Fake Morrissey interview in "Diari de Tarragona" (Tarragona, Spain)
posted by davidt on Sunday February 04 2001, @11:00AM

 I have confirmed that the interview "MORRISSEY (THE SMITHS), AL OTRO LADO DEL TELÉFONO Y EN CARNE VIVA" by J.F. Losilla Eixarch which appeared in the Feb. 2 edition of the paper "Diari de Tarragona" is 100% fake. Remember the fake interview which appeared in a South American paper back in July? These seem to be large papers -- How does this happen? German Hurtado sent in the original link. Thanks to Manuel Rios for doing a quick translation which helped in confirming that it was fake. The translation of the title is "SORRY FOR THE SADNESS - MORRISSEY (THE SMITHS) ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PHONE LINE AND IN RAW FLESH"

    Yes, how does this happen? I don't really know, but since this is supposed to be a major newspaper, what if these things happen more often than we think?

      they interviewed (over the phone?) the guy who sung "Melanie," and were also under the impression that that was also Morrissey.

      Seems like this guy's been doing more than just impersonating Morrissey in song.

        do you mean that both of these interviews WERE actually printed in these papers, or people had sent them in pretending they saw them in local papers?

        Oh God. What if these are journalists who AREN'T being duped into thinking they were speaking to Moz, but were actually inventing answers to questions thinking that he's so far away and won't ever see those papers that they thought they could get away with it?

          The poor souls must be so desperate for some page space that they have to manufacture interviews!!! I just can't believe that they actually believe that people will fall for it! All that these people are doing is wasting time, sending people like ourselves on wild goose chases."If you must write prose and poems the words you use should be your own, don't plagiarise (or in their case fabricate) or take on loan."
