Virgin urinals shaped like mouths

VIRGIN Airlines always promises service with a smile - but urinals shaped like a wide-open woman's mouth may just have overstepped the boundaries of good taste.

Virgin Atlantic has installed the Dutch-designed urinals, complete with lipstick, in its flash new passenger clubhouse at New York's JFK airport.

The lounge also offers trans-Atlantic passengers limousines, a giant waterfall, reflecting pool, movies, video games, sumptuous dining and bar facilities.

The urinals, however, have left mouths agape.

Known as Kisses, they were designed by female Dutch illustrator and designer Meike van Schijndel through her company, Bathroom Designs.

"This is one target men will never miss," the company says of its "tantalizing, sexy" urinal.

The company is also marketing toilets shaped and painted like flowerpots.

Designed by the dutch....

[BikerNYC]

I gotta get me one of these.

Homosexual men will be filing a multi-million $$ lawsuit. The urinal clearly depicts a female mouth.

Eurotrash.

I think the Dutch also figured out that if you have a small ceramic bug statue, glazed to look like a real insect, right in the target region of urinals, the janitor has less mess to clean up because men really do try to aim for it.

So, will they be clamoring for a hairy butt or a moustached mouth?

Hmm. I wonder. Why just lips? How about the rest of the face too. Maybe if I sent them a picture (where is the dart board) of my first wife they could make me one. So I could do to it what her lawyers did to me.

It's here.

WHAT! NO pictures yet?

Your wish is my command!

I think I'd lose the buck teeth though, too threatening!

Do I detect a hint of misogyny?

[Old Professer]

My MIL wrongly blamed me for leaving the seat up so I swore I'd never fail to put it down again; to this day I close both lids.

Awhile back, the swamper at a local honky-tonk came up to me at the bar and accused me of pissing on the floor; I informed him that it certainly had to be the blind-drunk dummy who went in behind me.

[Old Professer]

Missed something...

[onyx]

That's awful.
The whole idea is awful.

[Makedonski]

there should be a face to go with it. Drawn on the wall.

Lets see any favourite female in mind .... :))

They can have a pull-down paper thing like the toilet seat liners, with a picture of a man's rear end.

Absolutely hilarious

Bad taste. Who cares?
