Heh, fake or not, that was funny. :) I like the line where he calls Kirby homosexual, haha.

And even if he didn't say these things, you gotta admit that Yamauchi is nutty and his personality sets up a hoax like this perfectly. o_O I'm convinced that he's gone totally senile, and my theory is that it wasn't so much a "retirement" than him getting lost in the woods on the way to work. :P
