Like I mentioned in the previous post, there are many videos on YouTube providing their 'evidence' of Paul's replacement with Faul. A lot of them closely analyse photographs from different years, picking out tiny differences between chin shape, nose shape or even a tooth. Some videos try to brainwash viewers into believing Paul was replaced while others try to steer viewers away from the myth. Digging through YouTube, some pathetic and laughable fabrications were found. It is obvious in some that the creators were scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for evidence. Here are some favourites that were dug up:
This one is all about Paul's teeth... or should we say, the many different Pauls' teeth. The video scrutinises footage over the decade, pointing out how the 'real' Paul has misaligned upper-left molars whilst Faul has nicely aligned ones. It then goes further to suggest that many different Pauls were used right from 1963. The legend suggests that he was replaced in 1966, but this video shows some Pauls in '63 with straight teeth and some with crooked teeth. So what does this mean? That Paul was simply not Paul right from the beginning? Unlikely.
What a lovely, sense-filled analogy. This video actually crushes theories (watch the video for more 'clues' not mentioned our other post) by providing explanations for what they really are. At the end they even ask a contemplative question: "What on earth would the other Beatles have gained from such an elaborative 'cover-up'?" They would've survived fine without Paul if he really did die, so what need would there be for a replacement to cover up his death?
Now, this rubbish still believes in a Faul, but this time 'Billy Shears' is someone who's has plastic surgery to become the new Paul. But guess who they claim "Phil Ackrill" (they are inconsistent by saying he is Billy Shears one minute and next minute says he is Phil Ackrill) is...? Neil Aspinall! The Beatles' road manager/personal assistant turned head of Apple Corps. So that basically means that not only was Paul replaced, but so was Neil. More drivel!
There are many others, but here is a clip of Paul himself discussing the rumour on the David Letterman show.
A mockumentary named Paul McCartney Really is Dead: The Last Testament of George Harrison was released as a result of a package arriving at the offices of Highway 61 Entertainment containing two cassette tapes dated December 30, 1999. They were labelled The Last Testament of George Harrison. A voice similar to George's tells the 'story' of how Paul died in 1966 and was replaced by a double and MI5 forced The Beatles to cover it up to avoid mass suicides of Beatles fans. The voice even claims that John Lennon was killed because he threatened to reveal the secret.
So, the ever-continuing urban legend still circulates. The internet is filled with even more barbaric clues and videos featuring both similar and different content than the ones above. The big question is:
Is Paul really dead?
