What A Pisser

VIENNA, Austria - An Austrian businessman announced Thursday that he would get rid of urinals shaped like a woman's mouth from a public toilet near Vienna's national opera, after facing pressure from politicians who demanded their removal.

The urinals, which are located in the "Opera Toilet," a lavishly decorated public restroom, feature thick, lipsticked lips, a set of teeth and a bright red tongue.

"We think that it's tasteless, misogynistic and offensive," Marianne Lackner, media spokeswoman for the Vienna Department of Women's Affairs told The Associated Press. (full article)

What's ironic is that these urinals have been in place for three years. Only now has somebody raised a stink about them.

This is a telling quote: "The thing that surprises us the most," Lackner said, "is that no man has ever said anything about this."

Tasteless? Yeah. Kinda. Misogynistic? Debatable. Offensive? I can see that.

So why do I want one?
