I like the Fark headline: Man poses as Saudi Prince, runs up Royal Shopping tab, Saudi authorities wanting to bring him to Saudi Arabia so they can behead him

Wants to pretend he's a Saudi? Fine. Let's ship him out to Saudi.

Make sure he gets off the plane with a suitcase full of Bibles and a John 3:16 T-shirt.

beep!

He should really buy himself an A-Cup if you ask me......

This is about as sad as when that white kid darkened his skin and robbed a bank. Remember that?

A probation report more than a decade ago said Gignac was so convincing, "it is doubtful he will give it up for a mundane existence."

I'm visualizing an alternate universe where Anthony Enrique Gignac was the President of the United States for eight years and William Jefferson Clinton is in jail for impersonating a Saudi prince and running up bogus charges.

[Thinkin' Gal]

Underneath his Saudi disguise, it appears that he is nothing more than a lowly Paula Poundstone impersonator. Sad!

[Light Speed]

His going to jail will definitely be a "Mounting concern" to him!

Missed you -- glad to see you back and pinging!

[Optimist]

Here's an idea.....
how about if I travel the US pretending to be an Arab.
I'll bet THAT will get me the respect I deserve.
LOL

That's sad - a man with an A-cup an a "Moe" haircut...

"Gignac once again acquired an American Express card under his assumed royal name. A spokeswoman for the credit-card company said the account had a $200 million credit line.

I'm sure that goes up after the initial trial period, right?

I'll take the dream if you take Billary out of the Senate as well....

"I dreamed I stole a pair of Lamborghinis, in my Maidenform bra."

You are dating yourself with that old advertising line. They made sexy commercials for their day.

Intimate apparel maker Maidenform is getting back in shape. The company, born when founders Ida and William Rosenthal invented the bra in the 1920s, makes bras, panties, and other women's dainties and leisure wear sold nationwide, primarily by discount chains and department stores. Although many women grew up with the "I dreamed" Maidenform ads ("I dreamed I stopped traffic in my Maidenform bra"), the company has seen its fortunes sag in recent years. It emerged from a 1997 bankruptcy filing with backing from GE Capital in 1999. In that time, Maidenform's Customize It four-way convertible bra was the biggest product launch in the company's history. Oaktree Capital Management owns a controlling stake in Maidenform.
