Jackie Chan is dead… NOT
There was a rumor being passed around that Jackie Chan passed away and it seems a journalist at Al Watan newspaper thought it was true and published it as actual news. [Link]

My friend told me about it, I insisted it was a lie =/ Even went to Al Watan’s site to tell them they’ve published an untrue rumor, but I couldn’t find their ‘contact us’ e-mail.

11. Margoga | June 30th, 2008 at 5:02 pm
this is typical AL-WA6AN NEWS paper and TV chanell.
12. q8expat | June 30th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
Just think if they started publishing all the fwd mails that this “guy” gets….. seriously…. need to question the existence of the whole newspaper itself…
13. fadibou | June 30th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
well he could die any time soon,
depends how soon he can die to make Al Watan look good.
14. iRise | June 30th, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Yes… I saw this yesterday. I can’t believe this happened. How embarrassing of Al Watan newspaper.

Typical arab mentality. Recieve something on email, then its true by default!!! i must start a blog of how many emails i have proven wrong by just using the thing residing in my skull for a sec…
Who made that guy a reporter anyways?! I have searched up and down the net for the death of jackie chan news and found it only on Al-Watan … i looked all over for their email to let them know how wrong they are but couldnt find it!!!!
La o the tale goes on about how he devided his money etc etc. … ya ilahee 3la il chtheeb!

Did world news wire cover AlWatan news?
19. Meshoooo | June 30th, 2008 at 9:50 pm
EXTRA EXTRA read all about it (ALwatan) I knew it was a flop since no international news agency aired the news
maybe thier next big news is a UFO crash landed in Wafra
20. momo | June 30th, 2008 at 11:15 pm
I nearly shit my pants, actually believed it
cause when i heard that heath ledger died i thought it was a joke, then it was real, so this want that far off either
Daddy’s girl: LOL yeah that wealth distribution thing was just plain wrong ;P added realism to it
21. Marzouq | June 30th, 2008 at 11:33 pm
Hell No! Jackie Chan can’t die!! He kicks ass! And there is still Rush Hour 4 to make!!!!!!!!!!! Chris Tucker won’t let him die!!!!

I remember when the brazilian football team came to kuwait, next day Al-Watan Newspaper published an half page story about how Ricardo Kaka (football player) became a Muslim in Kuwait, I didn’t beileve it even alot of friends insisted. The guy three months later in the Champions league final, goes around celebrating with a “I Belong to Jesus” shirt….

a simple visit to his official web site http://www.jackiechan.com for that amateur journalist would could confirm his brilliant breaking news!
24. shain | July 1st, 2008 at 9:10 am
typical of al-watan .. typical..
25. Daddy's Girl | July 1st, 2008 at 9:38 am
They say neil armstorng maskeen i3tetha min kither ma il muslimeen yedegoon 3leeh o yebarkoon lah inah sar muslim because he heard the prayers call on the moon! which is totally impossible since you need air to transmit the sound waves o the man heard nothing and did not become a muslim but our arabian newspapers still insist on this incredible story. kil yom o il thanee a muslim or an arab news agency dageen 3leeh il bab o goooool 3n your islam. Madry y3ni if he joined islam why would that be oh-so-important y3ni … same thing goes for michael jackson when he moved to bahrain and numerous others just because someone sittig behind a computer decides to send an email knowing all of us will forward it like sheep!

al-watan is full of shit
27. M | July 1st, 2008 at 11:28 am
Even though Al Watan is the most circulated newspaper its full of lies and I wonder why people keep buying it. There is nothing worse than publishing the EURO 2008 Schedule all wrong 10 days ago in the sports section.
28. Doja | July 1st, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Simply
never believe or tell before verifying the source of the newz…
but i think that the one who wrote this article is just beginner and trying
to show off his un exist talent…LoOoOoOL
I fed up from those people who do nothing but spreading rumors and lies
I just tell them… have a life… ok
29. NaMmOoR | July 2nd, 2008 at 1:07 pm
when my friend told me that he died and i didn’t believe him for many reasons until i opened Al-Watan news paper online the last page and it was there “THE SHOCK” that this DUM ASS PERSON toke it from the INTERNET and someone actually there believed him and they got paid for this kinda of shit, how the HELL i will ever believe whats written there anymore, i just want to SUE THEM FOR CHEATING PEOPLE FOR FAKE NEWS AND WE ARE PAYING FOR IT.
PLEASE LET SOMEONE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT
30. Mohd | July 2nd, 2008 at 3:17 pm

31. Jazzy Moe | July 6th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
That reporter is a complete mindless nitwit. He didnt even bother confirming the news! great people working for Al-watan i guess =0
32. Sam | July 13th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
Just now i sent an email to the newspaper scolding them about thier stupid news without confirming it !!!
just now i called one of my friends in USA and he said that he didn’t hear about that there, this is the 1st time he hear about that.
So stupid newspaper, F**K it ..
33. Sheila | July 14th, 2008 at 3:59 am

Daddy’s gril,
Michael Jackson DID become a muslim around 4 days ago. This time its true. He was converted by Dawud wharnsby, a canadian Nash33dist and an other man. His new name now is Mikaeel.
