Theater / Character Study / Teh Internets The Many Uses of Twitter

Posted by on Mon, Jun 21, 2010 at 10:36 AM


Cornish theater grad wants to go to the Cannes Advertising Festival. (Really? Of all the places you could go, you want to go to the Cannes Advertising Festival?) The Chicago-based ad firm Leo Burnett (founded by the guy who came up with the Jolly Green Giant, the Marlboro Man, and Toucan Sam) agrees to send him if he'll perform any stunt sent to him via Twitter.

So the strategy is working—for now. I am watching him, I am blogging about him, and I am already bored with the idea before I've even finished writing the post. (That's the 21st-century news cycle, folks!)


But the live feed (and the Twitter commandment-widget) is here if you want to see what the boy does next.

If I were a Twitterer (Tweeter? Twit?), I would command him to have some fucking dignity.

Actually, Nice and Antibes are quite nice, and Cannes is a good launch point along the train that hugs the Cote d'Azur.

You do know Milan is a gritty industrial town, even if the fashion industry is there, right?

What if I sent him a message on twitter that told him to log out?
