This is what vandalism looks like at PAX photo

Go to any public bathroom stall, and you can expect to find the following examples of vandalism:

  • Violently, worryingly, busted door lock.
  • Piss absolutely everywhere, except for in the toilet.
  • Missing lavatory seat.
  • Mysterious waist-high hole in the wall (I think they swap PEZ dispensers through it?).
  • Scrawlings on the tiles, describing vague sexual threats with accompanying phone numbers.

None of these items were visible during my frequent visits to the filth-factories at PAX, but I did stumble upon the above inscription, which apparently is the closest to hardcore vandalism that 60,000+ geeks get. Yes, it's just "No More Heroes" scrawled on the wall, confident that you'll "get" it. This is perhaps the only time graffiti's been productive. 

You GO, gamers!

the graffiti in the lads toilets in my school is fucked up. the stuff about the girl teachers is disgusting, yet suprisingly creative.

also way back when i was in primary school someone wrote on the wall with their own shit.

"Mysterious waist-high hole in the wall (I think they swap PEZ dispensers through it?)"

This might be the funniest thing you've ever written.

I'm not sure if that's a compliment or not, though it was made in good will. Take it as you like.

Truly, public bathroom stalls are where the great minds of contemporary poetry collaborate.

for a good time email tips@destructoid.com

Actually, have we reached the point yet where listing phone numbers in bathroom stalls is obsolete, replaced by facebook profiles or email addresses? It's got to be getting close.

I hope that graffiti remains there in coming years to accompany those dropping a save.

Well that must have looked weird...
"Hey, isn't that Jim Sterling, the destructoid writer guy?"
"Yeah... Why's he taking that camera into the bathroom with him..."
"It's probably to take pictures of his PEZ dispenser or something."

I SAW THAT! The stall doors had ads for Prototype 2 with some sort of #2 joke.
