Australian man living inside giant Jabulani ball

In a scenario that would have Fabio Capello and just about every player at this year’s World Cup preferring to tear their hair out with a garden hoe, an Australian man has been and will be living inside a massive version of the hated Adidas Jabulani World Cup ball for the entirety of the tournament.
