Andre the Giant, though dead some years now, has attracted a great following. See http://www.andrethegiant.com/. The guerilla poster campaign may interest some of you. Artists around the country produce and plaster these posters all around cities in the United States, with pictures of Andre and simple slogans like OBEY, or his weight and height (7'4"" (almost 2.5 meters), 520 pounds (1140 Kg)), or "Hello, My Name Is... ANDRE THE GIANT". Another poster includes a picture of a Chinese Communist military officer and the word OBEY. You may have seen Andre while wrestling with the World Wrestling Federation on Saturday morning television, or in his memorable and endearing role in the movie The Princess Bride. -hedges-
