There is a public garbage bin in my neighbourhood that has caught my eye. Not content with being a silent receptacle for trash, it has branched out into comedy.
I call it the Comedy Bin. And it is a delight.
I’ve only managed to photograph two graffiti displays. Here’s the first (for non-Australian readers, ‘Australia First’ is a minor political party often accused of being far-right and racist):
If you can’t read the text at the bottom, here’s a close-up.
“How hilarious that this is written on a bin!”
Nicely handled, Comedy Bin. Someone obviously tried to use you for an unsavoury political message and you fought back. And top marks for the self-depreciating tone too. Tidy work.
Here’s the second piece of graffiti (over the top of the last one):
Your comedy carries insight and truth too, Comedy Bin. What with the mullet, shaved sides, and curly fringe tufts, it really IS a shit haircut. You’re telling it like it is with observational humour. You’re like the Jerry Seinfeld of the bin world.
You know, I’ve been thinking (yes, that does occasionally happen). It’s quite unfair that the bin’s unique comedy stylings aren’t available to anyone outside my neighbourhood.
Comedy Bin should go on tour!
YES!!
I may write a letter to my local council suggesting this. Stay tuned.
I think it’s another job for your new mate Max.
Max is far too busy (not) handling my career.
But I like that you see the potential of Comedy Bin! You’d come and see him perform, yes?
May I suggest that you contribute to the comedibyn show by adding a bit of graf yourself Ms FOAS…eg “for more information about this bin visit http://www.firingonallsyllables.com”
Thank you. Goodnight.
P.S if you are too shy to do this, ask me over to drink beer and I will pump you up. It wouldn’t be the first time we’ve been out destroying public property together.
