Branson installs urinals in the shape of a woman's mouth

Virgin Atlantic is (or was, apparently they're going to scrap the idea after massive complaints) to install urinals in the shape of a woman's open mouth at its arrivals club lounge at JFK airport.

A bit of naughty fun, or a disgusting sexist statement by Branson's company? Is this to fulfil some first class yuppie businessmen's fantasies of pissing on women's mouths?

Well dodgy in my opinion. Perhaps Branson did it 'for a laugh' but surely he could have predicted the outrage that has ensued since?

    You know that these were designed by a woman, don't you?

    I heard her being interviewed a couple of days ago and she really struggled to see the fuss that was being caused...

    I guess that woman is being accused of 'collaboration' in some circles right now. ;)

    I don't think Branson or his company intended to send the message that it's okay to piss on women's mouths- though if the woman is consenting then there is nothing wrong with it. Richard Branson has always had this kind of schoolboy kind of humour.

    However they should have expected the storm they were going to create. Or perhaps they were counting on it on the maxim that 'all publicity is good publicity.'

    Some people get offended too easily, i dont see nothing degrading or sexist i think its more for novelty value.... people can use them and say "i pissed in a urinal that was shaped like a womans mouth" thats definitely something you dont do everyday!!!

    The people who complained about that really do have too much spare time on their hands.

    They should get a hobby :yes:

    Now that would be funny! They should put the same ones in the lady's room aswell. Then they'd really get... emm... mad.

    Well I think that JFK airport would be the best place for these toilets... He would have liked it. Isn't there a Bill Clinton Airport somewhere?

    Maybe a William Clinton... W.C. ... Hmm...

    I edited to say that this thing still says "fast newbie"... I've been here over two years and only posted 100 times! Fast?

    For someone with the Spanish "manana" approach, I'd say that was fast... ;)

    Have to say, that's actually one thing I love about Spain, no hurry...
