Alan Irwin Abel (August 2, 1924 â€" September 14, 2018) was an

American hoaxer, writer, and mockumentary filmmaker famous for several

hoaxes that became media circuses.Born on August 2, 1924 in

Zanesville, Ohio, Abel graduated from Ohio State University with a

B.S. in Education. One of Abel's earliest pranks took place in the

late 1950s. Abel posed as a golf pro who taught Westinghouse

executives how to use ballet positions to improve their game.Beginning

May 27, 1959, with a story on the Today Show, the Society for

Indecency to Naked Animals (SINA), was Abel's most elaborate hoax.

SINA's mission was to clothe naked animals throughout the world. They

are best known today for their tagline: "A nude horse is a rude

horse". As a spokesman for the group, Buck Henry appeared as "G.

Clifford Prout" on television and radio several times, including the

CBS Evening News on August 21, 1962. The hoax began as a satire of

media censorship but took on a life of its own with sympathizers

offering unsolicited contributions (always returned), citizen

summonses for walking naked dogs, and sewing patterns for pet clothes.
