Business in front, party in the back, see you in court!

An Australian man is suing two newspapers and a radio station for hyping – and perhaps mocking – his extreme mullet haircut.

Ali “Ziggi” Mosslmani said he’s been subject to emotional abuse, and called “hideously ugly, due to work by Sydney’s Daily Telegraph, the UK’s Daily Mail and the Australian Radio Network.

Ziggy became an internet sensation back in June when a picture of him at a party emerged. The picture seemed to show the front three-quarters of his dome was close-cropped, in stark contrast to his flowing back, shoulder-length locks.

Judge Judith Gibson allowed the defamation lawsuit to go forward, but said she has doubts about serious wounds suffered by Ziggy.

“The plaintiff has not been compared to Frankenstein, or some other hideously ugly figure,” Gibson said. “His haircut has been criticized as ridiculous.”
