OSAKA, Japan, Video from a toilet-themed exhibition at a Japanese museum shows schoolkids donning poop hats and sliding down an enormous commode.

The giant toilet, which was part of the Miraikan museum's "Toilet!? - Human Waste & Earth's Future" exhibit in Osaka, allowed children to learn about toilets and how they work by sliding into a giant replica toilet while wearing hats designed to resemble human feces.

The exhibition, which has since ended, also included interactive educational materials about the nature of feces and the impact of human and animal waste on the environment.

"You will develop a completely new appreciation for the unsung toilet," the museum said in describing the exhibit.

You know, they never really have been right again after those two bombs. They deserved it, but we really messed them up psychologically.

My personal opinion is that all of the atrocities committed by Japanese troops before and during our part of the war caused their entire society to be sickened, and that it has still not recovered. No way to prove that, of course, but that's what I think.

S**T, and why it happens, for kids.

Interesting. Ted Cruz enters a giant toilet every day the Senate is on session, so I imagine he knows how these Japanese kids feel.

Appears to be more than 1.6 gallon per flush?

The Japanese, while having many admirable traits, are such weirdos.

So Basically they toured an American College

or the inner workings of our fearful leader's brain.

My grandkids would like it!
The neighbors; not so much?

It may attract flies.

I love Japan. If I could go, I would. As crazy as it is, it’s saner than America 2015.

That said, I once read the best description of it I don’t think can be topped. Paraphrased...

You know that scene in Roger Rabbit where Eddie Valiant is outside Toontown, he looks over the fence and sees all sorts of insanity and chaos flying through the air, explosions etc?

That’s Japan.

I wonder if they got to keep the hat?
