Poster #179: Seaside Heights, NJ, USA
Corey writes: " It would do Mr. Dilkington well to visit this place. Not only is it a lovely little resort town with some great beaches (where I'm sure he would have fun sitting in the sand, bothering the crabs), but there's also a lot of weird stuff an' that. Case in point-- walking home from the boardwalk after putting up the poster, I saw a guy gardening with a chainsaw.
True story."

Poster #176: Düsseldorf, Germany
Chris writes: "Below is a picture of me in the city of Duesseldorf Germany in the old city with my favorite round headed manc twat! You can see me in the picture in front of a poster advertising an art exhibit for Duesseldorf's old Duke--Jan Wellem. And next to those two bald heads, the orange headed idiot Karl Pilkington (OK Jan isn't bald, but that is probably a wig!)"

Poster #174: Honolulu, HI, USA
Devin from Honolulu writes:
"It's official. The phenomenon has come full circle - through the
pacific ocean. This might probably be as far away from England as it
gets. Nowhere more remote, thats for sure. However, we must not forget
what this innocuous poster represents...
-- no matter where you go in the world, across oceans and through
cultures, there are people who, not only share Karl's values and
ideals, but care enough to go out and proudly spread the message just
for one last 30 minutes of escaping our hectic everyday lives, and
reveling in the charming simplicity that is Karl's mind.
It is a beautiful irony that Karl's outlook on life may not be as crazy
as it seems when compared to some of the insanity that is ever present
in all of our lives around the world; and that's why we all love
listening to him.
This is my tribute to the most unprecedented, widespread, cultural icon
of this generation whose fame is global and is based solely the shape
of his head."
Well said. If I were Karl, I'd cry after reading that. This poster is very far from the other posters. Could it actually be the loneliest Karl in the world? That makes me a little sad too.

Poster #173: Lund, Sweden
Jesper writes: "At the mathematical centre in Sweden; University of Lund, Karl is the main subject. Classes are dismissed, lecturers and professors argue about the perfectly spherical thing that is Karl Pilkington's head, as it's the roundest thing they've ever seen. Even IKEA's founder Ingvar Kamprad have noticed it's freakishly shape, and has put Karl's picture outside his own design centre, saying to his employees: "When I say I want it round, I want it as round as this!"
Great to see the first poster from Lund. Having visited the city many times, I think that it is one of my favorite places in Sweden.

Potser #172: San Francisco, CA, USA
David from SF wrote: "I put up 10 posters total on the front and back of five light poles, so people can see Karl's bald Manc head greeting them or wishing farewell at the end of the day."

Poster #171: New York City, USA
George writes: "I have the privilege of a wonderful view from my office on 14th Street in New York City. The only way to make it better is to add the world's roundest head."
You said it!

Poster #170: Calgary Zoo, Calgary, Canada
Jamie's story: "We were asking this peahen if she'd seen Karl as if he were a missing man. Honest to God, she started walking back to where the gorillas are in the zoo. I had a very good laugh at that."
Me too.
