Gothamist knows golden shower

pee"Gothamist knows that Virigin Airlines is supposed to be risque and everything, but the new lipsticked-mouth urinal at the Virgin Airways Clubhouse at JFK is really gross. While golden shower may be a part of people's sexual repertoire, Gothamist sees no need for them to be encouraged. However, if this is a way for men to act out the fantasy, well, pee on. But it's just gross. The Post reports Virgin Airways as saying, "We expect the response to the urinal to be very positive. With everything we do, we want there to be a smile, and that's also the case in the clubhouse. The urinal is just for fun. But it's not the centerpiece of the clubhouse." But the spokesman admits, "There will be some people that won't like it."

Netherlands design company Bathroom Mania created the "Kisses" urinal. Made of vitreous china, "it's the one target men never miss." Blech."
