Because the Rooterman Can! Hall Conquers New Medium of Publicity, Total Public Humiliation
Franklin, TN~ Winston Hall announced late last week he would be making an appearance at a Nashville trade show next week as the loveable Rooterman, the superhero mascot for the Rooterman corporation.
The unexpected move by Hall came late last week. According to the Associated Press, Hall made the decision to appear as Rooterman over the weekend because of "substantial finanicial gain resulting from the appearance."
"Well, I've publicly humiliated myself many times and never received any financial retribution for it," Hall said. "It will be nice for once in my life to receive payment for something so unbelievably embarassing."
According to the press release, Hall's costume will be "similar to Superman's, only not as cool and hip to the 5-25 year-old age demographic."
Among Hall's duties will be posing as Rooterman for photos and entertaining small children, and possibly the distribution of marketing material for the Rooterman Corporation.
"You know, pretending to be Rooterman was 1,456th on my list of things to do in life," Hall said. "Who knew it would jump to the top so fast?!" According to Hall, his Rooterman appearance supplanted base jumping off Mt. Everest as his next to-do.
As an unexpected perk, Hall was notified by the Rooterman Corporate offices that he would also receive two free tickes the the Grand Ole Opry for his troubles.
"What can I say? It's kind of like winning the lottery," Hall said. "Well except I won't have all the piles of money and freedom from financial burdens for the rest of my life. But mostly, it is. Kind of."
Hall's appearance will start Thursday and last through Saturday.
That's the story of my life...
