SOCKED
When it comes to sock puppets, Melbourne artist and academic Ian Haig is one of the sockiest, as Andrew Bolt reports following an email from “Fran Preston”:
As it happens, the first thing I nosed out was that “Fran Preston” was a fake name put on a new Yahoo account registered by ... gosh, Ian Haig.
Hit them links for details. For his services to sockery, Haig has, of course, received a slice of your taxes. Several slices, in fact; a few years ago he scammed $5000 to present his masterful Brain Tumor Helmets with Microwaves. More recently, Haig pulled in $10,000 to develop Futurotica Mk2, “a body of animatronic and electro mechanical sculptures exploring sex and technology.”
Hmm ... could be time to get on board this gravy train.
