"Plants sow seeds of hate"
Fiona Hudson, city editor
Herald Sun News (Au)
10 Dec 04
A FLORAL foul-up has left a city street lined with swastika
shapes in a week of major Jewish celebrations.
(Poster's note---> Be sure 2 click on the tinyURL
link above soon to see pics of the Begonias-from-Birkenstau
in Downtown Melbourne before they "dissappear"
like leftist stoodents from Chile.... )
Gardeners hired by Melbourne City Council intended to
arrange the purple and white pot plants into neat
geometric shapes. But they left six 3m garden beds along
Swanston St displaying large Nazi Swastikas.
Jewish community representatives were appalled
last night by the timing of the blunder. City venues
including Federation Square are hosting hundreds
of Jews this week to celebrate the eight-day
Hanukkah festival.
The council sent hired green thumbs to rearrange
the six offending garden beds last night, about an
hour after Herald Sun inquiries. "The arrangements
even if done inadvertently, are in appalling taste,"
Lord Mayor John So said. "I have asked that
they be changed immediately."
Vandals were initially believed to have rearranged
the plants as a racist slur. But closer investigation
showed gardeners had inadvertently used the pattern.
Jewish-born councilor Carl Jetter at first said he
was appalled by the arrangements, which he thought
were vandalism. "It's sad and it's unnecessary. It makes
us, as an international destination, more uncomfortable," he said.
"I disagree with and don't want to see any racist activity in our city."
When told the swastikas appeared to be
unintentional, Cr Jetter dismissed concerns.
"It just sounds like an accident," he said.
A spokeswoman for Melbourne deputy mayor Gary
Singer, who is also Jewish, declined to make a comment.
Holocaust Museum president Shmuel Rosenkranz
described the flower fiasco as offensive to most Melburnians.
"Any swastika anywhere would be of offence to
anybody who lived through the Hitler era," he said.

ObTHitler'sflowerarangement: After reading this I am
really tempted to go and buy a whole bunch of white and
red poinsettia plants arrange the red ones in a
rectangle, the white ones in a circle, then get a bunch
of those el-cheapo Chink made blue-color icesickle
lamps or perhaps the "multi-colored" light strings
that have the chaser-effect thingie into the "marching
cross" of Der Fatherlandas a nice X-mas lawn display
for the pending Saturnalia....
ObtHitler'sX-MASlights 2: On second thought, my rabidly
right wing xian neighbor down the street has a whole
bunch of Chink-made white lites on his bushs out front behind his
3' tall plastic Made-in-Hong-Kong faded out nativity cresch.
Perhaps some of those white lights will "walk" off the
branches in a few days to form a Swastika on his friggin
front lawn, right in the grass in front of the baby jeebus
and the goddam flag this ultra-patriot Bush loving fuckwit
has on the tree (...in lights!) not more than 5 feet away.
Yeah...that's his x-mas message...praise jeebus, wave the
freakin flag in xmas bulbs and blow up an Iraqi for the GOP....
(I'm gonna be siccccck).
Oh well,
Happy Saturnalia! --> http://www.e-sheep.com/Saturnalia/

That's why they should only hire Italian
gardeners. When they fuck up the most
there is to worry about is a floral
portrait of Mussolini.

I saw this in the paper last week, but forgot to take that sheet home with
me from my parent's place.

This sort of thing does not happen by accident. If they can plant patterns
in the floral clock without first seeing the flowers, someone must have
known this was going to happen.

There were some dudes driving around with some Bitchin' Manora's on top of
their cars in the past week.

Actually, these look like flats of flowers, most likely already in bloom or
close to it, so the colors could be seen, when they were placed onto the
pallets. Minor difference, though. I agree, that wasn't an accident.
I have an idea there's suddenly job openings in the civic landscaping
department.

How amusing! Springtime for Hitler in December up here while he's down
in Hell, painting roses on the walls. It sure is a stinky world, but at
least its colorful.
