in the mail after all?

[kags]

does the fact that it say "the reports were spawned by an Iranian newspaper" mean that the whole thing is a) a joke or b) being treated as a joke. I'm not keen on either. I am just counting down the minutes until my Mum rings me to relay the story with great authority as it was in "the Mail".

[bernardo]

Er... yes I have read it... and I heard people talking about it on the radio the other day as well. So what? What is your question?

[tartanwiz]

If it's kissed, maybe it'll turn into a prince?

[coemgen]

I do apologise Bernardo, I didn't realise you were moderating what is deemed suitable for posting. I just thought people might find the link funny and I don't think I am the only person to post something that isn't strictly a question. I find your attitude rude and condescending.

[bernardo]

Coemgen - I find your attitude rude and condescending if you think that I ewas being rude and condescending, because I was not in fact being rude and condescending, nor was I trying to be rude and condescending, nor was I doing anything which could possibly have been interpreted as rude and condescending by any reasonable person. I was merely asking, politely and calmly and rationally, what your question was... or what point you were trying to make. The story which you referred to is obviously a piece of nonsense invented by a silly tabloid newspaper, so therefore what about it? I am still waiting for you or someone else to explain what is the meaning or significance of your original "question". Until and unless you do, the answer to your question remains the same - yes I have read it, and so what?

[Casey]

bernado, you seem to be a little confused. You stated that you didn't know what coemgen's question was, so I thought I'd help you out as it seems you may need a trip to specsavers... coemgen's question is in bold red letters at the top of the page in case you missed it.. It reads 'Anybody read this?' Then kindly coemgen has pasted a link which you will find is in blue writing of which the information of the stated question is provided. Well coemgen, my answer is yes, True or not it is a pretty disturbing story to say the least!

[AB Editor]

Users, this is a Question and Answer site - not a forum for you to air your opinions on one another, so please refrain from doing so. If you do not like a question, just IGNORE it

[Casey]

bernado, take notice of AB and stop throwing insults at others. A pointless question to you may not be so pointless to someone else. So take AB's advice and keep your opinions to yourself

[bernardo]

I was NOT insulting anyone. I was merely asking POLITELY for clarification of the question. I note that no clarification has been forthcoming, and that the original question has therefore been proved to be pointless. I regret the fact that you have falsely, inaccurately, incorrectly and untruthfully accused me of "throwing insults", and I regret the fact that it is therefore necessary for me to defend myself against your false accusation.

P.S. I notice that my previous calm, logical, rational and polite reply has been removed by the AB Editor - in spite of the fact that I was being polite and reasonable - so I therefore suggest that the AB Editor should also remove the inaccurate accusation which has been made against me by Casey.

[Casey]

bernado, please calm down, this is getting to be pointless. If coemgen, AB and myself noticed some unecessary responses coming from yourself, then it's obviosly the way you are saying things. Sorry if I took what you said the wrong way.

[Casey]

bernado-I would just like to point out that it is easy to misinterpret the way people say things, as we are merely going off what people write and not the tone of the voice. Part of this debate is because of the fact you said 'so what' to coemgen's question, which in writing does seem slightly on the rude side. Sorry if you cannot see that, but trust me I would take a bit of offence if you wrote that in a reply to one of my questions.
