Olympic bathroom stall with two toilets raises eyebrows

SOCHI, Russia, A photo of two toilets side by side in a Sochi Olympics bathroom stall is causing a stir, with an opposition leader calling it an example of mismanaged funds.

The photo of two toilets in a men's bathroom stall at the Olympic Biathlon Center, which went viral after being posted to Twitter by a BBC correspondent, led social media users to joke about officials spending too much money on toilets and not enough on stall partitions, the Moscow Times reported Thursday.

The photo of the toilets indicates the possibility of an even more awkward situation, as the stall's sole roll of toilet paper is only within reach of one of the commodes.

Opposition leader Alexei Navalny said the picture serves as evidence of the government mismanaging much of the $50 billion budget for the upcoming Olympics.

As long as the occupants carry PooPourri, it should work out... :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKLnhuzh9uY

only in a communist (or recovering communist) country is this possible. In the good ol’ US of A there would have been someone who said “hey, what’s wrong with these plans?”

I have a few unrelated comments on this.

1. The Love Toilet, per SNL.

2. Why the concern? Men seem to have no problem pulling it out in front of other guys. That is pretty standard pub(l)ic bathroom behavior. Don’t hand me “it’s different”. It is all about modesty, and if you have no modesty in the front, who cares about the rest?

The Larry Craig Memorial Public Crapper — eliminates the need for.those awkward toe taps and hand gestures while you eliminate

(Similar unit installed in White House private quarters for Barry-Reggie hookups.)

This is for women, who always go to the bathroom in pairs anyway.

I’m actually more surprised that they’re not facing each other.

Some do, some don’t, I don’t...

But I have always been a loner.

no this is confusing.

actually the picture posted here was a special built toilet (or more correctly turlet)for the possibility of Chris ‘KristieKreme’ Christie, visiting the Olympics

They got the idea from "The Love Toilet" on SNL.

It’s a wide stall for those with a wide stance.
