The King is dead, long live The King... (http://reuters.myway.com/article/20060817/2006-08-17T164932Z_01_L17786195_RTRIDST_0_ODD-LIFE-ELVIS1-DC.html)

LONDON (Reuters) - Have you seen the king? As the 29th anniversary of his death passes, a $3 million reward is being offered for anyone who finds Elvis Presley alive.

U.S. writer, actor and filmmaker Adam Muskiewicz says he and a producer friend set up the website www.elviswanted.com mostly for publicity and to get the public involved in an independent documentary exploring the myth that Elvis is still alive.

"The hoaxing of Elvis Presley's death is the biggest myth in the history of pop culture. Does it have any merit? What are the facts behind it?" the site asks. The film and site aim to explore persistently popular rumors that Elvis did not die on August 16 1977, but may have gone into hiding.

...

Well he retired a few years ago from that job flipping burgers at a Stuckey's in Valdosta. Then he moved to Ocala.

He might really be dead by now. Who knows? :p

I give it a better chance than ESP being scientifically validated.

...Some psychic oughtta take Randi's challenge and use their psychic powers to find Elvis. Get $4 million all in one blow!

The site only says "Elvis Presley". I couldn't find anything that said which one. If someone changed their name to Elvis Presley would they win $3 million?

That's an outrage. After all that Elvis has given the world, the least they could do was leave him be, if he decided to go in hiding. OTOH, if he lives, I assume the FBI will be interested; after all, they will have a few fraud charges to level on him, and perhaps a murder charge (after all there WAS a body).

.... Seriously, this is one answer to "what harm do conspiracy theories do?": Three millions could certainly be used for better things than debunking silly CTs.

Interesting point. We'll find out. On the "contact us" form, I just submitted the following:


I notice that your reward seems to be solely for proving that "Elvis Presley" is alive.

I would like to enquire if I would be eligible for the award if I:

1) Change my name to Elvis Presley?

or

2) Locate a person somewhere in the world who legitimately holds the name Elvis Presley?

Best regards, Hans.

Sweeeet. I'm rich! Seriously. When I was passing through Vegas this spring for better destinations, I saw Elvis several times. I'll just fly back out, round him up, and collect my prize.

they're one step ahead of you :D

For the payout to be made, Elvis Presley must be the world famous performer and not another person of the same name. William Hill’s offer expires on June 1, 2008.http://www.elviswanted.com/terms.html

Come on guys,

If you had kept current on your Sookie Stackhouse novels you would already know that Elvis was turned into a vampire buy a sympathetic morgue attendant. The transformation didn't go very well because of the drugs in his system and he doesn't remember his former life. He now only answers to "Bubba" and drinks blood from cats.

Try to stay with the rest of the class from now on. ;)
