Mouth-shaped urinal sparks complaints

[Lamp]

A Dutch McDonald's has been forced to remove a pair of mouth-shaped urinals after a tourist complained.

The branch in the south east of the Netherlands said it was removing the bright red, mouth-shaped urinals after a disgusted US customer complained to McDonald's head office in America.

Manager of the fast-food outlet Giel Pijper said the urinals, named Kisses, were works of art which he was now going to have to sell off.

The mouth-shaped urinals (see: http://www.flickr.com/photos/paolo/116347571/), 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.

The story is a bit extra funny for dutch readers.

"Pijper" the last name of the bloke translates to "someone performing oral sex"

those toilets are cool. i'd be unable to aim from laughing at pissing into a mouth though.

some folks are just killjoys n moan about anything tbh. would be suprised if they could leave their house without finding something to get offended at.
hmm maybe its cos ronald macdonald wears red lipstick that american prolly felt he was being rude pissing in his mouth after takin one of his burgers.

i quite like those though i'd be too scared to use them (if there was a sit-on-able version) incase it bit me bum, saw a monty python sketch when i was really really young and this pirannah jumped out a toilet bowl and bit/attached its self to a bloke (who was dressed as a cleaning woman) by the neck, ever since then i cant go to the loo with out looking in it first

personally i find the japanese toilets with the camera inside the bowl more disturbing than those tbh.

Haha, i couldn't agree more! I had the same thought.. i saw some children's show on TV when i was little.. a toilet seat was trying to eat a guy and started chasing him down the street, the lid flapping like an open mouth. Scary shit.. we're marked for life Ez!
