Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker has a mild-mannered lefty-green way about him, but he can’t hold a candle to the former mayor of Bogata, Colombia, Dr. Antanas Mockus:
Perhaps Mockus is best known for his stunts. Attempting to crackdown on traffic law violations, he hired an army of mimes to stand on street corners and publicly humiliate bad drivers. It worked brilliantly. He also created his super hero alter-ego, “Super Citizen” (complete with spandex and cape), to talk to citizens about civic responsibility. This definitely drew more listeners than a mayoral speech. And then there was his most infamous move of all: In an attempt to get the attention of a tuned-out college age audience, he pulled down his trousers and mooned them.
