Let's make a celebrity out of this guy with hair a little out of the ordinary, while the rest of the team, who worked just as hard, goes unnoticed and under-appreciated. Also, let's praise this guy so much that the only thing he has to be thankful about is his decision to get a mohawk, and not his engineering degree.
