Last night at about 2am EST, Indonesian filmmaker Joko Anwar released a single, fateful tweet:
If I got my 3000th follower today, I’ll go into a Circle K naked.
It is now almost noon EST. And Joko Anwar has more than 10,000 followers. You can bet he’s getting publicity out of this. Alas, he also has to walk into a Circle K naked.
His follow-up tweets:
1 hour after initial tweet: You perverts! Hahahaha…
Almost 2 hours later: Ok. It looks like it’s gonna happen. Damn youuuu…!!! I’ll do it at night, ok?? Happy?????
Then: Damn. It’s so hard to get people to watch my movies, yet it’s so easy to make people want to see me naked. Just wait for pics tonight.
2 hours later: Have mercy. Let me do it at night. You’ll get the pics when you wake up tomorrow. Promise. *crying while doing push-up*
5 hours later: Be patient. Looking for the right Circle K.
His friends later livetweeted the actual event. As promised, Anwar ran naked into a Circle K. Here’s a picture of him (found on tweetphoto):
There are several lessons here. 1) Twitter is powerful publicity. People will follow you instantly–if you say the right thing. 2) The “right thing” may involve doing something embarrassing. 3) Is it worth it?
Yet he did it and uploade his naked pic!
He kept his words and bravely insane!
According person with twitter id @iwetramadhan, the picture of naked Jokoanwar taken @ circle K Bintaro Sektor 2, Tengerang , Jakarta, Indonesia

#3 ) Is it worth it?
It’s embarassing. You better do something important than this. Just like making some movies. You just looks like an abnormal person. Such an idiot. It will make your country ashamed because of your attitude. You better think straight now, moron.
Nais inpohh Gan!!(*tjap jempol!!)
mantab gan ! :beer:
KEWL!!!
garila.. si joko edan
Cendol 2 glass for mas joko
repsol nih
It really doesn’t matter if some see Mr. Anwar as a frenetic director who goes running around naked just to gather viewers for his movies.
What really takes the cake is Anwar got his wish: he garnered a lot of Twitter followers — which will surely gather enough influence to spike up his viewership in his next premiere.
However, I don’t think the people who saw him running in his birthday suit in Circle K will bother to watch his films though.
Ah gw GAGAL PERTAMAX gan !!
Btw mas joko gokil jg nih :beer:

Kaskus moderators put his dare into the website and thousands people just help to make it come true. 7000 followers within 3 hours.

The “right thing”, I think we must define it clearly, because not any “right thing” have so powerful as Joko Anwar said.
