Any other summer publicity stunts spotted by dopers? Can they beat this one?
Who in the hell is Sir Cliff Richards?
I’m not sure who is scarier:
A) Blackburn, who looks to be about 60 but is wearing a “JOCK TIL YOU DROP” jersey and just generally looks to be trying WAY too hard, or
B) Sir Cliff Richard and his Amazing Technicolor Sportcoat, with Matching (?) Gold Tie.
But you’ve heard of him now! Behold the power of the Publicity Stunt!
Don’t worry, no-one has heard of Cliff outside of the UK. But he has been around forever and was very successful in his time. Had hits over 5 decades, blah, blah, etc etc…
And you won’t have heard of Tony Blackburn either.
Why, Keith Richards evil twin of course! 
Richard (not Richards)…Who is[Sir Cliff Richard](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cliff_RichardSir Cliff Richard)!. :eek: Only one of the greatest, most popular, pop stars to come out of the UK ever!
Correct me if I am wrong, but I think he has more #1, and Top 10, UK songs than any other artist.
Who is Sir Cliff Richard?..Sheeesh!
Err a, my Wikipedia Bio link came out wrong. :smack:
