Haters gonna hate......

So, obviously when you do something like this you open yourself up to criticism.

Most people have seen this challenge for the bit of fun that it is and of course they see that I'm exploring the issues that this form of advertising/game brings with it.

My Man vs McMonopoly adventure has hit the media and it was published in the Newcastle Herald on Saturday.

The photo, above. which was snapped by Darren Pateman, is a beauty, but I don't think it's really going to help out with the whole single thing, but hey, at least they know where I'm taking them on a first date.

The story was also shared on Facebook and over 30,000 enagaged with the post, either stopping by to abuse me or wish me luck!

Now, I'm pretty used to criticism, learning how to accept it is probably the most important skill in journalism.

Being called an idiot doesn't bother me, nor does someone saying I have no life.

I'm currently eating cheeseburgers in my spare time, I'm well aware of how exciting my life is.

One reader also asked the paper to 'wake me up when he's dead'....I should really stop my family from commenting on stories.

There's also people debating the distance I've traveled, after a bit of confusion in the article. It stated I'm visiting 19 McDonalds in the 19km from Newcastle. Which is true. 

I visited Wyong on the drive to Sydney last week, which is not one of the 19 in the 19km that I'm checking off, but is down on the list as one I've visited...

People are debating this shit...

For people that aren't aware I lived in a giant Adidas football during the 2010 World Cup and I'm pretty famous now, so I'm used to the life of a celeb and having plenty of haters... ;) (clearly a joke)

In fact, when I was living in the football, which was meant to be soundproof, but wasn't, I'd sit there and listen to the people outside, who clearly thought I couldn't hear them.

The best was when I was sitting inside and a guy was walking around the ball and stated - "Oh look there's a guy in there....is he living in there? What a loser!"

You can only laugh...and the guy was probably correct.

Yes, so I just find the comments funny. At the end of the day, it's all a bit of fun, mixed with some serious issues being looked at through my experience.

It is enjoyable though to read people telling you what you're doing is - 'grose' and 'discusting'...yes, that happened.

Also, just quickly

YES I HAVE SEEN SUPERSIZE ME AND THIS IS NOT THE SAME THING!!!!!

Just give me a prize already...............
