Hoaxer Paul Castronovo

A typical wild and crazy guy-type disc jockey in South Florida is Paul Castronovo, who in 1991 perpetrated a hoax of the aggravating variety.

On his early-morning show, around 6 a.m., he instructed listeners to set their clocks and watches ahead one hour, because, he said, the moon was aligned with Uranus following the vernal equinox. Many did, and got to work to find the doors still locked. Fallout from the little hoax soon blew over, and Castronovo's DJ/show-host career continued its merry way on different stations in Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Again like so many DJs, Castronovo aims for the outrageous, telling listeners that he is trying to adopt a 22-year-old Vietnamese dancer, that he likes playing nude badminton, and that his hobby is dissecting dead horses while eating Hawaiian pizza.

In the video clip below, Celebrity Blogsburg reaches a new low in taste, showing Castronovo having his nose hair waxed. One can only hope that this, too, was merely a gag.
