Now a story on the guy who played Kenning
http://www.southernillinoisan.com/articles/2005/08/27/top/106488.txt

excerpt:

As an example of how detailed the hoax became, Trovillion produced a script Reynolds had provided for him entitled "Sandbox Prayers" that had details about the life of the character he was playing and also a thick stack of documents about the role his character played in the war in Iraq.

He said Reynolds also took him to a local hair salon, where he was given a military haircut. She also provided him with military clothing that included boots and a shirt with the name "Kennings" on the pocket, he said.

Trovillion said he asked Reynolds numerous times when the footage would available for him to see, but each request was met with a variety of excuses.

snip - and it gets more odd:

He also detailed a trip only three months ago when he traveled with Reynolds and the child playing the part of Kodee to a Detroit church that had befriended many American soldiers in Iraq. Trovillion said Reynolds instructed him to "stay in character" during the entire service.

"This was a huge church and we were seated in the front row and the pastor introduced me as Dan Kennings, so I thought they all knew that this was part of the documentary," Trovillion said. "I mean these people were hugging me and telling me they loved me and I just went along with it; I thought they were just playing the part. I even got in the car and told Jaime (Reynolds) 'those people were good ¦ they were just awesome.' I even got up in front of the congregation and gave a little speech. This church was very supportive of Dan and they knew Kodee."

5. I think we can expect lots more of this with

Karen Hughes becoming the tzar of PR for chimpy and co. This really does seem to be shaping up into an epic battle for the soul of our country and world.

8. This is from a right-wing masturbator site

It's the same guy that was all raving about the female DJ in Oakland who started the anti-Cindy protests, and called her a "deathbabe". Sick twit. He's trying to claim the hoax is from liberals, to discredit the right. Apparently he doesn't understand that to discredit the right, all you have to do is listen to them.

9. guess I didn't go far enough

into the blog - just found the single post amusing. On the irony side of things - sounds like the blogger makes a satire of himself without realizing it.

7. Something is missing here

and also...who just hands their child over to someone that is merely an acquaintance for the weekend...especially if they are taking her to Detroit. something is weird. Could the child's parents be linked to the church in Detroit somehow?
