For those of you who followed the Bill Vendall stunt last week, you probably already know it was a marketing hoax orchestrated by Will Ferrell’s buddies at FunnyOrDie.com. American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar, brother of Shyamali Malakar, played the spaced-out Bill Vendall character as a hoax. So no, there is no such thing as the Sanjaya Art Project, as stated in the video on the left.

Find the original video that started it all here. Is FunnyOrDie.com worth a few minutes of your time today? Perhaps. There’s a few videos of Will Ferrell himself and I would advise that you remain skeptic about what you find there, I’d bet there’s a good number of other hoaxes around. Enjoy!
