The guy dressed in leather, with a tattooed face, and twenty piercings, who says people don't understand his art, is alien and likely offensive to a lot of people. That's probably why the press loves to find these stories, and of course they always add he's on the dole/collecting welfare.
These examples stick in peoples minds and quickly surface when the subject comes up, rather than the kindly widow with four kids, down the street.
Plus everyone has a friend/neighbor, who knows someone, who knows somebody, who's gaming the system.
