Tourist spray-paints New Zealand glacier

AUCKLAND, (RIA Novosti) - A German tourist spent a day and a half cleaning graffiti from a world famous glacier in New Zealand after he was caught red handed defacing the rocks, the NZPA said Tuesday. British tourists photographed Jan Philip Scharbert, 28, from Munich, last week as he was spray-painting the 12 kilometer (7.4 mile) long Franz Josef Glacier located on the west coast of New Zealand's South Island. The photos were later handed to conservation staff, who informed the police.

Scharbert was arrested as he got on a bus to leave the site. He was ordered to clean up the graffiti and spent a day and a half chipping the paint off the rocks with an ice pick, while passing visitors and guides reprimanded him. The officials said they were satisfied with the cleanup, and the German tourist escaped criminal damage charges.

The mind boggles!

What a complete and utter wanker. I hope he learned his lesson, but sadly I think it will more than likely be "Check for cameras".

What could his thought process have been? What a loser...

I am shocked! I would have expected it from an American a-hole but I had no idea that there were other a-hole species in the world. Globalization sucks! (somedays)
