NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)A largely forgotten man sought attention on Wednesday night before returning to obscurity on Thursday, according to reports.
The man, whom many Americans had difficulty placing, was making a desperate bid to remind people of his existence, experts believe. His efforts were somewhat successful, as his widely reported outburst caused people across the country to rack their brains to try to remember who he was.
After briefly attempting to recall where they had seen the man before, many people gave up and moved on with their days, but for others, the desperate mans remarks left a bitter aftertaste.
There is no excuse for making comments like those, no matter who you are, Tracy Klugian, forty-seven, of Springfield, Missouri, said. Who is he again?
Still others showed concern for the man, and expressed hope that, instead of future bids for attention, he would find fulfillment in crafting or some other harmless hobby.

(23,238 posts)It's just wrong to let him go on about with his foot in his mouth like that. He must be suffering from some kind of post-traumatic stress problem.
