Sanjaya Hoax Revealed

Posted May 25th 2007 11:25AM by TMZ Staff

Will Ferrell and company have struck again!

The hysterical video of Sanjaya claiming to be an art student who created "Sanjaya," which showed up in the TMZ mailbox earlier this week, is actually the work of Ferrell's website, FunnyOrDie.com. It really is Sanjaya in the video, and Sanjaya is really Sanjaya -- and not Bill Vendall from the Rhode Island School of Design.

It's good to see Sanjy's sense of humor extends beyond his hair.

5. It is about time Sanjaya just gives it a rest. It is a shame people made him think he actually had talent. What a rude awakening for him.

8. I think that this kid is trying a little too hard to stay in the lime light. He does have a better voice than I ever will but he didn't win AI so he should just move on. Can I say also that this guy is the most gay person I have ever seen, and I have seen pretty gay people from where I live.

9. Considering he went through puberty while on the show, there is no way he's 25. I didn't believe this one.

11. Jessica, are you a self-hating closet gay? Because you seem to have "issues". Maybe you should seek therapy and get a life too. TMZ is a famewhore site. If it bugs you so much, stop reading it. Simple as that.

It's sad that so many idiots actually believed there was a "Bill Vendall". It only reflects the sorry state of our education system.The gross stupidity out there is astonishing.

Will Ferrell is the man!

12. I love all the retards who stop by and shout "Gay!" and "Curry head!" and then run off like little cockroaches. Freaking pathetic... and hilarious. You're the joke. And it's funny as hell.
