They’ve started postering again, but as you can see, the locals aren’t standing for it.
I’ve got no idea who knocked out this handiwork but good luck in your campaign. I will stick with the scraping off and media whoring route.
There is a semi-amusing comment thread going on over at Luke Connor’s site which I’m sure you’d all love to contribute to. According to the official PYL site, this is “an interesting blogspot.”
The PYL have also started up another site. Well, I’d say Andrew Wilson has simply started up one of his own. He appears to be closer with Jim Saleam than the others.
Have a look at the site. You will see that they are openly supporting self-confessed neo-Nazi Jack Van Tongeren. I guess that graffiti above is rather fitting.
You will also see an alleged “interview” with Ryde Greens Councillor, Tom McCosker. Apart from not being able to spell his name correctly, they’ve also acted a tad sus by turning a phone conversation into an interview. Tom wasn’t aware that he was being interviewed and after having a good laugh about the whole thing, he has decided to pass the matter on to Ryde Council’s PYL casebook.
Most interestingly, you will also see their mascot is a particular cuddly children’s character. I have already fired off two emails and a snail mail letter to Dorothy Wall’s estate in regard to their inappropriate use of Blinky Bill. Wall didn’t just write the books, she illustrated them as well and her estate still owns the copyright to all words and images associated with Blinky Bill. Dorothy was a diehard lefty in life and I’m sure her estate will see to it that her wishes for the portrayal of her characters are observed.
Weezil follows the Blinky Bill trail
Weezil has pulled off a nice little coup: Goodbye gumnut blue gum, goodbye Blinky Bill. That deserves a big round of applause. I completely forgot about the Blinky Bill film and cartoon series. As it turns out, that is where the copyright is presently kept.
It turns out that Yoram Gross OAM is the last person the Patriotic Youth League should be stealing artwork from:
Born in Krakow to a Jewish family, Yoram endured World War II under the Nazi regime. His family was on Oskar Schindler’s infamous list, but chose to make their own risky escape, moving hiding places 72 times.
Yoram looks back on these times as a valuable catalyst. He has a lot to say to children and every one of his films contains a message, including loyalty, peaceful resolve and good winning over evil.
Update
They were warned once, twice and a third time but they stuck to their guns. Now the decision as to whether or not the PYL pulled down the artwork they stole off a Holocaust Survivor has been taken out of their hands.
Their Freewebs site has been frozen.
And it won’t stop there. The PYL have most certainly pissed off the wrong people this time. They had better get their PYL Legal Team on the case pretty quick smart because the people at Yoram Gross are not holding back on this one.
Again, muchos kudos to Weezil. Remember — everyone is welcome to get on board for this ride. Of course, it helps if we coordinate so if you have any ideas for the campaign, feel free to drop us a line and get involved.
