Toilets have been making news

portugesetoilets.jpgToilets have been making news around the globe this week. First, in Portugal where a mall is attempting to entice customers by lining their "bathrooms with lingerie clad mannequins." They have both male and female versions of these "underwear models" depending on which bathrooms you visit. Next up on the toilet beat, Beijing where to prepare for the Olympics, organizers are "refitting the toilets at three main Olympic venues after complaints from foreign athletes about having to squat." In China, many toilets involve standing over a whole in the ground. They also often lack toilet paper. I think the Portugese bathroom designers should go to Beijing and help out with the Olympic toilet redesign. The presence of sexy naked plastic dolls would help promote the Olympic ideals of friendship and hotness.
