I recently read a comment on a Beatles Youtube video about how the man in the video wasn't really Paul. I thought that was settled back in 1969! I had no idea people still believe this crap in 2012. Maybe the rumor was started because of the Beatles perceived threat from the Rolling Stones (I never read anything about it, I'm just here to add a comment). It's totally brilliant though and keeps people buying their music even today, although they could sell it without this stupid rumor because their music is great. I would say the Beatles are my favorite band with the Stones a close second.
