David "Hatchet Man" Hull is a fixture on the Valenti and Foster show. You have probably talked to him on the phone once or twice while calling into the show and you've undoubtedly seen him on our video stream HERE or on our You Tube channel HERE.

While browsing around the internet on this lovely Thursday afternoon, I came across this story of a young man who brought the video game "Super Smash Bros." to his prom. And I thought he looked awfully familiar.

I couldn't help but ask myself, "is that David?"

Now at first I wanted to make sure I wasn't off my rocker and I asked six different people "who is this?" Each and every person responded that it was indeed David.

As a matter of fact it isn't David at all. His name is Chris Burwell. Burwell made national news for bringing the video game to prom this past weekend.

According to NYmag.com:

I'm a big fan of the game. There's a big fan base for Super Smash Bros. Melee specifically, and I've been a fan of the game for a long time. I saw a couple weeks ago that a guy took his waifu to prom, and I thought, That's very funny, but I'm not that bad. What else could I do? And I thought I'll take Melee, because there's such a big fan base and I'm one of those fans. It felt right. It was the heat of the moment.

Now that you have looked at photos of Mr. Burwell, here is a photo of David.

We want to hear from you, is it just me or do David and Chris Burwell look like twins?
