The project resulted in Adam receiving thousands of emails from women who thought they could have been this dream woman as well as hundreds of thousands of hits to his website and YouTube Channel[15].
Employ Adam (2012)[edit]
In 2012, Pacitti commissioned a billboard that read:
"I SPENT MY LAST £500 ON THIS BILLBOARD. PLEASE GIVE ME A JOB. EMPLOYADAM.COM"
This billboard garnered the attention of news sites and television programmes like ITV[16]. The billboard as well as the media attention resulted in him getting multiple job offers and hits on his website. The website EmployAdam.com[17] is still up as of June 2021.
GB News Mooning (2021)[edit]
On June 16th, 2021 during an online questions segment of 'Tonight Live with Dan Wootton' on GB News, Pacitti mooned the studio audience and hosts Dan Wootton & Laurence Fox[18].
Pacitti was chosen to ask the question via video chat, while facing the camera with a reflecting mirror in the background. Pacitti moved the camera slightly to reveal his bare bottom in the reflection of the mirror then quickly moved it back up, briefly mooning the viewers and hosts.
His question, about people being "offended by a joke" appeared innocent, with Wootton and Fox carrying on and answering the question. But while the hosts seemed to miss it, television viewers were quick to share images, jokes and outrage at the gag.
Similar to his other stunts, many large publications were quick to publish stories about the incident, including Mirror[19] & Metro[20]
