Will The Real David Cross Please Stand Up?

Did you hear that story about the David Cross impersonator sleeping with unsuspecting Arrested Development fans all over Manhattan? David Cross did, and he wrote to Gawker explaining how to tell if it's really him.

So at the Jesus Is Magic premiere on Monday, if you're hit on by a skinny bald guy with emo glasses, ask to see his tattoo. (Yes, our Sarah Silverman contest is now closed. Thanks to everyone who entered. We'll pass your kind words along to Thrice.)

Reading that, I sort of wondered if someone spread the story just to get back at him for something, like that club manager from his DVD. "new york is full of balding hipsters with black-framed glasses, so it'll be plausible...take that, newly single David Cross!"

I ran into David Cross in Dallas at a Supersuckers/Riverboat Gamblers show. He swore to God it wasn't him, but I know it was. He even showed me a fake ID that didn't say "David Cross" on it.

It's funny how David Cross went to such great lengths to mask his identity, so an imposter has stepped in to fill the David Cross Vacuum.

P.S. I wasn't even drunk at that show!

P.P.S. OK, I was plastered.

David Cross is an asshole in real life. No joke. He is probably "the imposter." Fuck him.

truth be told, I ran in to him at Max Fish and he was actually really friendly. maybe he's got on and off days like all of us.

Watch "Let America Laugh" and see if you wouldn't be an asshole dealing with some of those fans.

Dave, you fool! You've given your anti-matter twin the blueprint for the tat! He can't be stopped! Then again, doesn't it seem more likely that David Cross has no such tattoo but thought it would be funny if some unsuspecting imposter permanently inked his dermis with said design? I mean, any fool knmows Max Fleisher-esque pigs don't smile. Oh, to be a balding funny man...

Which, of course, begs the question: Who the hell cares?

The only thing more pathetic than sleeping with David Cross would be caring who ELSE had slept with him.

That bastard promised me a spot on AD, Now I don't know if it was the real him (who knew AD was being cancelled) or the fake him (who may not have known).

I feel dirty!!
