Guess the Photo: Toilet Decor

Ha! When we found this photo (and the source), we laughed for a good twenty minutes. Seriously awesome if you have a potty sense of humor. The answer, plus more photos (warning: some of the photos below the jump may gross you out!), are after the jump!

[ Photos from Funfever Blogspot ]

Answer: A restaurant in Taiwan! It's called--what else?--Modern Toilet. And if you think the decor is funny (toilet seats! Bidet sconces!), wait until you check out their, uh, plates. We'll spare you the more graphic photos (just look here for their curry dishes)...

[ This brings a whole new meaning to soft serve. ]

[ Pho in your potty ]

Can we order a poo-poo platter, please?

I so knew it before I even looked at any of the other photos. I love Asia.

Okay, so, what does the bathroom look like? A mid-range eatery?!

Are the real toilets in that restaurant shaped like serving platters?

DO NOT LOOK AT SHOEPINS' LINK.

Seriously. You cannot ever unsee what you will see if you click that link. I am not even messing around. Shoepins, you are a bona-fide douchebag.

I am really struggling to not look at that link now...I won't, but it's like anytime someone tells you not to, you feel compelled to!

Store slogan: "Urine for a treat at Modern Toilet." (Courtesy of my bf, the punmaster).

Kids,
I say this because I care. It is worse than what you're imagining. Just pass on this one. Or, get someone else to watch it and just watch their reaction. Then you can decide if its really worth it to you.

PS...great slogan from the bf, bipolarbear.

Ack! I had a nightmare like this last night! I arrived at work to find that the gent's and ladies' had been combined into one big bathroom with toilets everywhere and no partitions.
This restaurant is just gross.
