'Fake' sign language interpreter at Nelson Mandela memorial provokes anger

Deaf people watching the Nelson Mandela memorial were bemused and shocked by a "fake" sign language interpreter on stage whose gestures were unintelligible, activists said Wednesday.

The interpreter was watched by millions as he stood beside speakers at the event including President Barack Obama.

Hundreds of people took to social media to express their anger at the interpreter's gestures, and several deaf groups confirmed his signing did not reflect the comments being made to honor the anti-apartheid icon.

So from this funeral, what we have come away with to whine about is :

1 - A handshake
2 - A selfie
3 - a fake sign language guy

Ok, so it turns out that this fake schizophrenic signer, who is hallucinating and has a violent history got himself hired to stand next to President Obama and wave his hands around like an Italian on meth, due to his rejected application to Yellow Cab.

Someone should Photoshop him into the background of Obama's selfie.

This is what Obama calls "governing."

All that was missing was a JZ performance.

Top Ten Excuses Bad Signers Give:

10. There is no such word as "trickeration."

9. I had a tick in my right arm.

8. After I punched myself in the face, I was disoriented.

7. Worn out after the "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers" line.

6. Slept right through the adjective class.

5.Supercalifagilisticexp ealadocious is a handful!

4. Got confused by the line, "there's the windup and the pitch..."

3. Sometimes mis-signing just tickles me!

2. You try being schizophrenic and signing sometime!

And, the #1 excuse bad signers give:

They paid me for 500 words, and 500 words they got.
