That is kind of...an odd prank. I've seen pictures of this guy, and he is kind of weird, but the internet can be much more odd. It is in poor taste to involve him in what is happening in Syria right now, and not worth any more time or speculation of why and for what reason.

Is he the sort of person who would go to Syria to do autograph sessions? |

Who'd believe he'd go to Syria for a signing, given the circumstances. Japan also has the passport ban to Syria.

Even when you're actually dead, you're not "officially" dead until a death certificate has been issued and your estate is in limbo until it is.
