are you sure it's stupidity? you could just make this shit up and sell your story to some media outlet. so many ways a playa can play the game.
Something tells me this guy isn't a master of chicanery.
But then again:
Quote
Mr Clatworthy previously made headlines in 2007 when, aged 12, he used his judo skills to catch a drink-driver who had crashed into three cars in Ilkeston Road, Radford
.Maybe he's a master at courting the press for his own gain.
Another conspiracy? Great! We surely did not have enough of those on btctalk!
But I tend to agree. I had tons of quasi-important stuff to share with the media in my life, but they ignored me.
But stories like that go viral.
Do you simply call some newspaper and say "I'm a dumb fuck, exploit my life story" and they say "okay, we sure have nothing else to do" ?
Another similar story is the guy who allegedly threw his hard-drive with his bitcoins he'd mined a couple of years ago in the trash. There was no evidence that he had even minded the coins apart from his story and the media was having a field day with it.
EDIT: in that pic he reminds me of Jean Reno from Leon/Professional
I didn't see it before, but he kinda does.
Smart a**
Where's reasoning behind it? I can imagine participating in some kind of radio lottery which goes live in 1 hour
