Weird World: customer complains about mouth-shaped urinal in McDonalds

A Dutch McDonald's has been forced to remove a pair of mouth-shaped urinals after a tourist complained. The branch in the south east of the Netherlands said it was removing the bright red, mouth-shaped urinals after a disgusted US customer complained to McDonald's head office in America. Manager of the fast-food outlet Giel Pijper said the urinals, named Kisses, were works of art which he was now going to have to sell off. The mouth-shaped urinals, designed by Utrecht-based firm Bathroom Mania!, have already caused controversy. Virgin Airways was forced to scrap plans in 2004 to install two of the Kisses at New York's John F Kennedy airport after complaints they looked like women's mouths. But designer Meike van Schijndel has denied they were ever conceived as anything rude and said they were designed as a fun cartoon mouth and not as a woman's mouth.
