One image poking fun of the look shows people using Mosslmani’s head for a game of pin the tail on the donkey. Another meme turned him into the star of the movie Joe Dirt. He’s also been placed on the dollar bill and the Australian 20-cent coin. And there’s a My Little Pony ad featuring multiple Mosslmani heads.
A handful of publications jumped on the bandwagon, but the butt of the joke is not laughing.
The Australian teenager’s hairdo recently inspired a series of memes — and he’s not happy about it. Apparently, this isn’t the type of attention he was going for when he got such a bold haircut.
The ’do is shaved on the sides and top, with long, luscious hair in the back. The photo was taken at an 18th birthday party. It blew up over the summer, receiving more than 11,415 comments, almost 10,000 likes, and more than 1.7 million views within one week
Mosslmani, known as “Ziggy,” filed defamation suits against the Daily Mail, Sydney’s Daily Telegraph and the Australian Radio Network for publishing the photograph and making fun of his unique haircut, according to Mashable.
