I just can't figure out why they'd bother - unless you'd want to use it for satire. @fulla_ on the other hand definitely is the Fulla Doll! Even websites aren't sacred, remember this stunt, after a real-looking website was created: http://www.theyesmen.org/hijinks/dow Someone who clearly wants us to believe it is him.

Loads of those on Twitter, and some public figures have more than one passing as them. In the case of politicians, I would only take statements on their own websites as legit.

It's looking more and more like a stunt. But seriously is that the best he can do?!! Also the recent statement about Hizbollah, which contradicts what he was saying to me.

The thing that makes me think it <i>could</i> be him is this - he admitted he was new to Twitter - and so maybe he didn't realise we could all see who he was following. When I pointed it out to him, he didn't reply. If it was someone trying to embarrass him surely he would've made a big deal about it. Also, his tweets have been very diplomatic - not like other satirical twitter accounts, which try their best to humiliate the politician they are impersonating. I am also sceptical.

I'm still sceptical that any public figure, Lebanese or otherwise who wanted to maintain his <i>bona fides</i> would follow someone who calls himself Gay_Porn_Stud on what is essentially a worldwide personal advert i.e. Twitter.

And you are absolutely right about the comment about homophobia. My point was simply that he was looking at gay porn - I would've pointed it out just the same if he had been looking at hetrosexual porn! Nick, Amin Gemayel is Lebanese! Pazuzu, thank you very much for your comment. And you are absolutely right about the comment about homophobia.

Nick, Amin Gemayel is Lebanese!

Please do avoid attacking anyone with the gay accusation, that is a dangerous accusation that aggravates a very sad fact of hate-crimes and homophobia.

but one correction:
Nadim is Bachir’s son, the interview the twitterer is refering to is about nadim, not sami (sami being amine gemayel’s son who is still alive )

Ahem. I don’t have any problem at all believing that a prominent Lebanese public figure would follow Gay_Porn_Stud on Twitter.

Ahem.
