I can't believe that anyone even considered this, but here it is:
___________________________________________________________________

"Virgin Airways has decided the men's rooms in its section of New York's JFK airport should have urinals shaped like a woman's mouth. I don't care if that mouth is their trademark; this is so unbelievably offensive to me. Also offensive is Fashion Wire Daily's description of the urinals as "dolled up with red lipstick, wide open and ready for business."

1. How silly.

Unbelievable that someone would seriously consider installing these quite unfunny novelty devices.

Funny as hell though.

So the people at JFK International Airport are into Golden Showers?

Interesting, but way more information than I needed to know.

Virgin's urinals get public kiss-off
From correspondents in New York
March 20, 2004

CITING public concern, Virgin Atlantic has scrapped plans to install urinals in the shape of a woman's lips at the airline's clubhouse at New York's John F. Kennedy airport.

"Everyone at Virgin Atlantic was very sorry to hear of people's concerns about the design of the 'Kisses' urinals," the airline said.

"We can assure everyone who complained to us that no offence was ever intended."



I find it hard to believe that noone figured people would be upset!

Really!

9. Oh, I suspect these things will sell quite well in the PRIVATE sector

.

come to think of it . .

If they wanted a "marketing" plan to get their "product" known,

This was BRILLIANT!

IT's been covered INTERNATIONALLY for FREE.

Can't get better advertising than THAT.

4. Designer urinals

How about urinals designed in the shape of famous people's lips? I bet the one with Bush, Cheney or Rove's lips would get a lot of traffic.
