Pop Culture Elvis Arisen

OMG, Ya'll. Are you sitting down?
Elvis is alive.
I'll say it again: Elvis. Is. ALIVE.
So sayeth Derek Clontz, an author of words on the Internet. His history-pwning revelation, replete with photos and shocking truth verbs was birthed on the www yesterday here.
What's that? When you go to that link, the website has been taken down by WordPress for violating the terms of service? You better believe it. The fix is in, people. The vast bat-winged conspiracy has its claws in little old Derek, coz they don't want Elvis' #1 fans to know what really happened.
Yeah, but, you know what, WordPress? I've got Google as my co-pilot.
Cached, baby.
Clontz [sic] Quotes:
The stark, black-and-white snapshot taken by a stunned fan on June 26 clearly shows the aging superstar resting in a wheelchair on the grounds of his Graceland mansion in Memphis.And while nobody can say for sure if The King is back at Graceland to stay, Presley insiders hint that the 74-year-old legend, “if he really is alive, might go public at any minute” if he gets some kind of indication that fans still care.
“I’m not saying Elvis is alive — honestly, I’ve always suspected it, but I’ve never known for sure,” said a close friend of the singer and former member of his close-knit “Memphis Mafia.”
“But I’ll tell you one thing — if that picture of him in the wheelchair is authentic, and it sure looks to me like it is, then you can bet your bottom dollar that El set the whole thing up to find out if people still remember him.
“Elvis isn’t stupid. In fact, he’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever known. If he faked his death and kept himself out of the public eye for 32 years, he sure wouldn’t screw up and let somebody take his picture now, especially one that shows him in a weakened condition and unable to use his legs.
“At least, he wouldn’t ‘screw up’ unless he wanted to. I think that’s what might be going down. He‘s a sensitive guy and I guarantee you he wouldn’t come out of hiding if he felt like fans don’t care about him anymore.
“It‘s easy for me to believe he‘s testing the water before he does something drastic like go on Good Morning, America or Larry King and tell everybody he’s alive.”
The photo included here is, I suppose, copyright Derek Clontz. It was taken, he says, by a name-withheld Graceland visitor from Cheraw, South Carolina.
The truth is out there, and now it's in here, in SING ALL KINDS' belly.

That's not Elvis. That's the shooter from the grassy knoll in Dallas.
Elvis is arisen, Herenton's resigned, MJ died, Herrington had a sex change, but nothing -- NOTHING!!! -- can stop the flow of Beyond the Arc chatter about point guards, power forwards, and 2 guards. Amazing.
Oh yeah? If that's Elvis, then who's burnt into this piece of toast I bought on eBay?
really? then can someone please tell me why this is in black and white and so grindy? even with the oldest camera i think you would at least be able to tell it is graceland...clean it up add some color only then is someone out there is bound to believe you...
I agree with you Bruce. It's amazing isn't it.
That's not Elvis. Elvis wears jumpsuits. And he's bald. I know, because I saw the artist's rendering in the National Enquirer many years ago.
I think that's my grandmother.
The "photographer" claims to have sneaked onto the grounds of G'land through an unlocked gate.
Yuh, right! G'land has better security than Fort Knox. I knew someon who tried to "sneak" into G'land once, and when she was caught, offered the guard $1,000 cash AND a bj to let her in. No dice. Boy, was that guard stupid!
It was always so hard to believe Elvis could die so young. Never mind the fact that at age 42 he was a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich eatin' fat guy who popped pills like they were candy. Still he should have had a good 1 or 2 years left.
No need to be rude MikeBo8....thats my boy my by you're talking about!
I really hope he outs himself soon, so he can wipe the smug bastard smiles off all the non believerd faces :)
Oh happy day...

he was not fat! he was swollen from all the pills and stress!!!!! funny how everyone seems to comment on that little time he had gained a bit of weight ..lol.. he was never obese! why do people only remember the time he was sick and forget that he was the sexiest man alive!!!
If, and I say "IF" this is Elvis I dont really think he wants to be remembered this way. I am a believer that Elvis could be alive but, I dont believe he would let us see him this way. Elvis has great pride in himself. Even when he was sick he worried what his fans would think. Anyone who was a true fan wouldnt have gave his looks a secound thought. It never changed him. He loved his fans to the end and still had a heart of GOLD!
