Port-O-Tipping

By Karen Aagaard

20081127potty.jpg
There it was. Tipped over on its side, door slightly ajar, turning heads on Sentinel Road. The blue Port-o-Potty that once stood in solidarity with York University’s TAs, GAs and contract faculty, has fallen. Toppled by a regime that some have called “Angry Undergrads With Something to Say,” or “Bored Undergrads Who Get Drunk and Break/Tip Shit,” it’s clear that the message is… unclear.
A PhD candidate and strike captain who identified himself as Alex von Arbeit Volk (rough German-to-English translation: “Alex of the Working People”) revealed there had been a half-dozen Port-o-Tipping incidents over the past three weeks. “It’s pretty obvious who it was,” said von Arbeit Volk. “I’m guessing the undergrads are just drinking in the dorms and doing this because they have nothing else to do anymore.”
Gone are the good ol’ days of peaceful protest. Behold: potty humour at its worst.

    I just wanted to point out this constitutes two consecutive toilet posts. The toilet trifecta is now in play.

    Shitty.

  • Katyusha

    Oh those college students and their pranks.

  • Mark Ostler

    The perpetrators will most certainly be put on double-secret probation.

  • PeteMadison

    At least there was no one in it.

    We know the students have had to deal with the facultie’s shit, but think about the person who has to clean up the student’s shit.

  • rek

    He’s paid, probably with money from student tuition.

  • Gauldar

    I guess it may aswell be the students to keep the shitty economy going.

    This article seems to miss the port-o-potty tipped on Chimneystack Rd that clearly says something along the lines of “CUPE SUCKS”, with a penis drawn on the other side.
    A minute’s walk towards Keele would show the bus stop with the words “CUPE IS GREEDY” written on the back of the seats.
    People are not happy, and I honestly can’t blame them one bit.

    Cripes, does all vandalism or fun need to have a grand message now?
    That kinda spoils things.
