Cybele of the Fast Fiction blog thinks she's sorted out all of this Andy Kaufman rising from the dead confusion. Kaufman's back, sure, and he's even blogging—but not at the poorly-written, fake press release floating Andy Kaufman Returns. No, Kaufman's a lot cleverer than that. He's Rance, everyone's favorite pseudonymous, supposedly A-list actor/blogger.

Our minds are blown. Andy Kaufman is Ben Affleck? This is the greatest stunt of all time! We always knew, deep down, that Gigli and Jersey Girl were just obnoxious pieces of performance-art shit.
