Ok. The dude faked his own decapitation. Big deal. We live in the society of the spectacle. But why, when the AP reporters came by to interview him about it, did he decide to be photographed in his underwear?

Not sure, but the story was they woke him up early with the news of the international media hoo-ha. And it's been pretty warm here the last few days, even in SF.
Beyond that, the guy seems bent on getting attention everyway possible. Good taste and modesty do not seem to be considerations.

Yeah, but why is this guy in his boxers when the film crew shows up? I saw him on TV as well - still in his boxers!

Jeff, you forgot to mention he's in San Francisco and that he perpetrated the hoax in May.
The story isn't hairy shoulders--it's that the FBI didn't find this deal until some militant Arab site linked to it. In the 1950s, we watched test patterns when we were bored. Now we fake beheadings when we're bored.
