Lip-Flapping About Arm-Flapping

There's been a lot of talk about the sign-language interpreter at the Nelson Mandela memorial.  He was apparently a complete fake (or going though a mental episode, or making up a language known only to him).

No one was hurt, so let's face it, this was hilarious.  A solemn occasion with numerous heads of states in attendance, and there at the podium was a bizarre man waving his arms about meaninglessly.



I'm sure some will see a deeper symbolic meaning here, but really, let's just enjoy the moment.

The best bit, not shown here, is when someone mentions Mandela's death and the guy does a finger across the throat.

I'd like to see the closed captioning.
