art or offence?

What about the possibility that the designer/manufacturer is just trying to make a statement about the Rolling Stones?

I hadn't thought of that, my association was immediately with that sofa Andy Warhol designed like a pair of red lips.

I guess the immediate difference is, this is implicitly designed to be used (a) only by men and (b) in a way that's a lot more unkind than sitting on it.

I would use it, and be mildy amused while doing so.

I'm not into watersports, or even into that kind of humiliation ... not that anyone can humiliate porcelain objects at all. Now if women were brought in to act as urinals, maybe there would be grounds for objecting, but an image of a mouth (a man's? a woman's?) is nothing more than a cue to the imagination.

What I imagine is my own business.

It's like saying that a man who masturbates over a photograph is abusing the woman in the picture, or even over a hentai cartoon.

In my view, people do need to be considerate of other people's sensitivities, but imposing political correctness is a form of fascism. PC is a standard weapon in the armoury of militant femininsm, and I see it at work here. No woman has been harmed in the production of the urinals, or in their use. They are kept out of sight of women (with the possible exception of cleaners). Really, where's the problem?

This is just another excuse to make a fuss about nothing at all.

Or about me! Step right up! See if you can hit the uvula!
