A urinal shaped like a woman’s wide-open mouth has been flushed out of the men’s room of a Hamilton eatery following a nearly year-long public outcry.
The glossy, red-lipped loo at The Honest Lawyer restaurant sparked a letter writing campaign that attracted almost 1,100 people, including Ontario’s NDP leader and Hamilton’s mayor.
Some people argued the “Kisses! urinal” — manufactured by Bathroom Mania! in the Netherlands — was art or just a joke.
The Woman Abuse Working Group, a coalition of 24 organizations, disagreed and led efforts to oust what it considered to be an offensive water closet.
Lenore Lukasik-Foss, chairwoman of the group, said Monday she’s “shocked, excited and thrilled” that it’s gone.
“It’s not a joke to pee into a woman’s mouth,” she said.

I find that last part in the quote rather funny in a nonsensical way.
I wonder if men think the same about dildos and whatnot... :tongue:
Man: I can't believe women go so far as to bang a plastic version of a penis when I have the real thing!
I find it more offensively on a decor sense rather based on gender. I bet the woman is just jealous because those urinal mouths are seeing more penis than she ever has in life.
This article is just full of funnies.
