The Waterford man famous for his prank notices has gone global overnight

The world loves it.

LAST YEAR, A Waterford man who goes by the name of Sir Michael on Twitter went viral with his hilarious prank notices around the city.

As part of his regular gas antics on Twitter, he has kept up such excellent work – and near the end of January he posted this urgent plea to the people of Waterford:

Overnight, it hit the front page of Reddit and Imgur, garnering over a million views in just eight hours

And his dedication to Hansen:

Keep up the good work, Michael.
