In a telephone interview, Soli said the character helped him deal with the pressures of his own life, including a rare disease that is killing him

In 2001, he was diagnosed with a rare heart disease that he says will likely kill him before he is 50.

Why should we believe this guy is really sick? He's already hoaxed people once.

At one point, she revealed she was raped, causing her to re-examine her sexual identity and become a lesbian.

Same thing happened to me.

If someone comes along and tells me FARK isn't real I'll be depressed.
