meet my bro, john so
one of the cuddly creatures in this photo is melbourne lord mayor john so, best known for being named world mayor of the year in 2006 and for having an entire hip hop song devoted to him, appropriately entitled "john so, he's my bro."
can you guess which one?
i think this is a good visual clue as to why he is so beloved around these parts, enough to have a genuine cult following. puts giuliani to shame. this blog could not truly be about melbourne without giving ol' so a mention.
(unfortunately, i'm sure you guessed correctly: so is the chinese man on the left. however, it would be quite awesome if the actual mayor was the guy in the furries outfit and the other guy was just an unwitting asian man hanging out at the dumpling mecca on tattersall's lane. a girl can dream).
Labels: so many so puns. so little time.

A great insight into Oz life. Thanks Laina.

Unfortunately, the gloss has been wiped from Mr So. Poor management and looming bankruptcy face Melbourne City Council.
I'm sure furry-bear mayor could deal with it.
