Toilet Graffiti | Toilet Quotes | Toilet Art - The Origin Of Social Networking

Oct. 18, 2010 - PRLog -- Toilet Graffiti | Toilet Quotes | Toilet Art - The Origin Of Social Networking...Toilet graffiti, also referred to as bathroom graffiti, is philosophy at it's finest. Every day, every person, somewhere, somehow, sits down on a toilet. Around 20 percent of these squats take place in a public bathroom. A large percentage of these public bathroom stalls are “marked” with personal reflections, confessions, poetry, prose, questions, and answers and sometimes, bits of wisdom. We’ve all seen these markings, and perhaps even contributed to them. Each sentence or phrase is totally anonymous, untraceable, and yet provides an interesting insight into our culture. The website, JohnStallWisdom.com is scheduled to go live November 1, 2010. Martin Lewis, Media Director for John Stall Wisdom has stated that the Origin of Social Networking was likely a tree that was used for cover when man relieved himself and he carved messages for others to decipher all while he was taking care of business. Fast forward a few centuries and “stalls” were built around the "john" (first flush toilet was invented by Sir John Harrington, thus the name) giving mankind a much more conducive substrate to communicate socially. Martin Lewis reminds us that in addition to a vast collection of TOILET GRAFFITI text, the website will also host videos and photos of TOILET GRAFFITI from around the globe.
TOILET GRAFFITI will remain as the most enduring form of social networking as long as man uses a common place to relieve himself. MySpace was once "the place to socialize" and express your art, individualism, and your personal reflections and make them known to total strangers as well as your co-workers and fellow students. Facebook is now the current popular forum to express your thoughts, pleasures and opinions. We will be writing on the John Stalls long after Facebook evolves into obscurity. Others will come and go as mankind goes forward but TOILET GRAFFITI will stand the test of time just as it has for the millenniums that have passed. As the staff at JohnStallWisdom.com readies the website for launch on November 1, 2010, They find it difficult not to tell the world what is coming their way. Snippets of TOILET GRAFFITI representative of what is coming have found their way to the Net. Such things as;

“SINCE WRITING ON TOILET WALLS IS DONE NEITHER FOR CRITICAL ACCLAIM, NOR FINANCIAL REWARDS, IT IS THE PUREST FORM OF ART”

"Some come here to sit and think
some come here to shit and stink
but I came here to scratch my balls
and read the writing on the stalls"

-And-

"If you sprinkle
When you tinkle
Please be neat
And wipe the seat"

-Or this contender for king of John Stall Wisdom

"What moron writes on the toilet stalls?"
