Official James Earl Ray Web Site Launched

BALTIMORE -- July 9, 1997 (INB) --

Comedian/Actor(SAG) "Sensei" Mike Gabriel is proud to present the JAMES EARL RAY web site(c). An authorized non-profit web site that was planned and designed with the assistance of J.E.Ray. This informative web site was originally created to document the terminal illness of James Earl Ray # 65477 as he attempts to secure a Donor Organ for the Liver Transplant Operation that he so desperately needs to survive. The web site can be found at : http://www.catyoga.com

Comedian/Actor(SAG) Mike Gabriel who is the Host of The JAMES EARL RAY web site (c), is also known as "Sensei" Mike Gabriel and best remembered as the Comedian who originated the Cat Yoga/Rosa Lopez Engagement Hoax.

The Cat Yoga/Rosa Lopez Engagement Hoax was an International Media Hoax that was reported in OVER 220 countries worldwide as if it were the gospel truth.

It was set off by a featured appearance on The GERALDO SHOW,(6/9/95) where it was reported by Geraldo Rivera that O.J.Simpson would be the best man at the wedding of 28 year old Cat Yoga(r) "Sensei" Mike Gabriel and 59 year old ROSA LOPEZ, the maid from El Salvador in the trial of the Century.

The Sun Tabloid, The Geraldo Show, The Larry King Show, Jay Leno & The Tonight Show, Inside Edition, Vanity Fair magazine, Time magazine, Newsweek magazine, Spy magazine, The Howard Stern Show, The Globe Tabloid, The Star tabloid,The Owings Mills Times, Rise and Shine "LIVE" TV show, The Baltimore Sun, Dan Rather, Good Morning America, CNN, and many others ALL reported this story.

The best selling author and writer for the Prestigious New Yorker magazine Jeffrey Toobin wrote on page # 311 that Comedian/Actor(SAG) Mike Gabriel was responsible for this very funny media hoax. He interviewed Gabriel after Dominick Dunne printed in Vanity Fair magazine that Rosa Lopez ended the engagement and left "Sensei" Mike Gabriel because she was ALLERGIC to the CATS at his Cat Yoga(r) school.(Nov 95 issue. Page # 145)
