If somebody put a Portapotty in my front yard, I'd chop it up into little pieces. I can't believe morons actually paid these assholes to take it away.

I know, right.. unbelievable..

 

[palad]

Can you say 'trespassing'? I would be waking somebody up real quick if that thing wound up in my yard.

 

[Martin]

isn't that illegal? extortion or raqueteering?

I mean, if I point a gun to someone's head and tell them to give me money, I'm pretty sure I'll go to jail.

 

[Talon]

I don't see any problem here. Just fill it and return it to the church.

 

[vi edit]

Nothing a couple gallons of gasoline and a really long wick can't solve.

 

[MacBaine]

If they put that in my lawn, It'd be blown up so fast......

 

[MrBond]

It sounds like it's all in good fun. If your local elementary school was doing this to raise money for new playground equiptment, 90% of the people wouldn't be complaining. Just because it's a catholic church doesn't mean it's intentions are bad.

(I am not catholic, BTW)

I wouldnt care who did it. $10 would buy me enough gas to burn it to the ground. Then I'll take it myself and dump it in front of the school.

 

[Jugernot]

I'd use it.... for a couple weeks, then give it back to them in peices in their parking lot.

Either that... or open an amusement park on my front lawn.

Yep. Better yet, you move it yourself at night and sell it to someone else. Makes cool $$ as I'm sure those toilets aren't cheap.

those fvcking Iowans....oh, wait, I'm from Iowa

 

[amnesiac]

Why waste a good toilet? I'd lock it in my garage until they paid me to get it back.
I think I'd paint pagan symbols on it and douse it in goat's blood while I was at it.
What a disgraceful church. They should be excommunicated for pulling such a stupid stunt.

Just when are you fvcktards going to realize that one small group of people doesn't represent the thoughts and wishes of the whole group!? :| Bastards. Just because one priest thought it would be cool to make money doesn't give you asses the right to make fun of the whole church. :|

[Jzero]

I'm going to go out on a limb here.

You can't pay $10 to get the toilet placed on ANYONE'S lawn, it has to be another parishioner. I can't drop $10 in the hat and order a hit on John Q. Protestant.

It's a pretty fun way to do some fund raising.

LOL! I've got a donation for ya...

 

[Harvey]

I'd just leave it and hang a big sign on it saying, Donations to the church accepted, inside..

Then, I'd take a photo and send it to the local papers.

You guys have to realize, this isn't showing up on your lawn at all. Fundraisers like this almost always stay within the church body, with people loving to do stuff like this as a joke to their friends within the church. We did "flocking" as a method to raise money for our youth ministry, same idea as this. You paid to have someone's yard covered in lawn flamingos. We didn't make them pay for removal though, but you could buy 'insurance' to keep it from happening. And the flamingos only stuck around a day or so. Lighten up.

I dunno as long as it stays within the church I don't see a problem.

There are a bunch of yahoos on Campus called "The Order of Pi" (note the lack of an e, yes these are computer/math/engineering geeks). You can pledge to get someone set up for a pie in the face in the cafateria at lunch time. The order comes out and announces who is up for pieing. Of course you can try and duck it, but the bastard that pledged you is probably there with you so will pipe up on your behalf

Then you have to match the pledge, or you get a pie in the face.

So your "friend" pays them $X. Then you have to pay them $X or more or else you get pied in the ELW lobby at lunch hour.

You can only pledge other students in the faculty of Engineering, since it goes to the ESS (Engineering Student Society). It's all in good fun, and as long as you don't bring outsiders into it then I don't see what the problem is.

As long as the church isn't doing this to random people, then it seems fine to me.

I like the Pie thing, or the flamingo is funny to, but, I think the Johnny-on-the-spot is a little bit in bad taste. (tacky) Ehhwell guess it's where your from

I'd go eat dinner at Taco Bell, come home and use the porto potty then send it back. That'll teach em.

 

[her209]

They must not want it if they put it in your front yard. In that case, its free for the taking.
