  2. Probably a itinerant claymationer.

  3. Illiterate backpackers?
    Geographically challenged backpackers?

    Whatever.

  4. What does it say about a backpacker, a guest ofthe hostel, when he writes on your walls? Not only stupid and illiterate but ill-mannered as well.

    Yes, Contrail, you can see why that one is staying in the hostel…
    Probably doesn’t know the difference between a shower curtain and toilet paper.

  8. A classic case of speaking truth to power whilst drunk.

  11. I am still trying to work out the love-heart. This isn’t “I heart Pleistocene”, it is more like loving the “Free Polystyrene” movement, with their Fatwas, bombs, zoologically unrestrained extended families hosting children’s shows.

    Of course, if it really says “Free PlayStation”, well, that would be different.

  12. There should be an ‘and’, rather than a comma, between ‘bombs’ and ‘zoologically’ in the previous post. What can I say; their English is terrible.

  13. How many plasticines do I have to buy before I get a free one??? Hmmm how many?

  14. Here’s me thinking they were giving away free Sith Lords, cos they come in reeeaaal handy when negotiating high-pressure supermarket cashiers.

    “Free Palpatine”

  15. I think it was just the hostel staff, didn’t know how to spell “pastries”.

    Posted by RebeccaH on 2008 03 20 at 11:04 AM • permalink

  16. No no no..it was meant to say, “Free Palstein”, that Israeli guy, Shalom Palstein, who was imprisoned for blocking with his body a D9 dozer from demolishing a house in Gaza.

  17. Nice to see the Plastines Ascendant Collective Organization is finally seeing its day in the sun.

  19. Free coffee too!  We shouldn’t have to pay for that beverage.  Free coffee now!

  20. ’Free Palestine. Get your limited edition,framed and Arafat autographed Palestinian State at a massive discount. Call now, and we’ll give you official corruption, public squalor and homicidal sociopaths! Hurry, this offer is valid until the Jew is pushed into the sea! Call now, and we’ll throw in two pointless UN Resolutions. (Ask for a quote on 1x UN Building, rarely used, only blood on the carpet.) Our UN and Europe operator’s are standing by!’

  21. I had pleurisy when I was a kid (40s and 50s)
    I can remember my Grandma putting these hot poultices on my chest and back, made out of some dark ages recipe, and sold in a can with the trade name of Plastine.  Worked...no longer do I have pleurisy

  22. Liberate Plastic! Get your own suicde belt, load it up, and show your love in one heartfelt detonation..

  23. Either a backpacker has Lhasa fever or…

    ... so many people have seen “free palestine” on TV that they think Palestine is an English word meaning something - rather like “free money” or “Free corn flakes” - that it is written on walls by non-english speaking peoples as a protest pattern.

  24. Are you sure it’s not Free Plasticine?

    Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2008 03 20 at 06:23 PM • permalink

  25. Free Pleastime?

    Posted by Wimpy Canadian on 2008 03 20 at 06:24 PM • permalink

  26. Free plastine??  Couldn’t agree more; Garrett’s lunatic idea of a $1 levy on these useful beauties (made from recycled material and all!) is criminal.

  27. It’s “Free Plaistein” isn’t it?

    Ira Plaistein is an IDF stormtrooper who was kidnapped by heroic jihadi gangsters forces in Gaza last year.

    Plaistein was involved in a Zionist imperialist cultural genocide operation ruthlessly oppressing the MY First Bomb-belt" trade , and the age old Palestinian tradition of celebrating their cultural wealth with home made rockets fired from behind crowds of women and children.

    The graffitist’s heart is obviously in the wrong place.

  28. Actually, the Tibetans are living proof that occupation isn’t the root cause of terrorism.

    They are brutally occupied, yet unlike the Palestinians, have never blown themselves up or tried to murder Chinese kids. Nor have they fired rockets into Mainland China shouting “Buddha is Great”.

    If you ever needed proof that Islam was the problem, not Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians, consider that not one Christian Palestinian has have ever blown himself up either.

    Free Palestine (with every burger purchased).

  29. i thought it was meant to be “free plaid time” which of course, in my mind means, c’mon men in kilts!

  31. If it’s “Plasticine”, maybe he’s trying to tell us that Gumby has been kidnapped! noooooooooooooooooooo
