Australian man lives in soccer for the whole World Cup period

Adam Santarossa should be the luckiest soccer fan in the world. During the whole World Cup tournament, he will be able to live inside a soccer ball totally for free and even get well paid for blogging, tweeting and playing video games. He is a live ad for Adidas Jabulani World Cup ball.

Santarossa was selected by Adidas to spend the month-long tournament inside of the gigantic (six meters in diameter) Jabulani watching the matches and doing other things about the sports. At the moment Santarossa describes the life as an easy one. It surely is. He was given a cleaner, free laundry, a PlayStation 3 and a laptop for daily life. When his mission is finished, he will get paid 3,000 Australian dollars along with the contents of the ball and three bags full of sports gears, including even a Brett Favre jersey belonging to a famous American football player.

Visits from friends are allowed, so the life will not too boring. Anyway, as a soccer fan and video game lovers, Santarossa does not hate living alone. But he still felt uncomfortable at first because people passing by always peered into the ball through the windows, making himself feel like a human zoo animal. But at last Santarossa overcame the discomfort and found the life quite enjoyable. He even joked that he hoped the company could extend his lease.
