"Alan MacMasters: How the great online toaster hoax was exposed" (article)

For more than a decade, a prankster spun a web of deception about the inventor of the electric toaster. His lies fooled newspapers, teachers and officials. Then a teenager flagged up something that everyone else had missed.

Is this the sultan you were talking about?

(answer: yes) 

He might be the same voice actor.  It's tough to tell... In any case, I feel almost certain there was a character in one of the Mario cartoons that sounds exactly like the Kamek in the movie trailer.

It's going to bug me, too.  Sorry if it also bugs you now, hehe.

I recognize Kamek's voice from Super Mario Bros. Super Show.  I can't quite put my finger on an exact character, though.

(wonders about whether the "Kamek" mentioned in this message was a reference to a certain character in the video on this page (specifically between these points of its length: 5:06 - 5:15) or a reference to a certain character similar to that character in a certain animated "Super Mario World" episode named "Ghosts 'R' Us" ("Wizenheimer"))

(note #1: the "Wizerheimer" and "Sultan Pasbah" mentioned on this page thus far appeared to have had voices similar to each other)

(note #2: certain "Super Mario Bros. Super Show" segments appeared to have had at least one "Beezo" character appear with voices similar to the character in the video mentioned just before the note just before this one)

"Sultan Pasbah"? (of a "Super Mario Bros. Super Show" segment named "Mario's Magic Carpet")

Never banned even though I should have been.

To be honest these forums being empty is what made me want to create an account. I originally wanted to make an art blog in the fan creations sub-form, but I guess I need to post more before I can create a thread lol. Thinking back on it now a month later it seems dumb, but at the time the idea of setting up camp in a secluded corner of the internet and posting Mario fan art there appealed to me. I still kind of want to do it so I might end up hanging around here more. Besides, the length of time between replies gives everything a more laid-back feeling imo.

(likes idea of this "feeling")
