Zeitgist my arse.

Another from Richarbl’s Grand Tour  of Victoria. I really have to take issue with high school art teachers here. Where is the teacher brave enough to say, “No, trust me, it will look like shit. I understand you young people in your enthusiasm are unable to understand this, but it will look like shit. I’ve been teaching arseholes like you for twenty years and the bus will look like shit. You paint fucking “zeitgeist” on that bus and I promise you it will be the last thing you do on this planet.”

    Oh no. Not the Baravan From Hell.

    If ever these poor deluded souls make it across the Nullabor without featuring in their own home-movie version of Wolf Creek, maybe they need to repair to Ibis Caravan Park in Inglewood, and ask very nicely if they can park there.

    Not sure if they can bring their own pets, tho’.

    The “This sucks” just above the numberplate is the most honest thing on the entire bus.

    Their spelling of zeitgist (sic) is better than their art.

    I dispair for the young. To be fair, it does look like something that might have been done at a TAFE.

    I love that somebody with a spraycan has decided to make this an artisitic collaberation. ‘Go OVERKILL yourself’ and ‘I eat dick for breakfast’. Could this be the new Banksy?

      There are different levels, I’m seeing
      “I think I’m dumb
      j’aime le monde
      I eat dick for breakfast”
      as quite a complex expression of Proustian youthfulness

    It’s not only the buses that are special in Byron – the occupiers would fit in perfectly
