Bathroom Graffiti of the Day

must. go. to. that. school.

Win win win win.

Though it seems like it’d be a bit hard to read those first few lines while sitting…

Much better than the idiotic graffiti in the bathroom stalls at my college.

This is bloody brilliant.
I wonder how long it took him to do this.
:’)

Somebody sure has too much time on their hands….

christ, I wish people would stop being so obsessed with those books.

What would impress me is if it were the first chapter of a good book. Harry Potter is a very popular children’s book. I think Justin Bieber should show us that popularity does not imply meaningful substance. Put something from J S Mills’ “On Liberty,” Locke’s “Second Treatise on Government,” Hobbes’ “Leviathan,” Plato’s “Republic,” O’Brien’s “Third Policeman,” or something from any number of books with real meaning.

I think there should be made a project out of it. On each school there should be someone who writes one chapter of one of the books to the wall of a bathroom.

Your hero is a person who spent hours copying the first chapter of a children’s book on a dirty bathroom stall?

Who the fuck wants to read Second Treatise on Government when they are on the shitter? They are going to get OUT of class.. not to learn, but to drop a deuce

You get hemorrhoids sitting on the crapper that long!

Yes.

Yeah, why is this cool? Is everyone that reads this blog 13? This is fuckin’ stupid vandalism.

Methamphetamine.

Like

Reminds me of the time I went to the bathroom at the Memphis College of art during a friends graduate art show. Walking into the bathroom I expected to see some decent well thought out graffiti considering the decent artists I’ve met that go there. After entering the bathroom I saw plain walls void of anything, so I kept looking only to find on a stall door a single, solitary, swastika . . . . . . . .

Agreed.

Yeah, you’ve made a good point. Reading kids overhyped ‘crap’ like Harry Potter sure opens up my bowels. Perfect reading then.
Ah… let’s try it: “Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.” Nnnnnnggggg. MeeeeMMMMMM. Rrrrrrrrrgh! SPA-LOSH! Aaaaah…

Agreed 2.
But the sad thing is is that they probably aren’t 13… physically… but mentally, yes.

oh look, first year readings

Why would anyone spend more time in a restroom stall than necessary? There’s feces and urine everywhere.

Man… that’s depressing dude. Why would you tell us this?

Banksy.

Someone hasn’t read Harry Potter. If you had you would know why people love it so much. I suggest trying it out.

Its postmodern.

Agreed.

If you’re going to attack those books based upon when you read them then I suggest you look at the time most people read Harry Potter. “oh look, middle school readings”

I don’t give a fuck when you read any of those, its the content that matters, and most people cant be bothered to read them at any time (seeing as how there aren’t enough tiny wizards and michael bay style explosions in them).

So you’re saying that they clean the bathrooms at the Memphis College of Art on a regular basis, and that the person who happened to be in there before you was a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Jain or a neo-Nazi?

can you do that?

the book has its copyrights right??

Boring and mainstream.

This is pretty awesome! I’m going to try to do this somewhere except I’ll write chapter 27 from Half Blood Prince.

Someone needs some fiber in their diet

now we know where J K Rowling drops hers

Why do all books need to have deep meaning? I’ve read thousands of books in my life time from every category from classics to new releases, fact and fiction, deep and utterly frivolous. Some days you feel like reading something serious or thought provoking or vocabulary expanding. Some days you feel like reading something fluffy. I don’t think anyone seriously considers Harry Potter to be great literature but they’re good stories which is more than can said for some supposedly great books.

That would be dumb.

I think that’s rather hilarious and twistedly brilliant, but looking at the comments made me sigh in disappointment more than the actual vandalism. Granted it is odd that someone would do that but is it really necessary to try and start philosophical debate on the quality of today’s popular literature based on a bathroom stall copy? O.o Geez! I think it is funny! Laugh, Cry, read it if your using that toilet and then move on with life. Someone took time out of their life for that… that is something to smile about -I mean, it wasn’t you! ^^

Now *I* would like to see someone do that with a fanfiction. ^_^

*enter toilet user*

“Hey! I know this story!”

*reading*

O.o

“When did Harry and Draco get married?! Oh my god! Harry’s pregnant!”

O.O

ROTFL!

You’ve got me there. I’d like to get a stamp on my good-intellectual-practices club card and say that I left myself able to be persuaded. I agree with you. I like a good piece of pulp fiction now and then, too, but I guess I just get worked up by the hype the books get. This is better than a piece of standard graffiti, but I think it could have been put to better use.

You can tell this isn’t done at LSU because there are no glory holes in the stalls.

Or you could realize this is a joke?
See, it’s funny because in the first book Harry is in his first year, so it’s a play on words or a double entendre.

If that’s the chapter that Snape kills Dumbledore in you would be my hero!

Then why was it a response to my post? I think you need to realize the importance of context.

You’re an idiot.

How hipster of you.
Also, hating something just because it’s mainstream is so mainstream.

Fair Use, only using an excerpt, etc.

It’s roughly the equivalent of writing down the lyrics to a popular song in your notebook, then showing them to your friends. Now, if it were in print or ebook format, there’d be a problem.

Classic elitist, “I’m more intellectual than you” attitude. Why are you saying that people can like different things, then pushing the things you like on others?

Those books are great and all, but any wise man will tell you that children are very wise, too, and probably more wise than most adults. Sometimes reading their books can teach you a lot about the simpler things in life. Harry Potter’s biggest theme is love. Sure, there’s a lot of fantasy stuff in there, but everyone needs a break from all the “good, thought-provoking” reading material. And that’s why they’re popular. Those ones you have mentioned are called classics for a reason, too.

Our bathrooms have biology problems on them.

Haha. Based on your name I’m SURE your talking about college library!
