Merhan Karimi Nasseri

Airport refugee to be Spielberg star : Unlike most urban legends, the one about the Iranian exile stuck at the Paris airport for 15 years is true. Surrounded by a mountain of his possessions near the Paris Bye Bye lounge at Terminal 1 in Charles de Gaulle International Airport, Merhan Karimi Nasseri is still there after all these years a celebrity homeless person.

Un-fucking-believable… but horribly true.

Update : I had to unlink the story from HindustanTimes.com because the story disappeared almost as soon as I had linked to it. The updated link above will lead you to a search on google for all of the stories related to this man and his ordeal.
