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.

Poster #166: Jupiter, FL, USA
William wrote: "Karl on a palm tree outside my house in sunny, tropical South Florida. Karl probably wouldn't like it here given the lightning and tornadoes an' that."
And if the place is called Jupiter, Karl has finally visited another planet.

Poster #159: Decatur, GA, USA
John from Decatur writes: "The poster is located at a small community park outside Atlanta … the ball-playing youths no doubt confused now by two round objects on the pitch (three, counting the sunflower).
Also, last Halloween I used a simple Karl cutout guide to carve our pumpkins. Naturally, the head fits perfectly on the orange surface."

Poster #155: Bogotá, Columbia
Sandra Patrizia from Columbia joins the poster project. She the first one to do so from South America! Great.

Poster #151: Rome, Italy
Federica and Adam from Rome write: "Here are a few pictures of the K-man poster plastered on top of some political posters in Rome. People had a hard time choosing the lesser evil in the election today (so they just went with the greater evil in the end), but we think that, given the evidence, we can all agree that Karl's head is perfectly round.
But we also thought that, in fairness, Ricky deserved a poster of his own. So we made one for him, celebrating his accomplishment of being (in the words of Stephen Merchant) "The most annoying person ever (in the history of all things)." The last part wouldn't fit on the poster."
Wonder what Ricky thinks of that poster? I like it.

Poster #148: Geneva, Switzerland
Lukas and Klara from Geneva write: "This picture is taken in Geneva, Switzerland. You can see the Jet d'Eau in the background. One of the stereotypes involving Switzerland is that it's cheese has large holes in. However, even a hole in Swiss cheese isn't as spherical as The Manc Twat's bald little head. UN Resolution MANC-TWAT passed last night in Geneva implores Dilkington to do another series of podcasts..."

Poster #144: Winnipeg,Canada
Katie writes: "Put this poster up on our street corner in Winnipeg, Canada. The weather's still pretty gray here, so I thought the street could use Karl's happy little Manc face to cheer up the place."

Poster #140: Mount Laurel, NJ, USA
Michael writes: "Being a fan of Karl's for years and having to spend lots of cash on his podcasts, books, and what have you. I thought it would be appropriate to hang one a poster on my local Bank."
