Talk:Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead

message: I wonder about the neutral policies in this encyclopedia. Franco was not a fascist, as it is proven by his Fuero de los españoles and fuero del trabajo. On the other hand, nobody was ever more fascist than Lenin and Stalin, who made a State who eliminated all the individual liberties of man. If we confront this with the definition of fascism by Benito Mussolini, we should discard this article at all.
: Franco, by common use of the word, was a fascist. In the article on Facism or the article on Franco, it might be productive to discuss what fascism is and whether or not Franco was a fascist by those definitions. But this is an article about a North American event, to which is truely irrelevant whether Franco ever existed, much less his real politics. --Prosfilaes 22:47, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

message: It's no longer apparent whose death The Today Show announced. 165.236.149.194 added the paragraph at the end of the article, with the summary "adding probable cause of SNL line", so I'm guessing it refers to The Today Show's announcement of Franco's death. – Minh Nguyễn (talk, contribs) 05:45, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

message: When I was in Spain I found out that there was a popular Spanish novel in which the protagonist brings Franco back from the dead. I don't know if this novel was a response to "GFFISD", or if it was part of the original joke. Anybody? ChristinaDunigan 15:42, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: The title of the novel is "Y al tercer año resucitó", by Fernando Vizcaíno Casas. The novel was a bestseller in Spain in the late 1970´s. The author -strangely enough- was totally loyal to Franco (a "Nostálgico del antiguo regimen"). The novel is a merciless satire of the new "Democratic" Spanish politics of the time. I think that it was totally unrelated with the SNL joke this page is about.Randroide (talk) 23:29, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

message: According to Doug Limerick of ABC News Radio:  Chevy Chase was satirizing him (Limerick).  A couple weeks before Franco's actual death, Limerick was handed a news item saying Franco was dead, and Limerick delivered it.  The mistake was caught, and for the rest of the day, ABC news was leading the news with "Francisco Franco is still alive".
And I am almost positive that there was a second false report of Franco's death

message: I don't see why the statement that the deaths of numerous world leaders was preceded by large amounts of media coverage. Anyone with access to Google can verify as much of the coverage is still available online. The list needs to be updated to include Nelson Mandala. US media ran a "Mandala is still alive" story just this morning. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 01:52, 19 November 2013 (UTC)
