While we can't actually read the newspapers here, we often flip through them just for the photos.

Turns out that Virgin American had considered installing them in their VIP bathroom at JFK Airport and when they scrapped the order it actually helped the local company here in Utrecht. Apparently the designer didn't realize that it could be demeaning to women; she meant it as a sexy cartoon mouth. To read more, click here: Kiss Urinal
