Fascinating, but if I found this in a host's bathroom, I wouldn't be sure I should pee in it! LOL

I don't know which is worse, the ugly green toilet or the terrible tile surrounding it.

My eyes!

i think it looks like a pipe, not the kind that moves water, but the kind you smoke...

The colors shown are somewhat garish, but I can definitely see using this in the classic white, or maybe a soft pink.

Hah, you're right, jmorey! That lime green color doesn't help either...

I voted not, but it's again for the middle choice. It's really awful but it's not so awful that I want to smash it all to bits. I think we are just used to what a toilet is supposed to look like, and objectively, they're not that nice looking. They are simply toilet-shaped. Because I'm basically not a fan of drawing attention to the mundane things like trash pails and litter boxes, would rather just hide them or let them not take up space in the forefront of a quick glance around the room, this toilet exists as some sort of throne of sorts. It doesn't just say "poop here," it says "aim your behind over the hole in the weird sculpture." Nah-ah. Give me my toilet-shaped toilet.

We have a black President Elect; a woman ran for VP; there are (I think) 16 female senators; and the last time I counted, there were over 70 women in the House of Representatives. Not until toilets are designed by women will I be impressed. If men were the main cleaners of toilets, the whole picture would be different, too. I look at this toilet and imagine cleaning the pee out of that deep crevice down behind the seat. No, thanks. I file this in the Annoying Design folder, with other items that sacrifice function for cleverness.

Ceci n'est-ce pas une pipe, for SURE.

Put that in the guest bathroom and folks would have something to talk about at your parties.

Ugly. The Toto dual flush is kind of related, but definitely nicer to look at and also more obviously a toilet.

Pee Wee's Playhouse, lol! THey could name it "Johnny"...."and how are you feeling today, Johnny?" "A little crappy, PeeWee..."

Aulaire, as a fella who cleans the toilet in the house apartment, I'd argue expectations and responsibilities are changing in regards to gender roles. I know plenty of men in relationships who clean the toilet, so hopefully this means progress is being made.

I think this is cool. It doesn't look like a typical toilet. I think it'd be great in black, yellow, or beige.

I like my utilitarian objects to be a little less design-y. Maybe it's me, but I don't think a toilet deserves this much attention.

Gosh you're a conservative lot. I have a black toilet which I hand-sprayed myself, and I would love one of these.

In the lime green.
