Who is Michael Savu?

So, I was browsing the QDB: Top 50 Quotes, and I came across this classic (warning, offensive language!). I wondered then, “Who is Michael Savu? Will his mom ever find the post?”
hehe.

  1. …yea, im pathetic. got here through google, and didnt expect to find anything. maybe his mom locked him in his room with no computer, tv, or other electronics

  2. …same story. If his name really is Michael Savu he’s probably googled for his name, found this blog and /could/ reveal his identity. But unfortunately he doesn’t…

  3. Yup, my thoughts excactly… he would have given us a confirmation or at least a comment by now I think… so chances are it’s all made up. Nice story though… and yes, I also googled after reading on bash 😉

    cheers from norway.

  4. google.
    Sadly no real confirmations on Savu here 🙁 Gotta love the “Free Michael Savu” T-shirt! 😀

    A couple of entries here from differnet people caliming to be Savu (and one from “his mom”). Probably fake, but if you’re out there Savu we want confirmation of your excistence! Google your own name and make a blog of your own dude!

  5. Every six months or so I tries to find any new information has show up regarding the outcome of his bash statement.

  6. Damn it.
    I hate bash.org, cause it made me google this name and now it took me here. And you guys dont know it either.
    Burn in hell Michael Savu!!!

  7. To be honest, how often would someone google their own name? Would we believe them if they turned up?

  8. do the people who run bash.org have any info about who posted te comment? an ip address? the real information archaelogists would have to go through the logs at bash – get the date and ip for the submitter, then use arin to get the netblock of the isp, contact the isp, see if you could get the customer who had that ip on that day, find the customer, figure out who might have posted the comment to bash.org — and maybe , then we would find out who really is Michael Savu.

    Everything online is just a story.

  9. Dear interested parties,
    You will be happy to learn that Michael has mended his ways
    and, although banned from the Internet for life, he shows great promise in turning his life around.
    Because he freed up so much time by avoiding the squandering of his energies on the web, he has applied himself to his studies and was just recently accepted into medical school with an interest in specializing in brain surgery. I can’t believe my little foul mouthed “Mikie” is going to be a fucking brain surgeon!

    Again, thanks for all your interest,

    Mrs. Savu

  10. I was wondering if I was the only one who actualy das stuff like searching people that may actualy not exist….

    anyway… Where is he from?

    Das he know that people are asking for him even in Estern Europe?

  11. came here the same way as the rest of you, seriously.. someone must make something out of this, an article or something, “finding Michael Savu” or,
    “the story of Michael Savu
    – I wasn’t gonna fuck her brains.. alot..”

  12. Another one from google. It’s time to get organized guys. Go check your neightbours, then start calling private eyes. Report here every 30 minutes. I promise, we will find Michael before the 3rd season of Lost is over.

  13. mike savu is my cousin in real life .it seems like this a joke about mike savu all these replys. he plays the squeeze box.he lives in us nyc .. maybe not the mike savu you all are talking about. but there is a real mike savu .long live michael savusavusavusavusavusavusavusavusavusavusavusavusavusavusavusa

  14. hi, googled here from eastern europe 🙂

    michael sure is a world famous celebrity, i just saw there are t-shirts being sold with the caption ‘Free Michael Savu’, and quotes from his post

    archeologists are going to put him into history books a thousand years from now

  15. not in India. I think Google needs to be told to put up a filter. three years people have been coming here looking for him. THREE YEARS! he’s like freaking osama.

  16. Wow, I never expected so many people to look for Michael on google like I did. The dirst replies here date back to 7/2003. That’s more than 3 years ago and Michael Savu still hasn’t searched himself on google?

    I look for my own name on google regularly to see which websites I’m on.

  17. Hello o// greetings from finland. yea, savu is last name in here finland, and means smoke ^^ I have to get that t-shirt 🙂 bash and google, I was thinking I’m only one who is looking mrs. savu… guess not 😛 hope you understand my english.. 😀

  18. greeting from sweden. just another proud member of the Church of Savu…

    i know you’re all little mulders, wanting to believe and all that, but let’s face it: that bash quote is fake. who the hell has a devout christian mother who reads bash.org? it’s off the chart on the bullshit-o-meter.

    that said, i’m surprised nobody has called the usenet number and posted here about what happened. i think somebody should. if there actually is a michael savo, fake bash quote or not, it would probably be amusing for him to hear that there is a weird thread on some random site that will never die devoted to some possibly non-existent person with his name.

    ps. “mail required”? wtf? hugely annoying.

  19. Michael Savu !!! Googled you for kicks … I wondered if you’d be famous by now … looks like you are 🙂

  20. Glad to open the French subsidiary of the Church 3 1/2 years after.

    (Just one question : why on earth would bash change the original name -supposedly to protect the guy- to another existing name -the latter being not protected from sth he didn’t even initiate. Nah. There’s only one Michael Savu. And it turns out to be Michael Savu – sounds like a Fijian name btw)

  21. this is fucking crazy, I feel like i fell into some sort of trap by coming here after searching for him on google… just crazy. Next up, wikipedia.

  22. Well, for one, it looks like this is the official Michael Savu site.

    Two, even if you did find him, there’d be pretty much no way to get confirmation that it was him.

    Anyways,
    Eat a turkey basket a die,
    Fephisto
