We have covered urinals before. Who hasn’t?. See NYC Pay Toilets: Pit Stops for a Pittance & Do You Swash.
But when we saw these we said, “whoa now big fella”. Because of objections by an American tourist, a Dutch McDonalds is removing this mouth from the men’s bathroom. {Thanks to caffeinegoddess at Adland).
Toilets from Bathroom Mania!. According to the company: “Better than aiming at the fly. One target men will never miss.”
From a report from Ananova:
The mouth-shaped urinals, designed by Utrecht-based firm Bathroom Mania!, have already caused controversy.
Virgin Airways was forced to scrap plans in 2004 to install two of the Kisses at New York’s John F Kennedy airport after complaints they looked like women’s mouths.
But designer Meike van Schijndel has denied they were ever conceived as anything rude and said they were designed as a fun cartoon mouth and not as a woman’s mouth.
Maybe the manufacturer should not have named the urinals “Kisses”, the sexy urinal. Just our opinion.
PS: Pic on right Photoshopped says Dabitch at Adland–yeah, that’s her name)
Update: An Austrian business owner near the Vienna national opera was forced to remove his woman mouth public urinal.
