Virgin Atlantic Accomodations
 

Virgin Atlantic has opened a new clubhouse at JFK airport in New York that features a urinal in the shape of a woman's open mouth.

The Clubhouse cost more than £2m to build and is equipped with the very latest wireless technology. Booths offering i-Mac computers are positioned in the Business Area and are individually screened for ultimate privacy.

There is also a waterfall flowing into a 90ft-long pool, a bar, playstations and a 42" plasma television screen.

Virgin Atlantic Airways has scrapped plans to install bright-red urinals shaped like women's open lips at New York's John F Kennedy International Airport, saying it had received complaints they were offensive.

"Virgin Atlantic was very sorry to hear of people's concerns about the design of the 'Kisses' urinals to be fitted into our clubhouse at JFK Airport. We can assure everyone who complained to us that no offence was ever intended," Virgin spokesman John Riordan said in a statement on Friday.

Riordan said the company received several dozen complaints from people and groups including the National Organisation for Women after its plans for the urinals had been made public.

"I don't know many men who think it's cool to pee in a woman's mouth, even a porcelain one," said NOW President Kim Gandy on the group's Web site.

The urinal, designed by a Dutch company, was the idea of a female designer. Riordan said Virgin was surprised by the negative reaction to the plan, part of designs for the lounge, built to pamper first-class customers.

I don't see why the NOW even gives a shit... It's in the mens room for god sakes! And if any men are offended by it, they should be using the womens room ;)

Did they really expect people not to be offended, or was this just a publicity stunt?

This idea is brought to you by the same company that paints "Mine is longer than yours" on the side of thier new Airbus 340-500/600's. It does not surprise me.
