This conspiracy doesn't go deep enough to satisfy me. Look up "Donald Marshal cloning" for a huge fucking rabbit hole of "celebrity clones"
- Then try to explain why I have not heard 'sk8ter boi' on the radio for at least 10 years?
  
  Cuz he said See Ya L8ter Boi
  
  For what it's worth they still air it here from time to time, in the self-claimed "only rock station of Colombia"
Unrelated but have y'all heard the one about Stevie Wonder only pretending to be blind?
- Or Kamala pretending to be ... Black?
  
  It's not even conspiracy any more just racism and hatred. I miss the days with real conspiracy theories like the cops has a beeper that turns the signal green or there is a hidden maze under some important building etc.
  
  conspiracy theories like the cops has a beeper that turns the signal green
  
  Weird example, because that's real?
  
  Reality is so disappointing. Cops having control of traffic lights was so much more optimistic than them just abusing their sirens to get through them.
- I saw a YT video breaking down some clip of Stevie dodging out of the way of a mic being knocked over and almost hit him. Claiming Stevie saw it and that's why he moved so fast.
  
  I'm like the dude was walking past Stevie. He probably noticed that and heard the knock. He uses his other sense. What is wrong with critical thinking and people?
- "I buried Paul."
The reason this makes no sense is that musical artists are worth more dead than alive
Reads like a weak remake of the Paul is dead conspiracy.
- Sounds like a perfect fit for early 2000s culture.
Wikipedia edit log: Page created 9 March 2021. People just making shit up.
- Its sources check out, though.
  
  The origins of the theory can be traced back to the 2011 Brazilian blog Avril Está Morta ("Avril Is Dead")
  
  Uh uh... quite the source.
- If the theory is wrong, WHY WON’T SHE SUBMIT TO A DNA TEST? WHAT IS SHE HIDING?
  
  WE’RE ON TO YOU MELISSA!
Andrew W.K.
- You mean Steev Mike. I swear this conspiracy was about 20 years ago now; there was a suitably crazy website devoted to it.
I don't know about this one, but there are many Hollywood celebrities dying under strange circumstance. It's a very interesting rabbit hole.
