shaped like an open mouth were "a commonly used European design piece
from female Dutch artist Meike van Schijndel".
"We sincerely apologise if they have caused offence. They are being removed today," a spokeswoman said in a statement.
Feminist, former political adviser and writer Anne Summers said the

"The concept is pretty challenging and confronting. They're asking men to put their d(expletive) in these mouths as urinals."

Bah! I understand how wrong and widespread sexism and misogyny are, but feminism makes me sigh with a smile sometimes. There's this shopping mall I've been to where the urinals have pics of women laughing and pointing at your 'you know what'. It might be distracting or annoying to some, but no man went to the media screaming how offended they felt.
