Store owners will do almost anything to bring customers to their place of business. One
French restaurant named “The Ananas Bar and Restaurant” in Sydney,
installed two weird urinals to attract attention. The urinals were
designed to look like a woman's mouth with red lips.
The
restaurant owner said: “The bright red-lipped urinals shaped like an
open mouth was a commonly used European design piece from female Dutch
artist Meike Van Schijndel.”
Women repeatedly asked for
permission to go in to take photos of the urinals. But feminist, former
political adviser and writer, Anne Summers, was not impressed with the
urinals. She called the design offensive. She demanded the restaurant
owner remove the red-lipped urinals.
The owner of the recently
opened restaurant did not want the negative attention from feminists, so
they agreed to remove the urinals and apologized for anyone it may have
offended. “We sincerely apologize if they have offended anyone. They
are being removed today,” a spokeswoman said in a statement.
