Toilet Spy and other strangeness
I found this image on flickr today while searching for images tagged "Spy". It is from an employee-only men's bathroom in a Berlin office building. I wonder if there is another wall like this in the ladies room?
This ice toilet was setup by Microsoft, to promote Windows Vista, in Dundas Square I can't say that I understand how an ice house (and an ice toilet) promote Windows Vista but, I'm sure the ice sculptors don't care!
If you look around the world at toilets you can learn a lot about the people who live there. What some of my younger readers may not realize is that indoor plumbing is a relatively new invention. Not only 100 years ago people were still using slop jars to keep their waste in.
It also was not that long ago that British Columbia exposed the world to their high-tech urinals that hide underground during the daylight hours. Then, when the night crowd shuffles in they arise! What are they, vampyric toilets?

Thanks for the link…
I think those are “esteem building” urinals! ;-)
Two of them have the “I can’t see anything” expression on their faces.
Those 2 are the least popular urinals :P
the UriLift, just awesome…
I watch a lot of History Channel, and on one special I was watching (I don’t remember what the special was, probably about the wonders of modern plumbing), they showed a bathroom in Asia, Singapore or Hong Kong, maybe. It was in an extremely high-end jewelry store, and only paying customers were allowed to use it. Everything was solid gold and there were jewels and what-not inlayed everywhere. The fixtures and toilet and walls and everything were valued at several million dollars. It was a really nice bathroom!! Almost TOO nice to even use!
Those chicks checkin’ out the package is one thing, but that ice toilet makes me nervous. Imagine getting stuck on that thing with a little “ice burn”. Hey. I saw Jackass 2.
I think psychologically, those hot girls will make our public toilets cleaner.
In my country, public toilets are not free - yet they are so dirty, sometimes you wait till you get home to “release” the urge.
Now I know why you like my airport restroom posts! You tell me that it’s really your daughter who’s fixated on them but it’s really you. Plus, you get to see how “the other half”…goes.
Funny about the ice toilet. Very weird marketing. Or maybe apropos. Vista: cool to look at but melts down if you use it.
Or maybe it’s going for subtle - it gives the USER a meltdown!
More like, “Vista: Cool to look at, burns your bottom if you try to use it.”
That works, too.
