Greeks vent election despair through graffiti

[dipsydoodle]

(Reuters) - The messages are stark - the prime minister is an IMF puppet, life inside the euro is a death sentence, don't vote.

With an election just days away that may decide whether debt-choked Greece stays in the single currency, Greeks are using graffiti to cover Athens' walls - and sometimes its historic buildings - with rage.

"It's due to desperation," said Professor Theodosis Pelegrinis, the Rector of the University of Athens, whose elegant neoclassical facade has been targeted by graffiti.

"If you have no hope for the future you try to destroy everything."

1. GASP! THE MONSTERS!

That's right. the evil here isn't the austerity being forced upon the Greeks by larger nations seeking to keep their own banking industries flush and happy. The evil here isn't the sudden reality that a long-standing continental partnership for trade and cooperation has suddenly turned into a bunch of backstabbing greedy shits bleeding their former "europartners" for a buck.

No, the true evil is that the Greek people are... are... *sob* WRITING ON WALLS!!!! Can you believe it?! the fiends! The blaggards! Oh but this is such a TERRIBLE inconvenience for the tourist! Won't someone please, please think of the holidaying Eurozoners who are happily oblivious and uncaring about what their home nations are doing to their lovely resort? Why... they might be reminded of unpleasant things, and no one wants an unpleasant vacation!

Clearly, priorities are well in order at the Associated press!

...

For fuck's sake.
