Trevor Richards

This week's 5 Minutes of Fame is longer than five minutes, but that's because some stories are too good to be contained. This is the story of Trevor Richards, an African, who lit America's racial radar on fire.

Tracey, clearly this bombshell is from South Africa. The United States does not make Jaws that strong, and hair that feathered. I think you have your rumors mixed up with someone else.. get your facts right girl....

A very articulate young man.
You'll go far in life Trevor. Good luck.

On a side note, DN crew: please learn to capture audio that doesn't require me to crank my speakers!

Shame on Tracey. Your mother obviously didn't teach you - if you don't have anything nice to say, say nothing at all. Please go practice.

In response to Tracey's comment: HOW DARE YOU! I wish he had an accent, that would only boost his overall appeal tenfold. Someone like Trevor could only come from a foreign land. They don't make em like Trevor in America anymore! I want him to rugby me!

I heard a rumor that this guy isn't even actually from South Africa. Apparently he was at a house party one night and decided to use a fake accent, which got the attention of some girls, but then he had to keep the accent otherwise they would find out he was lying! I hear he made up a whole story to back up his accent so that he could keep hanging out the one of the girls who he met at that party--what a phony!! So it turns out he shouldn't have won that "African-American of the Year Award" afterall.

But then again, it was just a rumor so maybe he really is from that desolate and awful country after all.

Trevor is clearly the coolest--and obviously the hottest--guy on campus! I loved his stories and I hope I can meet him sometime to hear some more!
