Gay Guy,
A private German Rolling Stones museum (ugh, of course) installed these urinals, apparently oblivious to the controversy that could ensue...
Critic: "Why does it have to be a woman's mouth? If it had been based on the emblem of the stones with the tongue, it would have been okay. But the tongue's been left out and they really look like women's mouths."
Owner: "That's not a man's mouth or a woman's mouth, that's art... They were damned expensive and they're staying where they are."
The owner was right about one thing: the expense. They cost 695 euros each! [Link]
What do you think, GG? Readers? Do you see the Stones logo? Homage or insult?

Oh, where to start??
Why are women concerned about men's bathrooms? It's like women who are rabidly anti-circumcision - y'all don't have a dog in this fight.
I don't see them as male or female lips.
A friend in Europe sent a photo of these urinals but set very low to the ground - conjured images of child sexual abuse.
Finally, why are people always trying to make the restroom an exciting or creative or whatever experience? It's a bathroom!!! Art school graduates should be separated from the rest of the population.
I get that folks are concerned about the degradation of women, but apparently no one is concerned that everyone is urinating on the symbol of the very group that the museum is established to celebrate.
That's just wrong....
It's art! But it's also a very small space to have urinals in a museum.
OMG - Love this.
Bad taste is timeless.
I just see a floor with no drain ... and therefore a lot of extra work for someone, no matter what the urinals look like!
