Take that,Troy: Australians rip Zac Efron's head off

, Prev Next An alarming crime wave has descended upon High School Musical 3 marketing materials across the country - with images of Zac Efron beheaded, defaced and just plain stolen from Australian cinemas! But are these heinous crimes against cardboard acts of love or hatred?

Zac's superstardom has definitely spread Down Under after the High School Musical singey-dancey stuff was massive in the US, with any tween girl with a pulse plastering his bronzer-laden face on their bedroom walls. So why the vandalism?

The shot at left was taken of the HSM 3 display at Reading Cinemas in Perth, with Zac's head cruelly torn from his cardboard body.

The shot below is of another display at a Hoyts cinema in Sydney, with the Zac head ripped off in exactly the same fashion. Is this some kinda wacky tween crime cult we're unaware of? We can just see a bunch of 10-year-old Disney Girl readers giggling over their dad's laptop conspiring over IM.


Beheaded! The HSM crew, minus Zac Efron's head, at a Hoyts Cinema in Sydney - and inset: te original display

The death toll so far for Zac displays stands at three, with a Hoyts rep saying a further HSM display has been removed completely after being "destroyed".

OK, destroyed? This makes the matter a little more sinister than a bunch of girls wanting a cardboard Zac head to smuggle home. Who could ever want to harm such a cheery, fresh-faced, wholesome group of teen entertainers?

“We knew there were huge numbers of fanatical High School Musical fans out there but who’d have thought they would go to this extreme?" said Disney publicist Sam Jones. "Zac Efron is currently one of the hottest properties in Hollywood so there is no surprise people here are trying to get a piece of him."

More details as they come...

this is the most funny thing apart from the robert pattinson and taylor launter posters!!!Zac deserved that.LOL, my friend threw out everything of him she had which was practically her whole room because he grew a mustache!!
people wouldnt of taken the head and vandalised it if they liked him. they would seriously hate him. I can name heaps of people that would love to see his head gone like that, cause seriously he's so annoying.
Guys seriously the fan, guy or girl... (doesn't matter) obviuosly like zac so much (WHO WOULDN'T) that his huge carboard head was too much for them to just look at they had to take it!
SERIOUSLY.... these celbs need to grow up because if it wasnt for the FANS they wouldnt be RICH!! they're ungrate full. If i was a fan i would be like stuff that they dont care unless they are getting paid...
I think they found out about them throwing the gifts away. Seriously, it's like they HATE US!
Um... have any of you ever thought that someone ripped zac's head off just because they liked him and wanted to take a huge cardboard cutout of his hot head?? how smart were they
actually 'blaaaaa' ur the immature 1!!! ppl like me stick up 4 him because we think he has a great personality the hotness just comes on side. u really need 2 get overr urself. and sticking up 4 somone isnt immature, being an idiot and not knowing anything about the person u hates life is really stupid!!! y do u hate him anyway is it because he's rich, famous, almost every girl thinks hes hot and loves him or just because u want 2 blam somone because of ur own personal hate towards ur looks and insecuratey!!! so you grow up!! GET A LIFE!!!!
omg! cause the police!! not yeash, its obvious that someone just doesn't like him, so jeez.
OMG how funny!!!! I can't believe someone would do that.! OMG whoever did that is smart!!!!( No, litterally).
