Ziggy - Why He Needs The Internet

I have a meeting in Chiswick West London this morning and I’m hoping to bump into Ziggy.
I first heard of him last night, so it’s real coincidence I’m going to his manor today.
Ziggy is a Polish immigrant who sweeps roads for a living.
So what’s that got to do with the internet?
Quite simply, Ziggy is now an internet celebrity as a result of his very own style of sweeping. He takes his ipod with him and dances as he sweeps. Without the internet the videos of him dancing would not be seen and he would not have become the tourist attraction he is today.
Clearly, Homer has a thing or two to learn from this guy - how to get internet exposure.
I can just see him doing a twirl or two in his Guru Pajamas. Anything for some exposure. I just hope he remembers to button up properly!
Which reminds me I must check with Marge to see if he is out of his hypnotised trance yet.
On a serious note, this is exactly the type of outrageous publicity that Joe Vitale talks about (see Hypnotic) and although Ziggy doesn’t appear to have an agenda, marketing seems to be about daring to be a little different!
