Who is Mark Hole? Is he your favourite new musician? Is he your favourite new meme?

I hate to go all Hipsterrunnoff on you, but when a man’s second name is Hole, his first name doesn't sound a billion miles off 'arse', and his press release includes bragging quotes from his school reports, you’ve got to wonder if the world will prick up it’s ironic ears and listen. I was sent this by a friend already four people down the chain, is this the beginning of a craze? Mark Hole probably hopes so. Here, learn about his life:

A hyperactive and erratic boy, Mark struggled to find an outlet for his restless energy and natural exuberance. School was never easy and Mark was diagnosed with heavy dyslexia – adding further to his frustration. This, combined with frequent clashes with teachers over his refusal to conform, young Hole was regularly suspended. He was never expelled though, perhaps because of that winning smile, but certainly because his fiery little heart was always in the right place. So it went on, until on one school day the saviour of Mark’s soul presented itself…Music! Suddenly Mark Hole, impossible little wretch, was getting excellent reports – “Mark’s great! He is well behaved and focused.’
